Hi John. I'm a trans-planted Michigander (onto California soil) I see your lighthouse photos a lot. A friend posts them on his Facebook page. I wanted to tell you how beautiful they are and that so many of them look like paintings. You give them a certain quality, a certain light that mimics paintings. (I hope this isn't an insult to photographers) I'm a Big Red former neighbor, but that one isn't my favorite. It's your Point Betsie lighthouses that blow me away. And I never knew what happens to St. Joseph lighthouse in the winter. We always lived in Grand Rapids during the school year. It is a dancing ice-fairy - or maybe a cake with intricate frosting. Anyway, I love your photos of it frozen. I'm happy for you that you are so successful. As an amateur-photographer myself, I know the joy that comes with creating a masterpiece. I hope you continue until you are 99 years old. (At 100 years old, we get to put down our loads)
