Jean Klock Park is one of the oldest public parks in the state of Michigan and predates the formation of Michigan's state parks, which occurred in the early 1920s. Bordering Lake Michigan in Benton Harbor, Michigan, United States, in 1917, J. N. Klock and his wife, Carrie, bought a significant stretch of lakeshore including tall dunes and 2,950 feet (900 m) of shoreline from E. K. Warren, donor of Warren Dunes State Park, and deeded the land to the city of Benton Harbor. They gave the land in memory of their daughter, Jean, who died in early childhood. The Klock deed stipulates that the property be used for bathing beach, park purposes, or other public purposes.

Nature is in us all shinning our inner lights a little brighter! If feel inspired to capture her essence through the lens, especially from my Lake Michigan surroundings and even from my own country garden landscape. My photography is an expression of nature's endless beauty. If I feel it, I take the shot! I like to add my photographs to informative writings, poetry and stories at http://hubpages.com/@fossillady so please feel free to pay a visit and hopefully be inspired!
