A LOVELY GET-AWAY

I just returned from the most relaxing vacation.  It was everything I hoped and dreamed it would be.  We decided to go camping for our anniversary this year and explore West Michiga’s beautiful coastline along Lake Michigan.  We drove North and visited Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Leelanau (my favorite), Old Mission Penninsula, Traverse City, Leeland among other places.  Everything about it was so peaceful…the campfires at night. The smell of the woods mixed with the lake.  The aqua blue waters stretching as far as the eye can see.  The rustic deserted beaches.  The tall grassy dunes.  The sea gulls calling and skimming the water. The furry little chipmunks getting into our trash.  I just loved every minute of it.  I manged to keep my camera away from my face and just relax- although we did get a few pictures just for memory’s sake.  It’s been quite the shocker going back to work today after that wonderful 4 day hiatus.  I called david at work and said I was having trouble working because I had "vacation brain." 

But nonetheless I’ve been able to get a lot of catching up accomplished today.  I finished editing this session from before our trip- two little kids who I have photographed before and then their 2 older cousins from down south who were visiting them. They were the cutest bunch!  Despite almost getting rained on in the field it all went pretty smoothly.

And then a cute shot of their Grandma and Grandpa who also joined us for the shoot.
