We always hate to see the end of summer...but the clouds of autumn take a lot of the sting out of it.

Blue Moon Over Manitou
They say we won't see another blue moon till the year 2018. It's quite a sight--and lots of folks were out enjoying it. This is the view from the Treasure Island flag pole.

Stormy Weather on Manitou
A week ago, we had a couple of storms pass by. I thought it made for interesting lighting. The big old barnlike building is the local Elks Club. They seem a little conflicted on color scheme right now--but everyone around here is used to the old girl. It started out as a private club and then foundered during the depression. It has a neat little golf course on the shore side. The course was constructed when hickory shafts were the club shaft of choice and a good drive was 200 yards. That means it is quite short by today's standards--but it is a fun place to sharpen your game. The rates are low and the course is seldom crowded.

A Treasure Island Summer Bouquet
We have the fewest blooms going right now. Seems to be a lull in mid-summer. In a couple of weeks the hibiscus will take over the island. Right now, just a few pretties are about.

First Fish of the Season
We've been slow to get to the "kicking back" phase this year. Seems like we've been running in circles getting the island back after a particularly harsh winter. This seems to have been the first day when Treasure Island could actually be considered a vacation place. Cookie's leisure time was well rewarded, as you can see above.
