The rail yard south of the Muskegon River has a wonderfully intense spotlight that illuminates the tracks. It isn’t on every morning, but when it is, it makes for a really interesting walk.

Here are a couple from this morning on Muskegon Lake – as well as Susie’s lovely gift for hosting the West Michigan Herb Society Potluck on Tuesday.
This morning at Muskegon’s Heritage Landing
Mostly from this morning’s roundabout route to the farmers market via the old railroad bridge on the north branch of the Muskegon River.

Morning at MHS
This morning at Muskegon High School
What was supposed to be a cold, clear morning became increasingly cloudy on the walk to the river.
And then, while heading back to Muskegon…the first snowflakes of the year!
From yesterday’s walk on Muskegon’s Lakeshore Bike Trail.
On Monday, an early start and the extra miles were supposed to mean a sunrise over the Muskegon River from the old railroad bridge near the Causeway.
The walk couldn’t have been nicer, but the grand plan went astray when clouds moved in just as the sun was scheduled to make its entrance.
What a shame to have to try again next week.
So, imagine that you’re out with the family enjoying one of the nicest autumn mornings ever. Is it even in the realm of possibility to drive past this sign if anyone in the car is younger than eight?

Mostly Macleay
From the Forest Park Trail near Portland’s Macleay Park and back downtown.

Another bike trail
This is where the “Mostly” becomes pertinent…
These are from this morning’s walk along Willamette to the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge.
These are from the same part of Muskegon Lake as a week ago. This morning’s light fog and odd clouds gave the lake a completely different look. The fourth picture really shows off the framing of the high clouds.

Muskegon Gazebo
The ceiling of the gazebo across from the Amazon Building in downtown Muskegon.
Not to be outdone by the drama of the cloudy sunrise over the river, these flowers rallied with their own morning show.

Hunting Hiatus
Chris’ last swim at the state park until the spring. The hunting season starts tomorrow and the combination of bullets and alcohol will make other venues much more inviting.
