There’s beautiful farmland everywhere you look in the Sayles Avenue area of Lowell. Here’s a photo I took last week at one of the farms in that area. Soon I’ll show you a photo I took of an old barn from the Civil War era on the same road.
Yesterday was awesomely everything that comes when you KNOW spring is in the air. You can see it, feel it and smell it. So, I went driving around in Michigan’s farmland and took a bunch of pictures right before sunset. I took this one on a horse farm and this gal just couldn’t figure out what I was up to. I think her name was Emily, she wanted look at my camera… close up. I’ve never been around horses much, but I really like them.
For those of you who love scenic farmland and barn shots, I’ve got a bunch coming up this week.
This little piggy was snoozing away at Lubbers farm. It just gave me one of those “I’d prefer not to be disturbed looks” and then went back to sleep.
I took this during the heart of one of our winter storms this year. My intention was to drive around and take lots of pretty snow pictures but quickly got over that idea when I realized I’d be stuck in a ditch in no time.

What a beautiful winter night. I took this near the Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids of the National City Building.
I’ve had a few requests for a picture of the ice shelves that line the rivers around this time of the year. I took this shot in Ada by the Grand River in a swampy area. There’s a whole field of these things over here, check out my google map link, turn down Shady Drive and the Ice Shelves are on the left (at least until they melt which will hopefully be soon!)
I took this in Muskegon at the Pere Marquette Park. Even though it felt desolate here, it was beautiful in an awe inspiring way.

It’s February and Michigan, which makes it the perfect time to go ice skating. Tonight I went to Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids (Happy Birthday Noah!) and what a blast it was. Yep, it was cold but the music that was piped in over the loud speakers and the fun of watching all the people made me totally forget the cold.
The cost is just $1 for admission and don’t worry if you don’t own ice skates, with an I.D., you can borrow some for free! Hours of operation are Monday – Thursday, 6:00-9:30pm; Fridays 6:00 – 10:00PM ; Saturdays noon – 10:00 pm and Sundays 2:00 – 9:30 pm. Here’s a google map link to help get you there.
I realize there are a lot of incredible places in this world. But, I must say I am constantly awed by how beautiful it is here in Michigan. I took this looking out a window as the sun was setting in Ada.
All winter long I’ve been waiting for the right moment to catch the sun shining through the trees, casting long winter shadows on the glittering snow. This weekend I finally got it, I think this is one of my favorite winter shots.
