Seney National Wildlife Refuge. October 27, 2025.

Before driving home, I stopped at Seney National Wildlife Refuge which is just two miles north of Germfask Michigan. Seney is one of my favorite places on the planet. The roads that loop through the refuge close after October 20 and they are not open to foot traffic, but you can see two of the ponds from the road to the visitor’s center. I stopped to take this picture of one of them before pointing my car toward home.  From May 15 to October 20 when the roads are open, I highly recommend Seney as a place to visit and take pictures.

As I was walking back toward my car I noticed the shadow of my camera and camera strap in my right hand, so I grabbed my iPhone and took a picture.

So inviting. I am looking forward to coming back when the refuge roads are open.

As I made my way around the north end of Lake Michigan and headed toward Wisconsin, I stopped to grab a photo of the sun over Lake Michigan.
