	Sylvan Summer


	*Photography*


	From our friend, the business school professor in upstate New York, what summer vacation is supposed to be.


	A long holiday week on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan – just north of Muskegon for those who know the territory – a 19th Century cottage high on a bluff above sand dunes stretching to the community beach below. On an isthmus protecting "White Lake" harbor behind us, with an original - still inhabited - lighthouse at the channel, six houses down the walk. Dog heaven, and as one of the captions reads - "this is why we work..." Some weeks should never end.

			Cottage Living – the flag signifies "In Residence"

		Reflections of cottage life –


	Wildflowers by design – Nothing's accidental


	Stormy leftovers –



		Sylvan view from Sylvan Beach


	Tennis balls in the surf – a dog's dream – "This why we work"


	Water Sport – our Red Lab, Major McGuffin


	His steadfast companion, Pippin


	All we leave behind…
