Lake Margerithe (on the way to Mackinac)


Sunrise over Lake Huron (from the balcony of our hotel room in St. Ignace)


The Mackinac Bridge (from the boat ride to the island)


Some people on the boat, just showing how windy and cold it was.


The Grand Hotel (where Somewhere in Time was filmed, and Mackinac businesses will not let you forget it)


the downtown area (still from the boat, obviously)


our hotel room at the Lilac Tree (it damn well better be nice, for $250/night)


out the hotel window


a creepy rabbit pot in some store


lots of cocoons at the butterfly house (we didn't go into the actual greenhouse this time, as they weren't very active)


a dog in a coat


it's not supposed to be cold and rainy at the end of May


back at the butterfly house


i guess my camera doesn't quite focus that close


another butterfly, obviously


several more butterflies


yet another butterfly


not a butterfly, but a duck


view of the water from near the governor's mansion


these people are rich as fuck


another view of the water from our bike trip


trillium and a birch tree


scum under an uprooted tree


more rich people's summer homes


back at the butterfly house the next day


a blue morpho on my dad


if you look closely, you can see all the ones flying around


a blue morpho on my camera case


once again, cold and rainy. (why are they eatin ice cream when it's in the low 40's?)


view from the hotel balcony of downtown.


a big barge (okay, some of these probably don't need captions)


into the woods


St. Ann's cemetery, with flash


St. Ann's Cemetery, w/o flash (i couldn't decide which was better)


a reindeer?


that's kind of creepy


abandon all hope ye who enter here


this is the protestant cemetery across the street. i don't remember the name


view of the artillery range from fort holmes (the highest point on the island)


sure, now it's sunny, on the day we're leaving.


downtown in the warm sun


flowers in someone's yard


leaving the island
