Because it's summer...

Ok. So this really has nothing to do with reading or writing or researching. This is simply because I wanted to try posting something...and because summer is on my mind. Summer is really a rare and enchanting thing, isn't it? We're all heavy with sun and full of strawberries. Have any of you been to Pickerel Lake? It's about a 30 minute drive from Ann Arbor, and is just the most beautiful place. All of the dragonflies go there. Last Saturday, some friends and I bought giant heirloom tomatoes from the market, basil, and fresh bread, and made a picnic of bruschetta, lemonade, snow peas (yeeaaaa), and plums, and made our way to the lake. Can we make a HSF outing of it?

Enjoy these shots of summer:

  1. Summer is an enchanting time. I love strolling campus on a beautiful day, during the golden hour, or late in the eve. And getting out of town is amazingly refreshing. Let's make this happen.

  2. I would strongly endorse a trip to Pickerel Lake. It's the only lake in Pinckney or Waterloo recreation area with no houses around it and no powerboats using it. For those of you who didn't get enough camping yet this summer, it's also close to the Crooked Lake rustic campground. Here's the map:

    If you go out on a weekday, you're quite likely to have the place to yourselves...
