An earlier conversation…
A friend asked, “What are you doing?”
My response, “Photographing bees.”
“No, seriously, what are you doing?”
“Photographing bees.”
Off from my porch, I have a Burdock plant in bloom. I know most people wonder why I let the “weed” grows so close to my house. The answer is simple. Photographing bees.
Until next time…peace
“We love the night and its quiet, and there is no night that we love so well as that on which the moon is coffined in clouds.”
― Fitz-James O’Brien, Classic Ghost Stories by Wilkie Collins, M.R. James, Charles Dickens and Others
Happy National Moon Day!
I admit I love photographing the moon. I may not do the best job. But there’s something about being outdoors at night that just connects me to the universe.
Until next time…peace
Spending time outdoors is my favorite summer activity. I do tend to take a lot of photos. I loved watching this little-Painted Turtle sunning himself (or herself) on the rocks today. Do you see the snails off to the side? I didn’t even realize they were in the picture until I put them on my computer.
Until next time…peace

Wishing everyone Summer Solstice Blessings! Today is the perfect tribute to the first day of summer. As evening approaches, the sun is still shining brightly. I admit, being outdoors today was exactly what I needed. Often, the news and other media sources weight heavy on my soul. Spending time among nature reminds me there is beauty in the world.
Until next time…peace
Doesn’t the scene resemble a portal to another world? I imagine stepping through a veil to experience the magical world that surrounds us without our knowledge. Yes, I am writing a story right now. Take time to get off the beaten path, the inspiration may be all you need to start a new chapter.
Until next time…peace
“Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, it’s honoring those who lost their lives.
Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that’s a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve.
It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.” – – Pete Hegseth
Happy Memorial Day!
Until next time…peace
I love unofficial holidays that celebrate nature.
Happy World Turtle Day!!
Until next time…peace
Today is National Love a Tree Day. What can I say, the beauty of trees speak to my soul.
Until next time….peace
A friend recently stated, “why haven’t you been online?” Despite the mosquitoes, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous. Warm sunny days, a slight breeze to the air, cooler nights, and the summer birds returning, why wouldn’t I be outside? Michigan has numerous hiking trails and scenic destinations to enjoy.
Sometimes, being outdoors and unplugging from social networks is the best way to recharge. Personally, I find being outdoors the perfect way to find inspiration for a story, a photo or art project.
So if you get a chance, unplug and go outdoors.
Until next time….peace
