South of Bellevue, Michigan. Michigan Audubon's annual CraneFest is next weekend . During October, Big Marsh Lake is one of the premier places for watching Sandhill Cranes. Around sunset thousands of cranes gather at this lake. Taken from the Kiwanis Youth Area a couple years ago. No cranes in this picture, but some time ago I posted another view which hints at the event's beauty.

Southwest Michigan's Alex Jamieson swings and misses at a pitch by Lansing's Jordan Timm to end the game, the season, and the Midwest League's Battle Creek franchise. The franchise will move to Midland over the winter, where I wish them all sorts of luck. I'll transfer my loyalties to Lansing's Lugnuts, I imagine, and likely I'll request the seat I took this photo from. But it won't be the same. Original version of this photograph here .

Cedar Rapids manager (& third base coach) Bobby Magallanes chats with baserunner Brad Coon. Meantime, Southwest Michigan pitching coach R.C. Lichtenstein confers with pitcher Wade Davis, catcher Matt Spring, and first baseman Ryan Bethel about the situation. Lightly shopped; the original's here . 3rd inning at C.O. Brown Stadium in Battle Creek, Michigan. I took a couple hundred photographs last night and have posted them on the MWLguide photo stream .
