I absolutely love living near Lake Michigan. Our apartment is right on the lake shore and it is so amazing to see the lake every day.
Living on the edge of a big body of water like this one gives us a spectacular view of the horizon and especially amazing sunrise views (the lake is in the East for us).
One thing I never realized until I saw the lake every day is the incredible array of colors that the waters take on. Some days the lake is one shade of blue, on others it is green or turquoise or brown or some combination of layers of each of these colors. I have never lived in a place that made me stop and take it all in as often as I do here.
I am so glad we made the decision to move to this apartment last year. As Spring and Summer approach, I am getting excited to go outside more often and enjoy our balcony.

I’m glad you get to take the time to enjoy views like that — I am definitely jealous. Funny enough I’ve taken to appreciating the colors of my scenery as well: blues, greens, purples, and pinks.
We love where we live (near a river and a 40 min drive from the ocean), but the one thing we wish is that we were closer to a lake! (I think we might be greedy!) How lucky you are to have such a view. Beautiful photos!
I love the water. I hope to one day live near a lake or ocean. Enjoy the views. Thank you for sharing the pictures. They are beautiful.
