Today’s photo of a cherry orchard near near Paw Paw from February will hopefully remind those of us tempted to complain about the heat of other things we could complain about.

I’d also like to call attention to Van Buren County, Michigan our latest Michigan shoreline county article on Absolute Michigan.

Nikki says An old wooden fence always looks it’s best in autumn.  This photo is also in the Little Traverse Bay Coop, a small group showing off the beauty of the Little Traverse Bay region.

On the group’s home page there are a few facts about the Bay:

  • At approximately 45 square miles, Little Traverse Bay is Lake Michigan’s fourth largest bay.
  • The Bay is about 3.5 miles wide between Petoskey and Harbor Springs
  • The Bay is 8 miles wide at its outer end (between Nine Mile Point on the south and Seven Mile Point on the north)
  • Between Petoskey and Harbor Springs it reaches a depth of about 170 feet.
  • The outer bay drops to depths of more than 200 feet.
  • Home of the “Million Dollar Sunset”.
