The #fallcolors have been slow to change in some parts of puremichigan this year🍁🍂so there are still plenty of spots to hit, and some places only show a little color still. This shot is from last weekend near Harbor Springs, there is a pretty big difference between areas near the shore up there, and areas further inland. My suggestion is to get out and explore! sonyalpha #sonya7II sigmaphoto #sigma100400mm

Most folks would agree that finding your first Petoskey stone is a Michigander rite of passage. But do you know exactly what a Petoskey stone is? A fossil! Specifically, a fossil of long-gone Hexagonaria coral. This coral lived in prehistoric Michigan, when waters were warm, shallow, and even tropic! Once the Hexagonaria coral had fossilized into the Petoskey stones we know today, they were plucked from ancient Michigan bedrock by glaciers, and spread all over the state as the glaciers melted and moved.
You can learn even more about our famous state rock in the Petoskey Stone Guide by Dan R. Lynch. Check our website at www.shoppeninsulas.com for a special offer, bundling the field guide and a genuine polished Petoskey stone into one gift! Perfect for out of towners who want to learn more about this fascinating fossil, or Michigan natives who want to up their rock-hunting game. 📸: lindzjoy1188

I’ve decided I’m bringing back #fridayintroductions because sometimes I miss OG-IG-behavior…
I’m Kalin. This account is the b-sides, Behind The Scenes, Finsta, personal side of sweetwaterfloral
I started Sweetwater because I needed a hobby - that was 2015. I started this account because the paralyzing grief of watching your baby on life support needed an outlet - that was 2022.
But it’s this baby! She’s all good now. But damn did she teach me a lot about control. releasing it. not sweating small stuff. And the anatomy of our intestines 🤓
Matt & I started a podcast together this year, because he wanted a podcast but didn’t think he could carry an episode solo (he totally could) so he invited his neverstopstalking, loudestinanyroom wife to be on it with him. Big thanks to all of you who listen!
Before podcasts, babies, businesses, building projects & all that good stuff- I was a TV reporter and had my dream job but started a teeny tiny small business that became my new dream job as it grew and grew!
Thanks for hanging here- a little visual diary of a Prosecco loving, spray tanned mom in her mid thirties who has delusional confidence about pretty much everything + likes early bed times + chocolate chip cookies. 🍪
Happy Friday 😚

Quite the catch. A big, beautiful Petoskey stone wet from last night’s rain. This was actually found in the winter, one of the best times for rock hunting along the empty beaches. Made of fossilized coral, ancient and unique to our little corner of Michigan. #petoskeystone #petoskey #harborsprings #aframe
