Weathering February with Summer Memories | The Lodge on Film | August 2020 | Petoskey, MI

At the end of December, before the dark days of winter began to set in, I opened an email with my first film scans from our summer trip to truly one of my favorite places on Earth: The Lodge, nestled on the outskirts of downtown Petsokey, MI, has been an anticipated temporary summer dwelling place for as long as I can remember.

Especially needed in 2020 were it’s morning coffees on the porch, breeze of the lake on your face and hair, splashing of children in the water, and quiet treks onto the dock at night for a look at the stars. The same glimpse of glory on Earth it brings swiftly brought comfort to me when I opened these film scans on December 28th. I hope they pass even a small smattering of that experience to you during these winter months.

In truth and love,

Bethany
