A wicked storm shot past us last night, filling the sky with so much lightening that I was able to catch a few. I had no clue what settings I should use but my very old camera and I made the best of it.

A dark sky is illuminated by a lightning strike partially obscured by clouds.

We somehow managed to find ways to carefully store 12+ years of our daughter’s art but all we’ve really done is buy ourselves time to figure out where even more are going to go when she brings them home.

A vibrant cloud formation tinged with pink and orange hues is set against a clear sky above silhouetted tree tops and the roof of a house at sunset.

This bird has flown and her mother and I left our hearts in Ann Arbor.

People are gathered in a hallway with arched ceilings, near a colorful signboard detailing a college welcome week schedule.

We got her a new toy as an apology for being gone so long. She likes it so much that she now sleeps with it.

A tabby cat is resting its head on a colorful rainbow toy while lying on a gray couch.

View atop Sleeping Bear Dunes. The edge of that sand drops waaaaaaaay down to a, “it will cost you a $3,000 rescue helicopter ride if you can’t walk back up yourself” beach.

A sandy path at Sleeping Bear Dunes bordered by green trees leads down to a vast, calm body of blue water with a small boat floating in the distance.

The ferry was rocking and rolling on Lake Huron so much that I’m impressed my camera managed this shot of The Mighty Mack.
Also, my hat got blown off… and into the woman behind me. Embarrassing but now it’s my “lucky” hat.

The Mackinac suspension bridge spans over a large body of water under a partly cloudy sky.

After decades of being buried beneath a shitty parking lot, like a lifted curse, the failed racetrack’s demolition has finally allowed the river to rejoin the world.

The gate swings open and the dungeon reveals itself before you…
