I can actually hear the soft gurgle of the stream- beautiful!
Pure Michigan indeed 🙂

  We are in complete agreement on that. 🙂 You can drive for miles on this road without seeing another car. However, you may see a doe with fawns, as I did last summer.

  Thank you, Rupali. In my mind, I can hear the water rushing over the rocks and feel how cool it is to the touch.

We have friends outside of Traverse City on Arbutus Lake and I find the same feeling of peace amid the nearby gurgling streams. Beautifully captured Tom

  The Traverse City area also has its share of beautiful spots. Sleeping Bear dunes, for one. 🙂
