Here, in 10 pictures, is a worldwind tour of our visit to Mackinac Island.

Many, many more pictures to come. Enjoy these while you wait. And to encourage a little site participation, whichever of these photos gets the most comments will be turned into a Free Friday desktop.

We’re back from vacation, and can I just say it’s so good to be home. We had a wonderful, absolutely amazing in countless ways trip (you can read all about it in installments at my wife’s site, or wait a little while for my account of the trip in photos), but it was long. I missed my cat. And I missed my house (and my own bed). And I really missed cooking (and thus knowing exactly what was in my food and not having to face a plate that held at least twice as much food as I should be eating in one sitting).

I’ve spent much time over the past two days sorting out the nearly 600 photos I took. I’ll get them narrowed down to a half-dozen or so then post them over the next couple of weeks. I’ll try to get the first batch, a sampler, up tomorrow. But for now, here is this week’s Mystery Monday photo.

No guesses from my co-vacationees, please. It wouldn’t be fair.

Last week’s mystery photo was one of my old brake pads, from my old mini-van. My dad “taught” me how to change them (by doing it himself with me watching), and then, understanding dad that he is, didn’t even look at me funny when I asked if I could keep the old ones. They made for some fabulous abstracts and texture shots.

Until later…

Tomorrow morning, very early, we’ll be flying home. So I’ll be back for real on Monday with a new Mystery Monday photo and tales of Michigan.
