 Words to describe my hometown of Onekama would almost invariably include "quaint", "picturesque" and "peaceful". As shown in the following photos, Onekama really lives up to these descriptions.fileId:3096224744270226;size:inter;fileId:3096224744270225;size:inter;

One of my favorite spots to stop. Linebacks features mostly Traverse City wine varieties.

These flowers line the streets of town, and really beautify it.

Wild peas, which I think have such a pretty flower.

Posting this essay again reminds me of how lucky I was to grow up in such a place.

I go back to my hometown (which after our move is only 25 miles from here) and get depressed. My old town is ugly, and has empty buildings and is just sad. How lucky you are that yours still makes you feel good. I love your picture essays.

You are so lucky to live in a town who loves flowers. These are all so pretty.

Love Traverse city also love Leland MI. My hometown is where I live now, Lakewood, OH city of trees on the shores of Lake Erie and on the banks of the Rocky River.

I agree about TC and Leland. Northern Mich rocks!

At least you're still on one of the lakes, Sharon!
