Mama Spider

Posted on by Rebecca C.

I probably spend way too much time photographing spiders, insects, etc. But watching this mama spider was intriguing.

I like the black and white version too.

I believe she is a Wolk Spider. But I am not positive.

What do you think?

Until next time…peace

Lake Superior Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

Today is Lake Superior Day. I am from Michigan. I did not know this day existed. But, I love visiting the shorelines of Lake Superior, especially at White Fish Point.

Rocks from Whitefish Point.

Whitefish Point was one of my mom’s favorite destinations. She loved looking through all the rocks. To me, the place is just beautiful.

Do you have a favorite place to stop on the shores of Lake Superior? Let me know in the comments!

Loading Pineapples

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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.

This is just one of the boxes. There are slides from Rome, Spain, Paris, and much more.

Anyways, the owners were definitely travelers. I cannot wait to go through all the images.

Have a fantastic day!

Until next time…peace

Happy Nature Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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.

Nature’s Beauty in a Cemetery

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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.

Morning Fog

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

Sandhill Cranes in the Morning Fog/Smoke

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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

International Rock Day

Posted on by Rebecca C.

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
