Île d’Orléans | Quebec, QC
The historic Île d’Orléans is located in the St. Lawrence river, within view of Quebec City. Visitors can experience traditional French countryside, regional cuisine, historic sites, and local homemade goods. Some of the things you’ll need to try when visiting: local wine, fruits and vegetables, honey, maple products, and dairy products. The views are also spectacular!

Snoopy’s | Corpus Christi, TX
These pictures show the route my dog and I would take along the shoreline for morning walks. According to my dog, there is no better place to poop than on the shoreline (I always pick it up, of course). The one hazy looking picture is of a Spanish style house off of a main shoreline street. This is architecturally an interesting home, but I like this picture because it shows the heavy haze of fog seen most mornings. There is also […]

USS Lexington | Corpus Christi, TX
The Corpus Christi Bay houses a number of attractions. These pictures were taken while visiting the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium. You can swim in the bay, but you’ll see far more fishers than swimmers. It goes without saying that Texas is hot in the summers, but Corpus is unbelievably hot and humid. The original photos had such a haze that the color was grayish. The colors have been adjusted a bit, perhaps too much. Anyhow, I hope […]

The Boys Are Back in Town | Manistee, MI
I have many great memories of good people and good times. The quiet times were also enjoyable; many peaceful strolls along the beach and even a little bit of swimming. I can’t tell you how nice it is to swim in a large body of water without worrying about critters. The Great Lakes are grrreat!

Mackinac Island Mainland | Mackinac Island, MI
I truly regret not getting more photos of the homes and buildings on this island. I was having too much fun I guess. This is one of the most beautiful getaways I’ve ever been on. Most travel is done by bike, buggy, or foot, which means a lot of exercise and outdoor time. The historic element is amazing. It is as if the town is preserved in time, a pristine reflection of the Victorian era.

Mackinac Island Shoreline | Mackinac Island, MI
This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. There is so much history and beauty to behold. The time it takes to fully explore requires more than a typical weekend stay. Most of these pictures were captured while bicycling around the island, which is what most visitors do since not too many cars are transported over.

St. Ignace Lighthouse | St. Ignace, MI
Michigan gets more beautiful the further north you go. St. Ignace is one of those northern towns. It has many beautiful attractions and is a primary port for ferries transporting people to and from Mackinac Island. This set of pictures was taken at the docks near the St. Ignace Lighthouse.
