A snippet of my day yesterday and some photos taken throughout the month of July.

It has been nearly 6 weeks since Mark and I moved from Athens, Ohio, to Harbor Springs, Michigan. So much has happened! I am going to let my photos do most of the talking! These are not in chronological order, but neither are the happy memories, visual experiences, and feelings that swirl around in my heart and mind as I become acclimated to this new hometown.
When spring finally arrived, Mark and I went down to the Marina after dinner and enjoyed seeing the first boats docked in the Harbor Springs marina on Lake Michigan.
This is the most recent photo, taken May 24 at Petoskey State Park, about 10 miles from our home. I lived by the Gulf of Mexico for 17 years. It is good to live near water again!
I loved this plant, growing on the sand dunes.
We have become more active recyclers in our new town. These "friends" appear at the various recycling collection stations.
Here is my Hipstamatic pic of the marina in May. Soon, this place will be full of boats!
