This year, the fireworks in Leland will be on Friday, July 3, at Van’s Beach in Leland. It doesn’t get any better than sitting on the shore of Lake Michigan with family and friends to enjoy a small town fireworks display over our great Lake Michigan.  So for those of you who won’t be able to be here in person, I found this video online showing the 2008 fireworks on youtube. These are by Ken Scott Photography

Here we go again. Like I said, sunsets have been incredible this season. Looking out over Lake Michigan in Good Harbor Bay. This is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

I am constantly amazed when I hear comments about our sunset and seeing that people plan their evening around watching a Lake Michigan sunset  Living where we do, it is really easy to take some of the area beauty for granted.  This past spring season, and now into summer, we have  had some of the most spectacular sunsets that I remember.  I have been finding myself planning my evening around the sunset, too.  They really have been something you don’t want to miss.  I am so lucky – these are some of the sunset views I have had from my top deck, looking out over Lake Michigan.
