| Fire in the Sky - Omena, Michigan by Sheen Watkins |
I've taken thousands of images trying to reflect the diversity that's commonly known as "Pure Michigan."
With a vivid, intense sunrise glistening over our Great Lakes, it's an easy and energizing way to start the day.
If rising and shining is a bit of a challenge, get a jump start with a rich cup of coffee from Coffee Beanery, one of Michigan's finest businesses operating since 1976. Or it may be the habitat friendly Birds and Beans Coffee or a cup of hot tea with a squeeze of citrus.

| Norhport's Harbor by Sheen Watkins |
From late fall to mid spring, Michigan is infamous for our grey, chilly winters.
For those who live (and photograph) here, we also know that gray is just a temporary state. All you need is an early wake up call to go outside. There...our breakfast may be served sunny-side up with a little fire mixed in.

If red's not your taste, just wait a few minutes. The red shifts to tints of oranges and yellows, adding a hint of warmth to the morning's chill.

| A Door to Sunrise by Sheen Watkins |
With a little local knowledge, you can find many interesting little unique treasures for the sun to peak through.
Some of my favorite spots?
Just head up Michigan's M22 on the east side of the Leelanau Peninsula. Quaint towns of Sutton's Bay and Omena rest on the Grand Traverse Bay's shoreline. Then the veer up onto 201 along Northport's harbor and North Shore drive.
Along the way, savor the moment and let the sun rise to greet you.
Happy Shooting!
