Photo Friday: Sparty & Bo Pumpkins by sage_82
To say that sage_82 (Mark Ratliff) is a master of the art of pumpkin carving is a huge understatement. His 2006 tribute to Michigan football legend Bo Schembechler and his 2007 Sparty are simply incredible.

800 photographers and a Photo Friday: At Miller Hill by whatever264

Photo Friday: McLain Lighthouse (Close up) by useful fiction

Photo Friday: Dazing by Becca
It seems like not too long ago that I was marveling about the Absolute Michigan group on Flickr - where we get most of the photos we use here - passing 600 members and not too much longer back that we were excited to see the 500th member.

I think if you check out her photos from the Upper Peninsula: Summer 2006 (where this photo hails from), Sleeping Bear, everyday life, or…
