Beautiful Lake Michigan! I have been working on this map of Lake Michigan that is a gift for a lake lover in Michigan. I've been to Lake Michigan a few times, mostly near Chicago. I always get that feeling that I'm near a sea. See more maps at LeoLakes.com. 


This map is interesting! I can tell that the morning sun is shining on the lake. If you look closely, you find other intersting things...Makes a great holiday gift!


As you may or may not know, I do cartoons. Most of my toons are lake, river or bay based.  Here's some of my favs.

Paddle over to my website, LeoLakes.com. I paint beautiful lake, river and bay decor maps. Also, I do custom maps



Folks are discovering that these decor maps are wonderfully unique gifts that become family heirlooms. I call my maps, treasured maps because most folks have that special body of water that they treasure. My treasured maps make a great gift for the fisherman, lake lover, or Lake house. LeoLakes.com

When a hurricane comes a shore

 It has been about a month since I have posted on Leo Lakes, why? Well, It has a lot to do with Hurricane Ian that hit Florida. We have a small place in Englewood Florida and it was damaged. Luckily, we didn't have catastrophic damage, but the park that we are in took some pretty high winds. The hurricane passed right over, with winds over 110 mph. 


We have been down, repairing the damage, cleaning up and helping others. Here is a few photos that I took that shows the extent of the damage.







Interestingly, we had a piece of metal come thur the wall of our place. it knocked a clock off the wall and the batteries fell out. The time was 4:26 pm. 

It is a sad situation because some folks live there full time and completely lost their home. I can't imagine the distruction in Ft Mryers, Sanibel Island etc...
