Here... or There... Hmmm
Ok, Susie posted her's twice to show the lovely changing season, so I must post mine! Took these last week Sunday when it was so lovely outside. I walk down by Lake Michigan and back. This day I also went to the Silversides Museum, which is not normally open when we walk at night!

This is what I saw the second I walked out the door!!!

Amigo (my neighbors cat) sleeping in the nice warm sunshine!

My area is a very historical site and this is a marker that is up at the end of my road going down to the lake.
Side one:


Side two:


Buster Keaton actually lived probably a door down from where I live now! So cool!!

This is a view down the road. You can almost see the lake from here... Are you getting excited???

And the long awaited beach!

This is the sign for Pere Marquette Park. This is right on the beach of Lake Michigan.

This is a picture of the South Breakwater Lighthouse from the sidewalk.

You can see because of the lateness in the season they have started putting up the fences to help with the beach sand going over the road. Gets really bad when this windy season kicks in high gear!!

This is a photo of the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory Lake Michigan Field Station. This was where the Coast Guard was but they moved out local guys out and down the lake!


Here is another picture of the South Breakwater Lighthouse though from the end of the South Pier Lighthouse Pier.


And here is the South Pier Lighthouse I just mentioned!


We're not done yet, more to come!

Walking down the pier to continue the walk and I turned around to catch this neat site.


Here is a nice picture of the U.S.S. Silversides. It is the most famous WWII submarine. They even used her for parts in the film Below.


One last shot of the lake before I turn down the road.



And a little later we hit my street and at the end you will see Muskegon Lake.


And this is what I had to look forward to when I got home!

She sure does look light in natural light!


That's my walk. How did you guys feel? Don't you feel better after that 2 1/2 mile walk? Well longer cuz I normally don't go out the piers when we normally walk this which is at about 9pm after I get out of work!!!

Hope you all enjoyed it! How'd I do Susie?

What a lovely walk! That must be so nice to live near the beach. Mind you, you guys must get heaps of snow in the winter!
I would've totally woken up mister Amigo there.
He looks so toasty and content.
