Heading north from the pond, I saw this sight in my rear-view mirror and figured it just might be worth pulling over for:

By 9:00 am, traffic was starting to stream onto the road and I made my escape. But I made a stop at my favourite Osprey nest, and found one of the parents in a tree, getting ready to fly south again.

I got to play a little at micro soccer today. Most of the time he was dancing or laughing, but I did catch this one.

+2 - #2 is my favorite too. Looks like a very beautiful area. Wouldn't mind going for a drive on that road.Quote:

So I reluctantly got up, thinking it was going to be cloudy and rainy. I am sure glad I listened to her. The sky was clear except to the northwest there looked like the were so nice clouds forming over Lake Michigan - so we decided to head north to Little Sable Point Lighthouse to see if the rising sun would light up the clouds. And it did.
This was the view as I was walking towards the lighthouse:

Then as I got over the dune to see Lake Michigan. There was a storm out over the lake heading my way:

Then a Rainbow formed at the norther edge of the rain that was falling under the cloud:

So I got the Sigma wide angle out and managed to get the lighthouse, reflection of the light, Lake Michigan, an incoming storm, and a rainbow all in one shot:

What a great morning, and I managed to get back home in time to eat a nice breakfast. I am sure glad I did not roll over and go back to sleep.
Beautiful series Pat.
