Sebewa, Michigan.

Near Mulliken, Michigan. File this one under "Sometimes you point the camera and get lucky."

On the telephone pole in our front yard. Wasn't so long ago that linesmen used spiked boots to climb these poles; I suspect this is damage from such an occasion. Nowadays they use cherry pickers to reach the lines. Can't say I blame 'em.

At Maple River State Game Area, north of St. Johns, Michigan. The bridge spans a ditch between two dikes. A very different view, here .

It sags. Just a little. Bennett family farm, St. Johns, Michigan.

My brother had a noonish Doctor appointment a year ago. I left in mid-morning and just kind of wandered the backroads. I had a sort-of specific idea for a photo--I'll discuss that momentarily--but mostly I just wanted to take photographs in random places. Hickory Corners is a little burgh near Gull Lake, famous mostly for a car museum . I've photographed this building before; it looked better six years ago . Oh, by the way, this doctor appointment was key to addressing some of my brother's health problems. A good day on that front, though it would be some weeks before that became clear. ========== My photo idea, such as it was, was "Get something in Prairieville." Prairieville's like no town I know--everything's arrayed along the town's main street, with no side streets. Well, more accurately, I know a number of "towns" like this, but none of the others have names. Prairieville's near Delton, and over the years I've been through a few times. I had a vague memory of what the place looked like but those were unspecific, and I certainly no particular photographic intention. So I looked, found the old store I used for the 366 Snaps pic, then took a couple shots in town and a few more nearby. Here's an 1895 map of Prairieville . It really hasn't changed much. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
