Time to come back: photos from our new home near Walled Lake

The sun sets over Walled Lake March 25, 2016.

A long, long time.

That's roughly when I last updated this page. That can't happen anymore.

Life gets in the way. Moving, family, work. It all gets in the way of spending time doing side work, like updating this blog. It's high time to get back to it. So here we go.

I'll be sure to share trips from months past on it soon, but thought I'd start off with some simple sunset photos near our new home. My wife and I recently moved to Novi, not far from Walled Lake, one of the largest lakes in Oakland County. Living off a lake is new territory for each of us: the closest I've lived to a body of water was the Saginaw River in Bay City, and that was a long time ago. Here, the first thing we noticed was the noticeable increase in wind speed on certain days. It cuts through the trees and is typically faster than our former home in southeast Oakland County. It's like living up north.

I decided to head out and enjoy the sunset last night, taking along my camera and trying to find a way to capture it best.

It's time to spend some more time outdoors. Here's to a happy spring and summer outside. More to come.
