Hastings, Michigan.

The wall of Grand Ledge, Michigan's, Cancun Restaurant.

Big Sable Point lighthouse, Ludington.

The Roxand Township fire station's door, with an appropriate memorial.

Downtown Portland, Michigan.

Windows above The Pub in downtown Portland, Michigan. Continuing my photographic exploration of the Kent Street business district.... I've shown you these windows before, by the way.

Downtown Grand Ledge. This building houses Ledges Craft Lane, an outlet for local artists.

Go there for the food. But the atmosphere's quite remarkable.

The old Traverse City Asylum--now called The Village at Grand Traverse Commons--is a fascinating place. Building 50 was the main building, a massive structure that's being reclaimed for housing and businesses. The basement's just full of little shops.

Think this was originally the parsonage at Mulliken Methodist Church. Regardless, I like the way the sun highlights the textures....

This is CCD Engineering's facility in Mulliken, Michigan, taken the (snowy) Saturday after Thanksgiving. The building housed Merrifield Hardware when I moved to town. CCD rebuilt the place a few years back, but the essential "brickiness" of the building's unchanged. And presumably what they wanted.

A flower a day for January .... Seems like an excellent day for daffodils.

On the wall of Hamlin Square Coffee Shop, Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Despite the (relatively) balmy weather, no one was sitting outside this morning. Including me. By the way, that's all that remains of the sign. But I was first attracted by the multicolored bricks.

The back entrance to Cugino's Restaurant in Grand Ledge.

Strange School's a still-operating one room school at the corner of Strange Highway and Oneida Road, south of Grand Ledge. The school's building was built and opened in 1879; Eaton County District No. 3 was originally created in the 1830s. This has been Eaton County's only one room school since Loucks School (near Mulliken) closed in June of 2002. There's a centennial history of the school on the school's website . Can't say I recommend it. ========== John and George Strange were among the first settlers in Oneida Township; they first explored the area and purchased land in 1836, though they'd not immediately move to that land. Daniel Strange, John's son, wrote the quite readable Pioneer History of Eaton County which was published by the Eaton County Pioneer and Historical Society in 1923. This history I do recommend . ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 32 Title of " roll :" Strange School Other photos taken on 7/5/2012: none--unless you count a couple videos of an unexpectedly heavy rain.

Here's the building across Bridge from the IOOF temple. Obviously there used to be a sign.... ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . 366 Snaps project discussion for June 12 .
