Ahhhh, lilac season in Marquette. Swoon city! What a beautiful sign that summer is here. I’ve been running down the bike path along the lakeshore recently… and always slow my pace down to pass one of these and just take a giant whiff. 😆 But this is one of my favorite times of the year… I mean, fall is forever my favorite, but this is a close second. Just those transitional seasons are the best. Beach vibes and lilacs!? Yes, please.
Read MoreMy favorite spring tradition! 🌷 I love visiting the tulip fields in Holland, Michigan. This is my 16th year taking photos here! It’s just so magical every year. Elliot and I made the stop here on our way down to Illinois for his sister’s college graduation, and I’m so glad we made the trip. We really lucked out with driving right into the parking lot of Windmill Island Gardens and finding a parking spot right near the entrance. We were in and out basically, snapped our photos, helped a few others snap theirs lol, and then hit the road! Next time maybe I’d stick around longer, but not for Tulip Time. 😂
Read MoreOne of my favorite trees to visit when I’m in West Michigan in May! (This is at the Monet Garden little pocket park in downtown Muskegon.) I usually come down every time this year, because the Upper Peninsula is slow to bloom and see spring… but everything is in full bloom downstate! I absolutely love coming to downtown Muskegon. Just… the history! The architecture! Things to do! This little park! It’s truly just such a cool downtown. But yeah, an annual must-see for me is this tree. It’s just so pretty! 🌸
Read MoreTwo winter posts in a weeeeek!? Who is she! I wasn’t actually planning on blogging, but it helps when you have fun winter adventures with your photog boyfriend who is so freaking good at taking photos, so here we are! It was super sunny out yesterday, still in the 20s, but… I knew we had to get out for a little bit to enjoy some winter scenery. So we headed out to Wetmore Landing to take a little walk through the woods and out to Lake Superior! It’s really wonderful to be having a legit winter this year.
Read MoreFifth year… at the 510 Bridge in autumn! I decided to head out here midday, which I never do. I always wait til golden hour, and honestly, it was glorious because nobody was around and I was easily able to take photos and I didn’t miss peak colors! Yayyyy! But yeah, this spot is one of my absolute favorites in autumn, it’s easy to access, nearby parking, you can get views from the top of the new bridge and below on the old bridge, and if you haven’t been before in autumn, you just gotta goooo! 🍂
Read MoreLiving in the Upper Peninsula for five years now (what!), I’m becoming a location repeater, just because… I have my favorite spots up here in different seasons now! This bridge, well not even technically a bridge, but it’s a snowmobile bridge over the Yellow Dog River near Big Bay, but it’s just a vibeeeee! I ventured out here on a weeknight, was racing to make sure I hit that golden hour light, and wore a bit different of an outfit! We finally have some chillier temperatures up here, so I can layer, and I just love autumn style and colors. It’s the best. 🍁
