Nature can be so reflective....so peaceful......
Like water running over snow covered rocks in the Ausable River....
A beautiful Doe frolicking in the woods....
A group of Mallard Ducks swimming soft circles.....
Or it can be vicious like a cougar attacking your arm!

Here's to nature, and lol @ your cat!
I loved growing up in Michigan. It is a beautiful state. Love your attack cat :-)
Ah! Felicity! We have an AuSable River in our area - it's a big deal in the High Peaks area of the Adirondacks. I knew there was another one in Michigan, but I had never really known much about it. Neat!
Yeah cougars of that nature can be very vicious. But seriously, I am with you, I am in total awe of all the beauty that MI nature has to behold. I think we have some of the most beautiful wildlife around. But I am in no way partial at all here now, am I?
Your pictures are making me miss farrr N.Idaho even more! I see Marvin is an attack cat. he he.
LOL I just love Marvin!
I can't tell you how many times my son's have been up and down the Ausable river on canoes, rafts, and even tires. It's just beautiful up there. My uncle owned some land near Roll-a-way's and our son's camped along the river all the time.
You're so blessed to enjoy your nature and your log cabin, Shelley! I always love your photos!
Have a great day!
Tammy

LOL....I kept expecting these serene nature pictures as I was scrolling down. You surprised me with the picture of Marvin...
Oh you have cougars to. I have a lion. Love them to bits.
I like the cougar attack (o:
Michigan is soooo beautiful!!!!! Yes, here's to Nature and Marvin!!! lol!
Love, Joy =D
Love the pictures. BTW, gave you an award. Come over to my blog and pick it up. -Sandy
You have to watch out for the vicious cougars in the wild. :>) I love photos that show water churning or even waves crashing. It's such a beautiful area you live in with a multitude of photo opportunities.
I'm so glad you took the time
To show us all your friends
Even in this cold clime
The wonder never ends
You are increasing my desire to visit Northern Michigan. The beauty that you capture so often with photography, is AMAZING!!! I also enjoy the humor that you throw in...with the last photo.
your cat is funny! i was hoping to see more or springy type pictures but we just got snow and another cold snap. gonna be a few more weeks i guess.
Hi Shelley-what a beautiful 'neck of the woods' you live in! I so enjoy all your pictures :)
Have yourself a great day, girl!
Hugs-Kath
i love your photos!! and the cougar is ferocious!!
At least the cougar is indoors, and not wreaking havoc with the wildlife outside! :-)
You make every dream I have ever had of living in a cabin in the mountains come true!!
So is winter back in Gaylord? Hope you didn't put your snow shoes away yet.

Hey Shelley-
Yes, removed. Had surgery a week ago today. Am recovering well. Saw surgeon for post-op visit today and all looks great. I am starting to feel kinda "normal" again.
This was not fun. You know what I mean! So glad to have it mostly behind me.
Thanks for stopping by.
