Slowly but surely we in Michigan have been seeing more of the sun lately. As we inch our way toward summer, the sun thaws our frozen ground to make way for spring flowers and gives us a few more hours of much-needed daylight after months of winter gloom. In honor of the glorious sun, we found these Michigan sunrises particularly inspiring.
