no alligators...this time

When I first went jogging around Tobico Marsh, last spring, it reminded me a lot of jogging around Payne's Prairie outside of Gainesville. But this is Michigan, not Florida, and despite the reeds and duckweed I had to remind myself that there were no alligators to mess with.

This morning, Tobico marsh looked nothing like Florida.

I even skied there for this shadow portrait.
