All of a sudden it was August and we realized my only free weekend was quickly approaching; everyone needed a break and it was obvious that even just sitting at home wouldn't feel so restful (because we decided to move in the middle of wedding season... and we have a one year old... thus there is an endless amount of settling in to be done). So in five days my sweet husband found the perfect cottage on the beach of Lake Michigan -- we kissed our little baby goodbye and headed North for three wonderful, peaceful, lovely days of sitting and cooking and falling asleep to the sounds of the lake.
I took my Canon 1v and an old Voigtlander that a dear friend gave me which was a blast to shoot with -- I've still got a bit of practice to do estimating distances/focus but loved the results.
We'll see you again soon, Lake Michigan.
