Weekend: Letting the World Go By
MOTUS A.D. ^ | 10-14-17 | MOTUS

This weekend I will watch no TV, listen to no football and read no news. Instead I’ll watch the chlorophyll challenged trees transitioning to their winter state,

rocks migrating out to sea,

and rivers flowing slowly but inevitably into Lake Michigan.

Maybe I’ll photograph some of the famous barns of Grand Traverse county.Barn near Traverse City

Mostly I’ll just let the world go about it’s business without my participation.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend too.

Like a traditional Jewish Sabbath. No use of electricity or autos. People still walk to visit each other at home without the TV on. People still have physical books to read.

Beautiful pics! I want that house........I would never leave. When I was a kid we vacationed for two weeks every summer at a cottage in Traverse City. It was nestled in the woods & a path led right down to the beach. Great memories........ Sandcastles, going out in the neighbor’s glass bottomboat (those brothers were gorgeous, my summer crush!), eating smoked trout on the beach, looking for petoskey stones.

Thanks for the memories & enjoy your Saturday. Hub will have the Ole Miss game on. Maybe we will actually win ; )

GOD’s beauty is astounding.

The pic of the old barn resembles a fine painted masterpiece.

Beautiful post.

Beautiful pics and wonderful attitude. The Michigan weather appears to be throwing us all a curve this weekend; maybe you can capture some moody scenes of rain on the shore. 😕

I’m originally from Northern Michigan, and Autumn is my absolutely favorite time of the year up North. The pictures were stunning, thanks so much for posting. Made me homesick.

On my bucket list to spend time in that part of the country. Beautiful.
