it's not life that matters but the journey...

I've been taking lots of photos, but not sharing them. so finally here's some pics for you to enjoy (hopefully)! Just click on the thumbnail to see the bigger picture...

First, of our trip last week to Whiting, Indiana (Whihala Beach), where my husband was able to catch some amazing waves. Here's proof that it is possible to surf on Lake Michigan (though my pics are not so great, and he looks so small):








Here's some shots of the surroundings - notice the lovely BP Oil Refinery right next to one of the surfing spots - lovely!










M in his surfing gear:






some of the seagulls that were waiting for crumbs from my sandwich:






and finally, some art (well it's really just a guitar in the sand):






Going back several weeks, here's some more shots from a previous trip to New Buffalo, MI:

first, some of the lake surfers who won the "paddling contest":






more seagulls hamming it up:








and finally, a shot that I wish I had taken of M surfing in Michigan (it was actually taken by someone and posted on the surf shop's website):





next post will be pics of my cat, for for now, I leave you with "the surfing cat":
