Forest views filling in with 2024 leaves Near the Aman Park trail head, this view off the bluff down to the Sand Creek offers long views when the tree branches are bare during late fall, winter, and early spring. But now the green is returning quickly. In another week of mild temperatures, occasional rain, and longer days, the view will turn into a wall of green.

Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates (MSRA) is a non-profit organization based in Holland, MI, dedicated to the discovery, documentation, and preservation of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes region. Founded in 2001, MSRA is comprised of a team of volunteers with diverse backgrounds, including maritime historians, archaeologists, divers, and technology experts.

MSRA conducts extensive research on the history of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, using archival records, maps, and other historical sources to identify potential shipwreck sites. Once a site is identified, the team uses advanced technology, such as side-scan sonar and remotely operated vehicles, to survey and document the wreck.

In addition to documenting shipwrecks, MSRA also works to preserve them for future generations. The organization partners with government agencies and other non-profit organizations to advocate for the protection of underwater cultural resources and to provide public education on the importance of preserving the region's maritime heritage.

MSRA has made significant contributions to the field of underwater archaeology and maritime history, including the discovery and documentation of several historically significant shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, such as the steamship Eber Ward and the schooner Metropolis. The organization's work has been featured in numerous publications and media outlets, and its members have received national recognition for their contributions to the field of maritime archaeology.

Maple, maple, maple ready to burst into flower then leaf The paved walking path that connects the neighboring Ottawa County parks (Grand River park here and Grand Ravines park 3/4 mile ahead) shines after the showers of early spring snow in this view toward the west. The bank of maples forms a continuous wall of verticals gilded by the afternoon sun along one side and backed by shadow on the opposite side, producing an amplified 3-D impression in the flat surface of the photo.
