I have a friend that lives up in Big Rapids. The conspiracy theories up there are so crazy and common. It’s sad.

A pen and pencil sketch of my old dog Elly May. She was a quarter coyote and some percent Beagle. She was a good dog. At that time all the animals on the old farm were named after the Beverley Hillbillies. #FarmDog #Coyote #Drawing #Dogs #EllyMay #BeverleyHillbillies #Beagles #Mutts #Pencil #Pen #Farms #WestMichigan

A colored pencil and ink sketch of a dog.  It's a mutt, heavy to coyote, black coat, dark green eyes, a long'ish low'ish body, a no-nonsense face.  And text with her name, Elly May, and her breed, 1/4 coyote, 3/4 Mutt, 100% Good Dog.  X% > 1% Beagle.

Three select photos from my hike today at Pickerel Lake. I got to the lake before sunrise and it was bitterly cold. Thankfully the sun came up and I warmed up soon after.

A beautiful (if a bit cold) evening at the Grand Haven lighthouse pier. Love coming here in winter!

A wide view of a long concrete pier jutting out into Lake Michigan with a catwalk with lights on it along the pier. At the end are a red lighthouse and secondary building with red lights on top. A moody, cloudy sky looms overhead.A wide view of a long concrete pier jutting out into Lake Michigan with a catwalk with lights on it along the pier.

This scene seemed silly when I was at the pier taking it… The dimucks in the foreground and the woman and her mother pointing off into the distance… But it ended up being my favorite photo from the day. Such a lovely moment.

Two women standing on a cold beach and pointing into the distance. A group of ducks is huddled together nearby, while the waves of Lake Michigan come in towards them. There is snow on the beach and a smoke stack in the far distance.
