For those of you familiar with Greenville’s recent past, you may be surprised at what I found when I got the grand tour from their City Manager, George Bosanic. I wondered if I’d find a place struggling to get by with the exodus of their largest employer, Electrolux.

Instead, it is very clear that Greenville is an up and coming community that is “making lemonade out of lemons.” They are well on their way to completing ambitious plans to make it an even more wonderful place to live with the best of history, modern urban planning and the type of lifestyle a city with three lakes and a river running through it affords.

The picture you see here was taken on a road that winds along the edge of Baldwin Lake. I took it near Baldwin Beach, which is being renovated. Here’s a Google map link to the approximate area I took this photo. I’ll be posting pictures all week of the special places I found here.

Annie, you’ve got to go take some pictures on 100th Street.” I finally listened to my mom and this is the result. I took this on a little side road off 100th Street in the Caledonia/Byron Center area. It’s a beautiful area to drive around. Thanks, Ma!

Okay, so technically this isn’t really called Lilly Pad Park, but it should be. I took this picture in a little park off the beaten path in Whitehall. There is a long boardwalk that goes into this field of lilly pads and cattails, it is near Funnel Field.

One of the advantages to living in Michigan is ponds, streams, rivers and lakes everywhere. And with that comes one of my favorite creatures, frogs. I found this little guy in my pond.
