South Haven

This is the view of Lake Michigan a block down from where I stayed in South Haven. I can't begin to tell you how great it felt to be near a large body of water. I've always loved being near water but even I was surprised by the feeling of renewal I got from it. I nearly missed the retreat because I wanted to stay on the beach all day!
I loved the little tilted fences!

On Saturday morning we went to the local farmer's market for color inspiration. It was about 50 degrees and clear.

 On Sunday morning we took a walk in the woods for more inspiration.

 Cool covered bridge.

I loved this wooden path on the beach.

Boardwalk with lighthouse.

And finally, one last walk down to the water in the morning before I left. It was a perfect weekend weather-wise and such a relief from the Texas heat. The morning I left was cold and rainy but it was still gorgeous to me.

I'm not much of a photographer or you'd see how beautiful the sunsets were or all the rocks near the water where I spent a lot of time. I didn't get pictures of my retreat-mates or our projects but others did a better job at that than I did. Hopefully, Heather will post her photos because they're "book-worthy". Did you know that she took the photos in her book?
