View at the Halladay-Blackhurst-Chowning (HBC) Nature Preserve

The view is not terribly exciting, but I liked the blue sky and clouds. Be sure to click on this to view it on black -- it looks much better.

This was taken in the afternoon on a chilly December day, no snow yet that winter, but it was nice that there was still lots of sunshine and blue sky.

This is the HBC Preserve (Halladay-Blackhurst-Chowning Nature Preserve). Said their Web site (at one time)... “a rolling, forested, and grassland preserve where bear and other wildlife now roam.” It’s a very pleasant trail through a mostly pine forest with gentle hills. That whole area SE of Traverse City is rich with forests, lakes, creeks, lakes, and the Boardman River.

Southeast of Mayfield (which is a ways south of Traverse City, MI) on Voice Road near Summit City Road.
