Sooo beautiful Joey!!! I love the green man..wow..he is awesome..one of my fave friends! i always enjoy all your posts..they are truly a breath of fresh air and spirit to my day...Gorgeous photo series!!
Happy Gardening-cooking and creating!!
Kiki~
So...is that sunflower field off 23 on your up north. We used to pass a sunflower field on the way up to Lost Lake and one year Cait and I stopped so she could take pictures. I was just wondering if it's still there.
And I remembered the name of the bar with the good hamburgers up near Hubbard Lake. It was called Smokey's. Does that ring a bell?
Thank you, dear Kiki. Green Man is hanging on the cottage wall, delighted to be overlooking at the lake from his perched view. Happy August :)
Hi Lindalou! Actually, it's on Nicholson Hill Road, just north of the lake. Too funny, we are on the hill, just a tad south of Smokey's! New owners but the hamburgers are still good ... so you must give us a call if ever near. Just got home late Mon and heading back tomorrow :)
Great shots; looks fantastic. The one with sun golden on the water just drew me right in.
Hi Joey, you have a sassy green man, or is he flirting:) I've never seen one winking like that.
Marnie
What a great place to visit. Your blog I mean. Always such nice images. The green "King" I guess is really something.
Beautiful Joey, I told you it was magical!
Thank you, dear IG ... I am in awe of your lovely compliment. Are you feeling well :)
Love it, Marnie! Yes, he's flirting :) You always get the jest of my posts, dear friend.
Thanks for visiting, Scott. My life resides in between two worlds ... both very different and both grand.
Thanks Eileen ... HL is indeed magical with daily treasures to share. Back tomorrow for more magic!
Ha ha - that's a great garden ornament!!!
And you've got such a lovely potpourri of shots again joey - so enjoyable!
Hi, Rick, and thanks. Glad you enjoyed :)
Ah...beautiful, restful, magical. Wish I were there. Thanks so much for visiting my blog, dearie!
That guy is awesome, Joey! I need one my garden.
Hi, Joey!
Happy [belated] WW! Love that winky garden ornament. Your photos, as always, are delightful.
Thank you, TGHT. A joy connecting :)
Wink, Meredehuit, and happy 'remains of summer' :)
Kate, you are a dear. Always a joy catchin' up with you :)
So beautiful! I have been cruising around all the blue water but haven't had any time to play in it! Lake Leelanau, Torch Lake, Lake MI, Glen Lake etc. they are calling me!
That field of sunflowers is stunning Joey!
Delighted to connect again, Michelle. You are surrounded by 'the best of the best'! Do hope you have time to answer the call. Michigan buddy ((hugs))!
