  1. RE: mastodon.social/@livelakemichi

    Not far from where my gramma and grampa J lived in Harbert, Michigan. I’ll get back there at some point and walk along the Lake Michigan beach where I once did with my dad when I was A LOT younger (like, about 50 years younger!)

  2. Hype for the Future 186G: Upper Peninsula of Michigan

    Overview The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is notable for an extremely low population and population density alike, containing only a few communities such as Marquette, Sault Sainte Marie, Saint Ignace, Ironwood, Iron Mountain, Menominee, Houghton, Hancock, Calumet, Escanaba, Manistique, and Kinross that contain any significant base of settlement. Minimal amenities exist within the entirety of the area in the Upper Peninsula of the State of Michigan, though numerous hotels and resorts are […]

    There is something _very_ unusual in the accompanying photo, and once you realize there's a #submarine floating in the channel leading directly to #LakeMichigan, some hundreds of yards away, you might be not be aware that it's actually a #maritime #museum that hosts tours throughout the year.

    The #USS #Silversides (SS-236): is a Gato-Class World War II submarine that is restored to its original running specs and is ready for visitors.

    Sorry - no water tours.

  6. always nice to get back #home after travel!

    (also, Jordan's coming to visit tomorrow, and I'm gonna see about us setting aside some time for editing -- we've got a good collection of recorded #podcast episodes, so hopefully we can return from the woods to resume releases soon!)

  7. There's been a lot of fog and smog since we moved into our new office space, but this morning the water looked great and I love having a view of the Alder Planetarium on its little peninsula.

    “Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Sunrises like this can signal storms approaching from the west (dry air to the east). Since 1906, the Kenosha North Pierhead Lighthouse has helped guide ships safely into harbor.” - Aaron Johnson

  9. Note - #AsianLadyBeetles, another #InvasiveSpecies, actually feeds on Hemlock Woolly Adelgid! A reason to shoo the beetles outside if they are in your house!

    #Maine [and #NewEngland] - Help Track a #Hemlock Pest

    February 26, 2026

    "#HemlockWoollyAdelgid (#HWA) is an #aphid-like invasive insect that feeds on and can kill hemlock trees in Maine. To find HWA, look:

    - On hemlock trees. In North America, HWA is found only on hemlock trees.
    - On the undersides of hemlock twigs. At this time of year, HWA is covered in white tufts of wax and is easy to see. Look for discrete 'woolly' masses.
    At fallen twigs on top of the snow, as this will give you a picture of what is happening high in the crown. Unless you are in an area where HWA is commonly found (such as southern coastal towns), please let us know if you find it.

    Unless you are in an area where HWA is commonly found (such as southern coastal towns), please let us know if you find it. "

    Wikipedia: "Accidentally introduced to North America from Japan, HWA was first found in the eastern United States near Richmond, #Virginia, in 1951. The pest is now found from northern #Georgia to coastal# Maine and southwestern Nova Scotia as well as areas of western #Michigan near the eastern #LakeMichigan shoreline. As of 2015, HWA has affected 90% of the geographic range of #EasternHemlock in North America."

  10. “Lake Michigan, Autumn” — Lake Michigan with autumn clouds, Chicago.

    Last November we visited Chicago for a few days. This was mostly an urban adventure — walking around The Loop, going out to eat, visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, taking in performances of the Chicago Lyric Opera and the Chicago Symphony. But if a natural subject is to be found, I am going to photograph it!…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/02/27/la

  13. Captured in a photo: deep winter vibes (and despite how bright it looks it felt *cold* out there: 0 Fahrenheit with a stiff wind...). From Holland, Michigan: "Sunbreak in White".

  14. Lake Michigan Sunset

    Summer time on the lakes means long days and short nights with some of the best sunsets that can be imagined.
    The winds were calm but blowing enough to put the sail up and cruise around and catch the sunset. This is one of the images I was able to capture.
