On the ever-changing Muskegon...

A perfect storm...

"Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again. The world is not yet exhausted; let me see something tomorrow which I never saw be." --Samuel Johnson

So, Muskegon, I did make it to the beach today – several times. I first went down to Pere Marquette this morning, and it was – well, to be honest – uninspiring. Gray water ran into gray sky and everything was awash in gray … Nothing wrong with gray; it just wasn’t doing it for me. Made it easier to put in a full day of work…

Early this evening, the world outside where I live was still gray, but I decided to go back to the beach on the way to the store and check it out … And, ahhh, it was back to its stunning otherworldliness. After the store, different (and inspiring) still. A couple hours later … Same different thing. Sunset? Most amazing one yet. There was a reflection of the sun over the sun! The real sun then dipped below the clouds, leaving just its bright shadow … 

On the way back, I noticed the sky was the most breathtaking it’d been, so I had to pull into a random parking lot and get another picture…

I think, Muskegon, what this surprisingly gorgeous day was trying to tell me, and us, is to never stop looking for the change, the beauty that will inspire us … Also, that Skee-Town is darned purty. Check it out below.

See ya at the beach sometime.

A cloud ship...

That's not the sun!

Perfectly swirled pastels...

Moonset.

It just gets better and better...
