Pretty Red Flower

I've allowed our backyard to "overgrow" a bit in order for the new grass seed we have tossed out there to take root.

One of my Very Best Reflection Photos!

I can't even remember where we were when we happened along this magnificent scene. This lake was a fairly large lake, but the moisture in the air in combination with the angle of the sun gave some utterly astonishing colors with the clouds reflecting on the water. Check it out!

Foxy! He Think We Can't See Him!

We ran across this young fox who was looking across to the other shore at something and then realized we were there. He ducked down and froze. We did the same and after about three minutes of 'Freeze tag,' he slinked away. Picture ONE Picture TWO Sign in to see full entry.

The Northern Lights At Christmas Michigan During the Perseids

This is another "honeymoon era" photo taken almost exactly two years ago. We were staying near Munising, but I knew there was a nice beach over a few miles just outside of Christmas, Michigan.

A Spring Day Along Superior

This was taken on a late March afternoon. The winter had been one of the coldest in a decade, with over thirty-five nights of temps of -20 or colder. This left the big lake a bit icy! Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Fall Near Au Train Michigan

Au Train is west of Munising, and is literally, "just across the street" from Lake Superior on M-28, the main thoroughfare from Sault St. Marie to Marquette. This was taken in the fall of 2021 as we realized our time in the UP was winding down. This scene is one I will always remember! Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Lake Marquette In The Spring At Sunset

I love Florida and all of its beauty, but I dearly miss the vibrant sunrise/sunset colors as you will see in this photo from the spring of 2020. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

I used to love fishing, but after being shot in the stomach in 1974, damaging my intestines and other organs, I got so I couldn't eat fish and certain other foods.
