Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

Well ... since you asked

I've been pulling a bunch of my Dad's photography together, and got kinda' wrapped up and pulled some of my old stuff out too. Spent a LOT of yesterday looking at negatives.

Here are some of Dad's shots that I have handy:


The road to our cottage circa 1974.


Our dock somewhere in the same timeframe. Boat doesn't have the motor on for some reason.


Sunset off our dock - that's from the 70s too. And it's the view you get from the living room window every night.


One of the local dams. DNR manages these, I believe.

Here are a couple more of his.


This is a covered bridge somewhere in Canada. Mom and I trying to work out where it was. Some train trip they took.


Mystic Seaport, CT sometime in 1972.

And a few of mine digging through some negs:

This is the AuSable River in February near Iargo Springs.


Tahquamenon Falls


An MG outside of the Henry Ford (1986-ish).


When the Admiral was pregnant, we spent a TON of time walking. So, we got a membership at the Detroit Zoo, and walked there. With as often as we walked that place, I got a bunch of fun shots of the animals. Here are a couple good ones of the polar bears:

My dad is a huge photography buff. Thankfully he's spent several years digitizing all his pics, including his slides of his year in Vietnam.

Monday with the fake grandkid. No fish but several hours of a good time.

when we got done in the canoe I let him have some fun on his own

he's had a 'stern' life but that part is gone from his life now so I'm doing everything I can to get him to relax and be a kid (he's 12 now)


Look close:

this is Old Stone Fort state park so we did some trail walking after.

So, if you are not coping well with our current and hopefully short term reality - take a minute to get out and walk with a kid in the woods. It does a soul good. Be well folks.

Nice shots Joe. The waterfall is particularly nice.

Nice pics !
What did you say to get the one finger salute ? LOL !
‘The waterfall area is cool .. I could see myself wading out and standing under the ledge of one ...
‘Water temps probably pretty cold ..

 

[redneck joe]

Yeah so that one of a couple there at old stone and Rutledge is just a few more miles and yes, water temps cold all year long.
