I enjoy the Great Lakes, small lakes, abundant nature, back roads, small towns, big cities, and sports that our unique state has. I like to share pictures of interesting things I see beyond where the pavement ends. I appreciate when others post pictures or thoughts of the cool moments they experience in every day life.

Last Notes npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…u57d for some reason I immediately thought of this Generation X album cover from my youth with a young Billy Idol. All coming at the camera with the same sense of purpose and same white background as your cat photo. https://cdn.toad.social/media_attachments/files/116/321/077/923/385/056/original/a525b6e137a2245b.jpeg npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: Every year since the glaciers receded from Michigan leaving behind the kettle lakes and vernal pools in this state park the Spring Peepers perform their very vocal mating ritual leading to a new generation of their lineage. It is SO loud and primal and is a privilege to experience. Turn up the sound to hear this crazy chorus of life. #nature #photography https://cdn.toad.social/media_attachments/files/116/320/903/432/513/292/original/ebe2f4632b806ca8.mp4 npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: First gravel bike ride of the year #photography #Cycling #nature https://cdn.toad.social/media_attachments/files/116/320/525/854/441/122/original/f6e696a9ae5a04f8.jpeg npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…jpzy Thanks, I had never seen that one.

It must be large because it has multiple entrances 8 feet apart. Each year a different animal occupies it, usually to raise young. We have had groundhogs (who probably built it originally). One year we had foxes. This year we have been seeing a skunk slink around so maybe we will get baby skunks. #photography #nature #wildlife https://cdn.toad.social/media_attachments/files/116/114/742/616/009/840/original/9ab904a1b91a1f07.jpeg npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: Snow on the peach buds.

We watched the big air finals last night and it was surreal seeing people in a blinding snowstorm at night doing amazing acrobatics way up in the air. npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…6gxq wow, I really like this photo npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: Just hanging out and watching Super Kitties https://cdn.toad.social/media_attachments/files/116/043/775/316/081/382/original/8472e6f6163a0c91.jpeg npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…tufx it was ok. It locked its gaze on me while I was watching, but the second I looked away they took off without me seeing. npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…dyu0 another viral embroidery in the making? npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: Weather update: still cold, windy, and covered in snow npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…6gxq I’ll bet Summer was pleased with herself for finding one of the greatest sticks of all time! npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…aed8 I love knowing all you other weirdos have also been watching this same bone fly for days waiting for this jump-cut! npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…az0m Thanks!

I’m sure you’ll find the snow rake in the spring 😀 npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…y58a how deep is it now? Our snow is probably only 16 inches, but every day we get a little bit more. npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: Even though he’s been gone for almost 30 years, my siblings, mother, and I wish each other a “Happy Frozen Ear Day” via text chain on this day. It’s a way to remember his great sense of humor and his way of telling an entertaining story. Happy Frozen Ear Day (4/4) npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: When he finally got to the army office, the doctor diagnosed him with frost-bitten ears and told him to go home and get healed up and report back in a month when he was healthy. So my dad bundled up and walked several miles back home (up-hill both ways) on the coldest day in history in those parts. (3/x) npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…8g36 what a great photo! The part of Lake Michigan I visit only gets these kinds of pile-ups every few years and it is always surreal to be out and experience a field of temporary ice mountains towering over you. npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: Has anyone checked on Fort Knox lately? npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…7493 I need to bogart that one npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…n6l5 I know, he is a click-hound npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…6gxq Yes, it does! npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…az0m @nprofile…cvxd This is great to see and I’m happy this one was created and took off. npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: I’m traveling for work today and maybe I’m imagining it, but people seem to be making a point to be more aware of each other and be kinder. Maybe I’m imagining it, but maybe not. npub1z5m9hlkcu7h2hs5wcwg9fnpunjg9995l58fwvuehsk2cxnlndgnqh28lwy Michigander :toad: @nprofile…uk8k Thanks!
