Sunset Leaves Digital Collage

I felt like playing around with some Digital Collages today and wanted to work with one of my sunset photos. So I decided to work with one of my Saugatuck Sunset photos to create something new. This Sunset Leaves Digital Collage is the result of my digital play time today.

Seems to have an Autumn feel to it, even though it's Spring. :) But I really like it.

Saugatuck Sunset

On our trip to Saugatuck, Michigan, we were able to take a sunset cruise on the lovely Star of Saugatuck, an authentic steamwheeler.  It was one of my all time favorite trips that the Hubs and I have ever taken. There's a saying, "it's not about the number of breaths we take...but the moments that take our breath away." This sunset cruise was one of those moments, and I'll never forget it.

The first photo was taken just as we were leaving the Kalamazoo River out into Lake Michigan. The second photo was taken moments later, once we were fully on the lake. That sunset was magnificent!

Saugatuck Ducks

Saugatuck, Michigan is an absolutely wonderful little town near the shores of Lake Michigan....what they call the "Art Coast of Michigan."  It is full, and I do mean full, of art, galleries, gift shoppes, harbor-side bed and breakfasts, and wonderful little cafes and eateries. And if you like dune rides, then Saugatuck is a must-visit destination spot if you're near that part of Michigan.

The Hubs and I got a room and in an amazing bed and breakfast called Bentley Suites (highly recommended!). Our B&B was right on Kalamazoo Harbor. On our very first day there, we walked the boardwalk and were greeted by these Saugatuck Ducks. Yes, folks, if there are ducks around, I will find them and photograph them! This was the first of many photos I took that weekend.

Lake Michigan Shore

This photo is of the shore of Lake Michigan, taken on a trip to Saugatuck with the Hubs for an anniversary weekend. I took this to remind me what I'd love to see when looking outside my back door (or front door, as the case may be) on a daily basis. If only that were possible. I never get tired of looking at the sand and surf.
