A Pink Kind of Blue
This is pretty close to ‘what I saw’, although I did pump-up the color a ‘bit’, etc. Shocking, right?!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Dune Thistle at Seawall
Thistles are magenta…
Skies are blue…
Over-saturation, that’s just what I do!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Water’s Edge – Lake Michigan
Decent beach. Quite a few pirates this time of year, though. *Hrmph*… tourists.
Mr. Gibbs: “Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed ’em together and made a raft.”
Will Turner: “He roped a couple of sea turtles?”
Mr. Gibbs: “Aye. Sea turtles.”
Will Turner: “What did he use for rope?”
Captain Jack Sparrow: “Human hair. From my back.”

Cat’s Head Point
Cat’s Head Point was quiet…. surprisingly… quiet…
Charlie Kelly: “Hello! Charlie Kelly here… local business man and cat enthusiast. Is your cat making too much noise all the time? Is your cat constantly stomping around, driving you crazy? Is your cat clawing at your furniture? Think there’s no answer? You’re so stupid! There is! Kitten Mittens! Finally, there’s a elegant, comfortable mitten for cats. I couldn’t hear anything! Is your cat one-legged? Is your cat fat, skinny or an in-between? That doesn’t matter, ’cause one size fits all! Kitten Mittens… you’ll be smitten! So come on down to Paddy’s Pub… we’re the home of the original Kitten Mittens! Meeeeeeoooooow!”

Mackinac Bridge
Here’s a shot of the third longest suspension bridge in the world… or, well… part of it, anyway. What can I say, 26,372 feet is a lot of bridge. Cropity crop.
Have a great weekend, everyone! More numbers here, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Stephanie Mangano: “You know all about the bridge, don’t ‘cha.”
Tony Manero: “That’s right. I know everything about that bridge.”

Cantilevered?
Is anybody out there?! I hope so… the villagers might have revolted yesterday… so, today I have a calm, lightly toned, black and white image to share. Although the random craziness of this blog is what makes it fun-ish (I think). It’s like Forrest Gump. Or his proverbial box of chocolates, anyway.
I’m not sure what to title this photo… I keep going back and forth. It was called ‘port’ for a while. Then ‘cantilever’. Then ‘cantilevered’. Not sure I’m cool with those, though. Any suggestions? Besides “STOP FORREST, STOP”, that is?!
