One view of the Sleeping Bear Dunes above beautiful Lake Michigan. We hiked up and over these high dunes (whew!) to get to the shore to see the endangered Piping Plovers. Michigan, June 2019
Taking a breather while climbing the steep dunes at Sleeping Bear Dunes park, I noticed the graceful lines of of the dune grasses. I liked this one with its shadow on the sand. Michigan, June 2019
This was one of 3 young Piping Plovers seen and photographed at the Lake Michigan shoreline at Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore park. They are so tiny and cute, zipping along the sandy beach, with "mom" trying to corral them for safety. This chick was probably about 2 inches high. Michigan, June, 2019
