The Point Betsie Lighthouse on a partly cloudy moonlit night. The moon light is being reflected off some interesting cloud formations as the aurora competes for attention. Taken in the early hours of 10/2/2025.

The Watchman reflecting the last of the warm light of the setting sun on an April day in 2017. The Virgin River curves gently toward the mountain guiding your gaze toward this wonderful scene in Zion National Park.

Sunset at Loon Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, with the smoke and haze the sun has been not much more than a red orb in the sky at sunset for much of the summer. Taken on 8/5/2025.

We are getting a lot of the smoke from the wildfires in Canada and the western states. The sky above our house right now is milky white.
