Description

Hello All~! Have you ever stood somewhere and it almost didn't seem real ? This beautiful beach in south west Michigan with clouds that seemed to go on and on forever and waves that were a large as an ocean was one of those days that I will not soon forget !!! This was a Sunday morning on Wako beach where my Mom attends church -her Foursquare church is held in a rented beach clubhouse type place on the sand and close to the water . The pastor is a laid back lake surfer of 40 years- lol he couldn't wait to go surfing after service that day so cut it short!! He kept looking out at the waves and said "after church we are having a board meeting "!!!(-surfboard meeting ) . He was one of the first lake surfers on Lake Mich in the 60's and gave me an interesting book about it. LOL I am from southern California and couldn't believe they surf in the lake ...!!! so that beach church got out and I headed out to where this was captured . I liked the church but admit had a hard time sitting still through church with camera in hand as I stared out the window and saw these amazing clouds and lapping waves that caught my full attention. There was this little tiki umbrella /drink stand far off in front of a beach property that I could barley see that caught my eye . Couldn't wait to go check it out . I climbed up the dunes & walked through tall windswept grasses ,past all the many scattered boats and summer paths and stood here and shot this . Soon a gentle summer storm came though. This was my favorite day and place this summer~! (Sometimes its a challenge to get all you see and feel- captured in bright sunlight light with my little power shot pocket cam... tried to get it as best as I could with the little time I had there with my Mom waiting back at the beach clubhouse ). Played with in paint shop a bit today to draw it out...) When I was standing here I felt like I was in a dream- or had dreamed of it- so titled. Happy Labor Day to those of you who celebrate it - relax and enjoy the day!!! Thanks for all your time and comments !! Love to all!!! ((( BIG HUGS ))) ~ ♥ ~Kimmers ! :O)
