Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. We've returned from our walkabout with the fur-children and it is just past 5:15 p.m. in "The City."

We have a current temperature of 52° that feels like 46° with winds blowing out of the south @ 22 mph. Tonight, we can expect rain with a 100% probability, coupled with cloudy and windy conditions. However, it was a great afternoon for a walkabout and a picture taking session at the Lake Forest Cemetery. 

The winds were brisk, and STWD had bad memories of hearing gunshots on a previous visit, so I had to coax her to stay out of the car. 

We still have a Gale Warning in effect until 1:00 a.m. tomorrow, with winds of 20 -30 knots and waves from seven to 10 feet. I'll add some pix later that I took at the Grand Haven State Park on our return trip.

There will be a Winter Weather Advisory going into effect @ 4:00 a.m. tomorrow, for Allegan, Muskegon, Oceana, Ottawa, and Van Buren counties. The forecast calls for snow accumulations of up to nine inches for communities east and south of GH. We may have a white Christmas, but it should be manageable. However, for those who must travel, driving conditions will be hazardous for both ends of the daily commute.

The sun will rise tomorrow @ 8:14 a.m. and set later tomorrow evening @ 5:14 p.m.

As I noted, we took that walkabout and I got some great pix of various markers, the flora, and the fauna. 

I just realized that this marker is for the Fischer family of Bowen and Fishcher Motors in Muskegon. They are a used Jeep dealer now, but at some point in the past, they sold Studebakers, which explains the Avanti on the back side and the Studebaker on the front side. 

The back side.

Andrew has a devoted family and "followers."

"

I don't have an explanation, but these were left on a grave. 

Like I said, flora.

A close up of the same flora.

Just because.

Clouds and sun over the treetops.

It was getting darker as we were departing. 

The aforementioned fauna.

We drove past the state park on the way home, and Mary pointed out the sun as it peeked through the clouds over Lake Michigan as dusk approached. So, I switched my camera over to the sunset mode to take some pix there.

No explanation necessary. Just enjoy.

The waves were crashing on the beach.

I need to work on my settings, but still interesting. 

The color variations are beautiful.

Tomorrow, we plan to stay inside and out of the weather. Ginger may get groomed, or not. I have a book to finish entitled Dynamic Aging, written by Katy Bowman with the goal of improving everyone's quality of life. So far, so good.

Otherwise, we have no plans set in stone and that's as it should be. Ciao.
