There has been a surge of people seeking condos in downtown Grand Rapids and it’s easy to see why when you spend some time in one of them. A lot of the condos have rooftop common areas where residents can enjoy the cityscape like I did on this warm summer night.
Here’s the crowd at Snoop Dog’s concert at Rothbury, I don’t know how many people were here, but it was a lot. I can’t say enough good things about Rothbury, even though there is a big crowd, they are managing it very, very well. I’ll be posting lots more photos of Rothbury but it’s late so nighty night I’ll show you some more tomorrow. If you are thinking of going there, it’s not too late there’s plenty more going on Saturday and Sunday. Here’s a link to the Rothbury website.
The schizzle was with the fizzle at Rothbury today. Here’s Snoop Dog just before he hit the stage and blew the house down.
As a yoga lover, I’ve always been fascinated with lotus flowers. This year I finally built a lotus bog and here’s my the first bloom.
By the way, thanks everyone who came out to see me at the Reed’s Lake Fine Art Show today in East Grand Rapids. It was a great show and I was honored to be included with all the wonderful artists there.
I thought I’d stop by Oval Beach on the way to the Saugatuck Waterfont Film Festival and saw this weather front blowing in over Lake Michigan. Even though it started raining, I still had a great time, always do in Saugatuck.
Rachle Finan of the Super Happy Funtime Burlesque performed a fire dance tonight at the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center Avenue for the Arts event. I’d never seen a fire dance before, it was really interesting, especially with Rachle. She has a lot of energy and enthusiasm… my son calls her “Sexy Pochahontas.”
Doesn’t he look like he thinks he’s the king of the world? This beauty of a peacock was running around at Apols. They have an awesome selection of water gardening supplies there. The best around.
If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you know by now that I have a thingy about Michigan’s drama clouds and Leslie Tassel Park so imagine my joy when I happened on this scene at Leslie Tassel Park in Cascade today.
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.
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.
