Leaping on the shores of Lake Michigan

When my daughter was three, the first time she visited Lake Michigan and experienced the waves, she took off her clothes and started leaping down the beach. She was in love with the energy of he big lake. On our trip this year we tried to reenact the photo now as a ten year old. Although it is different, it equally expresses her strength and love for the lake.
