💯… MIhappy place. This view… it’s stunning. It leaves me in awe every time.
I awakened in the middle of the night and am struggling to get back to sleep. So I’m going to think of this beautiful view - one of my most favorites in the world, and take some deep yogi breaths and ruminate on the sound of the waves, the fresh air, the warm sand, the wind, etc.
Favorite views??? Where are they? Comment below ⬇️ 👇🏻
Good night 😴

Ready for Halloween down there❓ 🎃
#Repost esa_earth ・・・ The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over the Leelanau Peninsula on the northwest coast of Northern Michigan, US. The region's rolling hills and large inland lakes shaped by glaciers around 20 000 years ago form the basis for great farmland. The body of water that surrounds the peninsula is Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes of North America and the only one located entirely within the US.
The bright turquoise in the water shows sediments, algae and chlorophyll in the shallower waters along the shore. The greener colours visible in Lake Leelanau to the north, Platte Lake to the west, and several inland bodies of water are due to a combination of a high chlorophyll and plant content.
The Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore extend for around 55 km along the coast of the peninsula, and is visible in light brown. •

Midweek moment of zen from the big lake 🌊
📍Traverse City, Michigan is a dream for someone living in a landlocked state to be able to drive just a few hours and get your fill of lake time.
Here are my TC recommendations:
(𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 for when you visit!)
🚲 DO:
- Definitely get outdoors on your trip to Traverse City. We took a bike, kayak, and brewery tour with kayakbikebrew all the way around downtown TC.
- Next, we checked out the Leelanau Peninsula on our bike and winery tour with theoriginalgtbiketours and it was really fun! The bike trails were really peaceful.
- Play sand volleyball in Clinch Park.
- Watch sunsets at Sunset Park Beach.
- Play arcade games at thecoinslottc.
🍷DRINK:
- On the brewery tour, we visited: rightbrainbrewery and they had SO many options so I recommend the 6 beer flight to sample. We also visited rarebirdbrewpub and silversprucebrewing and both were delicious.
- During the wine and bike tour, we started in Suttons Bay and saw 3 different wineries (you could choose to visit more as well): shadylanecellars, Mawby mibubbly, and blackstarfarms. Then, we stopped to grab a beer at hoplotbrewingco, which was a really nice outdoor space.
🌮 EAT:
- For a nice dinner, Amical (amical_tc), Red Ginger (redginger_tc), Poppycocks (poppycockstc), and taproot_cider_house.
- For a casual bite thelittlefleet for an outdoor space with a few food vendors.
- During our wine tour, we stopped at a small cheese shop and it was so delicious leelanaucheese.
- For dessert, we had cherry pie at gtpie, and ice cream at both moomersicecream and milkandhoneytc.
🎣 SEE:
- Explore Fish Town in the Leelanau Peninsula. It's a small fishing village full of locals. We ate at restaurant called The Cove which had an incredible smoked whitefish dip!
- Obviously, check out the nearby Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes (sleepingbearnps) and hike to Pyramid Point. You may want to download some offline Google maps for this area, as we didn't have very good service.
These were the best things we did during our 3 days, but if you’ve been to TC or live there, let us know what you think is a can’t-miss 👇

Isn’t this a cool photo? My mom is the best! This is from paintgrandtraverse and is one of my favorite paintings from the trip. Growing up, my friends and I often played in the forest beside the house. It makes me so happy to be surrounded by trees, listening to the sounds, and breathing in the fresh air. This was a unique path that lead to the turquoise waters of Lake Michigan. Check out my latest blog post, (link is in my stories).

Some 7,300 trees would need to be removed to construct a planned, 4.25-mile extension of the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail through vulnerable and protected ecosystems near Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Leelanau County, an independent analysis found.
Even some supporters of the overall trail question "Segment 9," a $14.5 million extension proposed by the National Park Service and Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation Trails Inc., known as TART. It would extend the existing 22 miles of trail along Lake Michigan near Sleeping Bear Dunes from Bohemian Road to Good Harbor Trail, a nonmotorized trail connection providing access to the bay at the northern boundary of the national lakeshore.
Opponents of the plan say alternatives along existing roadways would be far less intrusive, noting the proposal traverses sensitive wilderness and wetland areas and critical dunes.

My full blog post from Traverse City is up... with the most amazing scenic drive, Sleeping Bear Dunes, two lighthouses, along with all the places I ate & drank. What's your favorite place in the TC area?

Life is generally healthiest in Northwest Michigan and outside Detroit, in Livingston, Washtenaw and Oakland counties, according to a new data-heavy analysis by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Seven of the top 10 ranked counties from the report are found in those two regions, with Leelanau County finishing No. 1 overall for the fifth consecutive year. Wayne County, the state’s most-populated county, was ranked last.
The report calculates the rankings based on a combination of two broad categories – health outcomes and health factors – calculated through a collection of secondary categories. Each of those secondary categories are an aggregation of more than 50 third-tier subcategories.

This is one of my favorite photos. I had Peterson Park all to myself, and I enjoyed the lapping waves and peaceful rock picking. You’d never guess a half hour later the sky was dark and ominous and I was running to the car! 😁⛈ (photo taken 2017)
Blue is definitely our color. 💙📷 | ninehundredsouth #leelanaucounty
Dunes and Caribbean blue water... what more could one ask for? 😍

another northern michigan summer is in the books, and somehow this one was even better than the last ☀️ chaotic kayak trips, movie nights on the vcr, consuming a near dangerous amount of lake trout and lots of iced coffee, spending our paychecks at the traverse city antique stores, learning web design, beating our high scores in pinball, outrunning an enraged swan on a jet ski, running into tim allen, picking fresh fruit whenever we could, late night ice cream runs, and many, many hikes to the top of sugarloaf made for a summer i’ll treasure forever 🤍

loafers for life ✌🏻
