Vince and Janet's Wedding

It's spring and I look for flowers coming up every day now...crocus.
-Hyacinths.
-As I went downstate I passed the big trout in Kalkaska, and this was National Trout Festival weekend so I had to take a picture. It was from my car (not recommended).
-First on to downtown where Bruce and Jill met up with us.

-Michelle and Peggy.

-The illustrious Heather.

-The man of the evening - Nidal.

-How Bruce really felt about the drink they call "Washington Apples."

-Then on to the wedding the next day. This is the family gathering after the ceremony. Although not everyone, we still have got quite the crowd.
-Janet and Vince in the first dance.

-Mom and Claire in matching colors.
-Billy and Beth.
-Michelle, Jean and me.
-EVERYONE is on the dance floor for the polka in our family.
-Bringing the night in, Beth and Michelle.

Spring in Northern Michigan

Spring seemed to come when I came home...
-Grandma, always, sends Easter treats that she makes homemade for the holiday.
-Moon over Cheboygan.

-A beautiful cresent (waning).

-And a sign of spring...my first crocus bloom!

-A built up streambed that goes under US23.

-The big lakes were even thawing out. These are the pile ups (about 7-8 foot tall) on the shore by the bridge.

-And the boats were running...

-Then the true sign of spring...the last (maybe?) snowfall, over 1/2 foot, on Saturday morning.

-But those snows never last long. Sandy and I went for a walk in the high 40s (downright balmy...) and saw this immature bald eagle!

-Just on the other side was this guy...a bald eagle!

-And nice sunset scene at Gordon Turner park.
