The photo titled, “Loading Pineapples in Hawaii” is part of a new lot. I recently won 3 boxes of negatives, slides, old films, and miscellaneous equipment from a local online auction. All came from the same owner. I was actually disappointed with myself for not bidding on the other lots.
Anyways, the owners were definitely travelers. I cannot wait to go through all the images.
Have a fantastic day!
Until next time…peace
Yes, I am one of those crazy people who loves photographing nature. I could spend hours photographing one insect, especially butterflies, wild animals, and everything in between. lol
Have a great day everyone!
Until next time…peace
Today is Nature Day. I find peace in nature. The fact they are designating an entire day to nature is amazing. I hope others find nature as soothing as I do.
I could spend hours watching and photographing all types of nature. Every aspect of nature intrigues me.
Do you have a favorite spot to watch nature? Let me know.
Until next time…peace
I was out and about the other day. Technically, I was searching for bears. Yes, bears. There have been reports of bears in the area. In fact, one gentleman I chatted with informed me that there are actually about 40 in our county. I am going to have to do some research to verify the information.
When I was riding around, I did not come across any bears to photograph (don’t worry, I have a nice long lens to photograph a bear). However, I did discover this beautiful bee’s nest in a cemetery. I have never seen a bee’s nest attached to a cemetery stone before. I really enjoyed photographing the nest.
Nature’s beauty always fascinates me.
Until next time…peace.
We had a foggy start to our holiday weekend here in the mid-Michigan area today. The sun, shining through the morning fog, gave a yellowish tint to the landscape.
Personally, I found the effect beautiful. I cannot believe September is here already. The upcoming autumn season is my favorite time of the year.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Labor Day weekend.
Until next time…peace
At the end of June, the Canadian Wildfires pushed smoke downward through our area. One of the mornings had light fog as well. The result was an eerie effect on the mid-Michigan landscape. I took numerous photos, but I liked this one the best.
While the smoke/fog combination creates a thick layer, the Sandhill Cranes are grazing in a local field. I am both fascinated and heartbroken by the wildfire smoke reaching our area.
My curious side wants to know all about the effects of the Canadian wildfires on areas so far away. But the part of me that loves wildlife and nature weeps for the damage. Yet, I know Mother Earth will continue to heal and provide.
Until next time…peace
Did you know today, July 13th is International Rock Day? I love searching for rocks! I am always picking up interesting or brightly colored rocks. In fact, if you were to look at my dashboard in my car, I have a line of small rocks or stones on the ledge. I really can’t resist, a pretty rock.
In Michigan, one of my favorite places to search for rocks is Whitefish Point. The miles shoreline of Lake Superior produces beautiful, polished-looking rocks. If you are ever up that way, stop and spend time searching for the perfect rock for your collection.
Happy International Rock Day!
Until next time…peace always
Let’s take a moment to honor those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
The flag in the photo is on a work site. They are putting windmills up in my area. I snapped this image on a weekend.
Until next time….peace
Today, May 23rd is World Turtle Day. I love watching the turtles soaking up the sun.
When I spot them on the logs, I can’t help but smile. Often I see all different sizes on one log or swimming in shallow ponds.
Some I just spot in the grass.
Each turtle is a little different. I think that is why I love them so much.
Happy World Turtle Day!
Until next time…peace
As many of you know, today, March 20, 2023 is the first day of spring. But, today is also World Frog Day.
I love frogs. I mean they eat bugs. But I also love listening to them late at night. Of course, right now in mid-Michigan we are still experiencing cold, snowy weather. Today, the wind is making everything feel extra cold.
Hopefully, soon I can open up the windows to listen to the frogs singing all night.
Until next time… peace
