Pine River in northern Michigan has been a favorite spot for me since visiting as a boy, with my grandparents on summer vacations. The gentle melody of water rushing over the rocks still whispers a memory from around the bend. It’s also a place where you can take a diversion down a two-lane back road with the only sound the pine cones crunching under the tires. And who knows? You may meet a local resident while walking along a secluded path.

My kind of local resident. You and I are too predictable in our choices. 🙂 But who cares?

Well, predictability means you’ve taken the time to view many of my posts, which I take as a great compliment!

Deer have that great combination of curiosity and caution. The first makes them stop for a few moments so you can take their picture, and the second sends them bolting off into the woods so you get a glimpse of how beautifully they run. 🙂
