Fossilized coral or Michigan’s state stone?🤔
.
The Petoskey Stone has been the state stone since 1965 and is a fossilized coral commonly found in Michigan’s northern lower peninsula. The name Petoskey comes from an Ottawa Indian Chief named Pet-O-Saga meaning sunbeams of promise🙌🏻

Continuing along on my week of posting some of the most dramatic golfscapes I’ve played and photographed over the past couple years we come to the beautiful Links/Quarry Course at Bay Harbor Golf Club in Petoskey, Michigan.
The flagship of the boyne.golf Northern Michigan empire, Links/Quarry grabs you immediately at the clubhouse, then bombards your visual senses throughout the front 9 with 5 holes played alongside the cliffs above Little Traverse Bay.
The Quarry 9 then meanders out into a quarry that features stark changes in elevation, beautiful water hazards and a lot of really creative Arthur Hills design before finishing with two more jaw-dropping holes along the lake, including the fabulous par 3 17th and tumultuous downhill par 4 18th.
What a setting. What a clubhouse. What a departure from the norm of everything I’d ever seen of Arthur Hills’ golf course architecture. We were all blown away by the Bay Harbor golf experience (and Petoskey is a really cool summer beach town, too!), and it got me to thinking:
HOW IS THIS COURSE NOT RANKED HIGHER ON NATIONAL TOP 100 PUBLIC LISTS?
Northern Michigan has its own version of quiet luxury — the towns where wealthy buyers escape for long weekends, holiday breaks, and year-round lakefront living. These are the places that define high-end Up North real estate… even in the winter.
Which one matches the lifestyle you want most? 👇

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 love this quote from the Tao Te Ching.
-
Remember, energy comes to us in stillness with breath. So does health and healing…
-
If you are constantly in motion, stressed out, and in 6th gear then you WILL burn out faster.
-
Take care of yourself this season. Take care of your tribe.
-
Breathe and relax with each other.
-
Slow down and savor the most important presents which is your “presence” with each other. -

Dreaming of spending time in Michigan's magical Hemingway country this summer. I missed last summer after years of annual pilgrimages. Not this year! The stuff of bookish dreams ...
This is my all-time Hemingway quote. Isn't it lovely?

Speaking of hidden gems 💎 ....... On our recent trip to Petoskey State Park, I had wanted to go out to Harbor Point and the Little Traverse Lighthouse and do some exploring. We took the short drive to Harbor Springs, and as we got to this peninsula, we were told that the whole thing is private property. ☹️☹️. So we found a nice spot in the harbor and let my drone do its thing 🔥🔥.
We were stunned to have a very special group of readers come by the store for a visit today! Vice Presidential candidate timwalz his wife Gwen, & daughter Hope stopped by the store to peruse our shelves.
Tim talked with Matt about some of his favorite reads which included Andy Weir’s “Project Hail Mary,” and Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Children of Time.” And in return, Matt suggested he pick up “Recursion” by Blake Crouch and Reilly shared her passion for “Red Rising” by Pierce Brown!
Hope found our vinyl section and picked up “Dope Lemon” and TSwift’s “1989.”
Thank you to the Walz family for taking the time to come by the store and making this a moment we will never forget. It was an honor to meet ALL of you!
PS: Of course it was Taylor’s Version and yes, Governor Walz is reading True Gretch! 😉

Thousands of residents are still without power after the ice storm hit over two weeks ago, March 28th-30th.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been and are still being affected.
Thank you to all of the utility workers who continue to work around the clock to restore power.
Pray for Michigan 🙏🏼💙

When the rain stops and the clouds break…making way for the sun to cast its light on this mystical early fall scene along M-31’s northernmost stretch of shoreline…while a rainbow spans beautifully across the sky and as if that couldn’t already be perfect enough, a sailboat cruises into the scene! Here is another random (from the backlogs a plenty!😉), a magical early October 2022 scene! As with so many others….this image got buried and never shared because I forgot I even had it amidst my 1,000 of backlogs (😂), so here ya go and I hope you all enjoy this stunning Petoskey area scene as much as I enjoyed capturing it! 💙🌈⛵️#puremichigan #sailboats #rainbow #m31 #petoskey #mynorth #fall #water #michiganders #northernmichigan #petoskeyareavisitorbureau #earth_shotz #dofaddicts #nautical #nauticalart

Hello from the other side of Lake Michigan! I’ve been doing some *serious* vacation reading up here and I started and finished THE SILENT PATIENT yesterday. 👀📖 Thrillers are my jam when I’m lounging on the beach or in a cabin and lots of people recommended this one on my thriller post a few weeks back. I serendipitously found it in a Little Free Library a few days ago! •
•
Review-wise, i though it was entertaining but I didn’t love it. To me, it was a forgettable thriller, even though the concept is very intriguing. The twist was delivered in a kinda meh way and the plot requires some suspension of disbelief around the law and around certain characters behaviors. However, I know a lot of you love this book, so let’s chat about it! 👇🏼👇🏼
•
💭 do any of you also like to read thrillers on vacation?💭
What a beautiful home to watch directv in. 📡📡🙄🤦♀️🙄
Snow in April makes me judge-y.

Home. 💕 Fresh water. Sweatshirt and shorts (my favorite). The corner of the world you tuck in your heart that forever whispers softly to you... no matter where you go. And echoes enormous peace. Where’s yours? #puremichigan #petoskey #bayview #gratitude
