Eight years ago Joan had the week off from work. She'd completed her shopping and other pre-Christmas chores, so she suggested we spend a few days at the DoubleTree in Port Huron. So we did.
This is the December image for the 2022 calendar I made for family and friends. As reflections go, this picture's a bit weak, but it turns out I've taken few reflective photos in December. Also: This is not quite as sharp as I like to get things; hand held in poor light will do that to you.
I like the photo anyway, so here it is. Enjoy!

M/V Walter J. McCarthy, Jr, heading toward Lake Huron under the Blue Water Bridges early yesterday afternoon.
When I published a photo of Indiana Harbor a few months ago I remarked that the American Steamship freighters all look "pretty much alike"--still true, as you can see by comparing the photographs. It's still a thrill to see these big ships on the water, particularly when they're lightly loaded and seem more like a portable wall than a vessel. This boat is Indiana Harbor's twin, though their normal cargoes differ somewhat.
By the way, it isn't always grey in Port Huron, but the town does seem to have its own private weather much of the time.

Another photo from our July 3 visit to Port Huron. Perhaps the best day of the year.

Here's another photo I'd forgot I'd taken. Joan and I often find our way to Port Huron on Independence Day weekend; this was one of those trips.
