Please come in… 3 Weeks Later, photo by Craig – S

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Today The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens. It really has nothing at all to do with Michigan, but it’s arguably the most powerful fairy tale of the modern era and also my personal favorite tale, both Tolkein’s books and Peter Jackson’s masterful films. So Happy Hobbit Day everyone, and may you find what you’re looking for and the good things you are not!

Craig took this photo at Margaret McIntire’s Boardwalk Cottage on Mackinac Island. Check it out as big as Smaug and see more including another view of this door in his Mackinaw – Mackinac Island slideshow. If it catches your fancy, you can buy a print from Craig too!
