I took this photo at a roadside park along M-31 in Petoskey. It’s still pretty early in the season there so the trees and grass haven’t totally greened up yet. But wow is it ever beautiful. More to come!
This was one of those “perfect moment” scenes where I was forced by circumstances to slam on my brakes, throw the car into reverse and get the shot. (FYI mom, there were no other cars around.)
I took this photo of an old, old barn on my mid Michigan road trip. Usually when I’m going somewhere, I just want to blast over there in the straightest, fastest route possible. But, ever since Captain Cutie Pie gave me a Garmon GPS, I try to take some extra time and choose the scenic route on the back roads. Why? It’s more fun and now I know I won’t get lost.
Here’s a great drive that I discovered on my way up North, there’s lots of old barns, and beautiful, beautiful farmland. I highly recommend it. Take a look at this Google map I made special for you, it shows the drive, I stopped about 1/2 way up 66, but you just might want to keep going. And for you guys up north, take the drive down to see us here in lower Michigan! More pics of my trip coming next week.
After a long cold winter, it’s so great to see the sun and beautiful Michigan Sky. I took this photo driving through the mid-Michigan countryside. I will definitely be taking this route next time I go up north. Although I drove for 3 hours, it went by fast because the scenery was so stunningly gorgeous. Way nicer than the highway!
I drove up to Synchronicity in Glen Arbor today to drop of my creative work for the summer season. Typically when I go on a trip, I take the most direct route home on the highway because I am notorious for getting lost. I took the back roads and boy are you all in for a treat. I got some great shots of Mid-Michigan farmland. In one of my coming posts I’ll give you some ideas for a beautiful drive.
I never get tired of the Frederik Meijer Gardens, as I’m sure you can tell if you look at my blog long enough! This is a sculture that you can walk inside and once there, it has water flowing through a steel link screen. It makes you feel kind of off balance when you look at it.
Spring has sprung and the proof is in the flowers and warm sunny days we’ve been having. I’m soooo looking forward to the coming days when I can wake up in the morning, walk outside and feel the warm ground under my bare feet.
When I went to the Butterfly exhibit at Frederik Meijer Gardens, it made me think of how wonderful children are and how important it is to take them to events like this. The children were absolutely delighted with the butterflies and it was as much fun watching their responses to all the awesome butterflies as it was to see the main attraction.
What kind of a Michigan blog would I have if I neglected to cover the Butterflies are Blooming exhibit at the Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids? This week you’ll be seeing more butterfly pics that I took here.
The sky was so beautiful I had to go out and play with my camera. After patiently (and curiously) waiting for me to complete my picture taking, this sweet and beautiful horse was rewarded with a nice hay din-din.
