Sunrises on Beaver Island

SOME OF MY SHOTS OF BEAUTIFUL SUNRISES HERE ON BEAVER ISLAND.

Venus and the moon are in this shot but don't know if you can see it.

Misty sunrise.





This is a series of sunrise shots (these are all from my deck) over Lake Michigan. I just kept clicking as the sun rose.






The water produces the nice colors I guess.





This is a sunset shot with the lake in beautiful pinks and blues.

Beaver Island Marathon 2009 etc.

Paid en Oggs road on Beaver Island. This photo kind of shows what it is like with the trees and the "opening" at the end of the road, in the sun.

Our cabin from the beach.

My kayak waiting for some use!

Sunset clouds.

Butterfly bush at friend's house.

Labor Day weekend was the first Beaver Island marathon. Attached here is an article about the race. It was a gorgeous day and the runners seemed to like the island although they couldn't find any McDonald's to eat at!!

See this article about the marathon recently held on Beaver Island.

Celtic Festival on Beaver Island

On a beautiful fall day, the Celtic Festival was held on lovely Beaver Island, Michigan. Some of us artisans also had booths alongside the field. Here's a view of some of the booths with the Whiskey Point Lighthouse in the background.

This is a view thru my tent/booth to the Traverse Drum and Bugle Corps. Men in kilts!

Great sounds and right in front of my booth!

Here they come!

The ladies in front were doing dancing steps.






The games were held in the field - caber tossing (telephone poles!!), stones, "lamb" tossing (filled bags), hammer throws.
