During these cold, snow-covered days, it’s nice to look through vacation photos and remember that the sun will shine in Michigan again soon.

If you visit Pictured Rocks make sure you stop at Miner’s Castle. We didn’t think too much of Miner’s Falls but this stop was one of the highlights of the trip. We will return.

The tidal pools at Black Rocks are teeming with plant life, and tadpoles. Please be kind to them all.

The tadpoles were put back after the kids who owned this bucket were done studying them.
