Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 5:45 p.m. in "The City", where the current temperature under mostly-sunny skies is a very pleasant 57° although it feels like 56° with a slight wind out of the east at seven mph.

We have the possibility of a Frost Advisory in the forecast from the NWS beginning @ 2:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and continuing until 9:00 a.m. There is a possibility of damage to outdoor plants, especially vegetable gardens, for central, south-central southwest, and west MI. 

The sun will rise tomorrow @ 7:41 a.m. and set later @ 7:27 p.m.

We expect a high temperature of 66° tomorrow under sunny skies before we see an overnight low of 44°.

We left the manse today to get our annual influenza vaccinations and to make a short visit to the City Beach of GH for a photo shoot, before returning to the manse for some additional pix. 

Somewhere in there, we finished the indoor chores.

I may have noted this idea before, but as a photographer who works for Olympus once said, "The best camera and lens you have is the one that you have with you." That being said, I had my Olympus E-M10 MkIII digital camera and what Mary refers to as my "Daily Driver" lens a 40 - 150mm non-pro telephoto lens with me.

Although gulls can and do fly, they also walk on the beach. 

Except when they are enjoying a sunny day at the beach. 

As were these folks.

And this young lady.

These condos are adjacent to City Beach and Mary says she'd like to live there. I think it would be like the view from Lake Point Towers in Chicago as you stared out into the frozen lake.

Today was the open house at CGSGH. Tours and rides on CG boats were part of the day's activities. 

These CG boats were very fast on the smooth waters of Lake MI. A good recruiting tool if ever we saw one. 

Mary was on the line that separates GH State Park's beach from City Beach, where dogs are allowed after Labor Day. Can you see the difference?

Two CG boats and a pleasure craft. 

This CG boat sped into the channel on a return run to CGSGH. 

A perennial in our vast gardens along with our Hobbitt door, and part of our vegetable garden.

Mary likes this pic more, as it shows our mum in bloom, and Harry the Hare with several layers of foliage.

Our Eye Candy hibiscus, "Pink" is almost done for the season. We got close to five weeks of blooms.

I put some paint on canvas earlier, but I'm not sure I like how it turned out. But, acrylics are very easy to paint over and get a new look.

Mary has been ear-reading, cross-stitching, and enjoying the rainbows produced by the prisms that we hung in the upstairs window for our 49th anniversary.

We have nothing on tap for tomorrow. More ear and print-reading, a return to the crossword puzzles, and that's about it. I love retirement. Ciao.
