In July of 2023 we took a trip to Michigan to visit friends. On the way back home, we had made plans to visit one of our favorite places, Saugatuck, Michigan.
Very near Saugatuck is the town of Douglas. Both lie in very close proximity to Lake Michigan. We wanted to see if we could get some good sunset pictures, so, we decided to drive the short distance to Douglas. Never having gone there to find the beach, it turned out to be quite a trial-and-error adventure. Much of the property along the beach in Douglas is privately owned and inaccessible but after some searching we did find a small stretch of beach that was open to the public. We parked the car on the heights and took the well-maintained wooded steps down to the beach. There were a couple places built on the short decent, like decks with benches, where you could sit and enjoy the view.
Sitting on one of the decks I got this view of the sun peeking through the tree and reflecting on the water as it began its final trip of that day toward the horizon.
Other pictures taken that day that you will find in our Etsy Shop are Flowers – Untitled #99 and Landscape – Untitled #110.
