For today's Blue Monday post (where we celebrate all things blue) I am posting some pictures of my hometown of Grand Haven, MI. This week residents are celebrating that wonderful time of year known to all Grand Havenites: the annual Coast Guard Festival.
Perhaps my love of blue was inspired early in my childhood by Lake Michigan- the way the cerulean sky (remember last weeks post!) melds into the blue waters.
I used to spend a lot of time in cottages along the lake- and I still remember how I felt connected to the world just by listening to the methodic sound of the waves hitting the beach. I have tried to recreate the feeling with my "environmental sound" alarm clock- but it isn't the same. I now live on the other side of the "Big M" in Chicago, but deep down I am still a Grand Haven girl. And I will always have a spiritual connection to this place...
