Mobile blogging, how fun! This is shot I took with my outdated iPhone while on my run this afternoon. And by run I mean a too brisk jog that winded me more quickly than it should have and resulted in a nice walk.
Once a week I am lucky enough to run with my friend Suzanne. She is one of my very favorite people and expressed that she’d like to one day run. She had never run a whole mile in all her years (won’t say how many of them there are but she doesn’t look a day over 40) but recently she realized that dream! About two months later and she is up to 2 miles!
She’s always enjoyed our time together, as have I, but the running itself was boring and in circles around the Traverse City Civic Center. Then one day my sister decided to scope out the Boardman trail near the library- and fell in love.
She made me chase her ass on a four mile run and then I fell in love too. So I brought Suzanne. Since she’s only up to 2 miles we parked at one end and left a car, then drove to the start. And then she fell in love. She said she never imaged running could be flowers, birds, swans, lapping water and sunshine. But that is exactly what it is here.
Being a portrait photographer in Traverse City, I’m always on the lookout for the next great location. Along this two mile stretch there are brick walls, broken stone steps leading to the river, wooden walkways and bridges, gazebos and more trees than you could hope for!
Now that I’ve discovered this nifty little place I want to explore for more.
And now you have a brief little moment from my run, I hope you enjoyed it.

After a Summer of crazy heat, dripping sweat and a few rescheduled photo shoots because the temperature was nearly 100, suddenly all the sizzle fizzles out and we have a quick cool down. Such a strange summer. But with the cool weather will come the beautiful fall colors which are really perfect for cozy warm family photos. The colors around here are brilliant in the fall!
