Sun Spots

Headed over to Empire, Michigan, in a quest to see the green flash. The sun settled into clouds and disappeared prior to ducking below the horizon, however.

In any case, I find it interesting to be able to view these sun spots as if I'm using a solar filter, which I'm not.

I haven't posted much here recently. That's because I'm working intensively on two new books at the moment. One is still super secret. But I can already tell you about the other one: There are animals in it. Who would have thought that… #newproject #project #secret #bookstagram #book #instabook #illustration #illustrator #animals #wildlife #bear #grizzly #sleepingbear #childrensbooks #dieterbraun #brauntown https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn_0XO7razR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wishing you all well from the northern shores of Lake Michigan on this fine Spring evening. ✨Tomorrow✨ I'll be at the 🌊Frankfort Farmers Market on Main Street downtown from 9am-2pm! Stop on by to check out my new Petoskey Stone pieces. This one is inspired by sleeping bear dunes, and the peace of the sandy white shores. #forestemporium #sleepingbear #sleepingbeardunes #frankfortmichigan #crystallake #pointbetsylighthouse #lakemichigan #michigan #michigander #petoskeystone #petoskeystones #petoskeystonejewelry

North Manitou Shoal Light Station

This light sits in between North Manitou Island and Pyramid Point, on the Michigan mainland. Preceded by a light ship, this permanent light structure has been in existence since 1935. It had a three-person crew, but was automated in 1980; it was sold four years ago to a non-profit organization that intends to fully restore the station.

The station sits about half way across the six-mile strait; Pyramid Point and the two Manitou Islands are part of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore.

I got a cheeky spitter kill last night :) Everyone else was down/dead so I went to the person in the safe room and spit at the door

The dunes can be so expansive as your making your way over them. It still boggles my mind how much it can look like a dessert or savannah like landscape. . . . . . . . #sleepingbear #sleepingbeardunes #sleepingbeardunesnationallakeshore #photography #editing #edit #photoshoped #photoshop #inspirational #climbingup #duneclimbing #michigan #michiganlandscapes #landscapes #practicingmyediting #cdcover #dunes #dune #nationallakeshore #puremichigan (at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4FVMCPHns/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
