Big Thoughts Pond

This is the first edition of what I hope becomes a Friday afternoon tradition – a few thoughts about the past week. I guess we shall see how faithful I am to this particular mission!

This past week we worked with Publicis Life Brands in NYC for a client of theirs. Always fun to work with folks from a distance! I also did a lot more research on the Great Lakes Project, The Sweetwater Seas, and planned to go to Sleeping Bear Dunes in June to shoot the Piping Plover who are down to 59 breeding pairs in the Midwest, with only 5000 birds worldwide. The nest at Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore in the spring/summer months and are being protected by the National Park Service and US Fish & Wildlife arm of the DNR. A great story about how we can make a difference in protecting our lakes and the species who live along them. I learned though that there are no campground spots available until late August 2014! And I thought I could just run up there and find a place to camp…working on an alternative!

And in my small environment the pond, known as Big Thoughts Pond is back up and running this year and stocked with new goldfish! All were lost over the winter, some 20 years old. Start of a new time…

Cheers,

Richard
