Took a short ride to Lake Michigan yesterday. Driving to the channel and stopping at the beach. There was a very light rain, not enough to wet a whistle, but rain still. It has been really dry here. Last year we had water everywhere. This year it has been a cold slow spring. The advantage is that the flowers that do appear last a lot longer than usual. But, yesterday, as were leaving the beach we noticed a very beautiful surprise.
To the south was a fantastic rainbow, large and colorful. To get a better view of it we drove to Snug Harbor Park (a boat ramp, fishing and picnic area with access to Muskegon Lake and the dunes) to find the view was perfect and the colors were fantastic. This area is great place to catch a view of swans and cranes, as the marshy area by the Devil's Kitchen offers them safety and security. (temperature changes create a smoky fog here many times throughout the year thus the name)

Swans at the end of the rainbow. I count about 30-40 here lately.
