Get out and enjoy the snow before it all melts, go sledding! Here’s the other side of the hill at Richmond Hills Park in Grand Rapids, MI. And, a couple more great sledding places in Grand Rapids, with google map links so you can get there quicker: The hill at Union High School; and Lookout Hill at Belknap Park. Where do you like to go sledding? My readers would love to hear your comments, the last sledding post was incredibly popular, seems like a lot of people are looking for this.

Happy New Year! When I woke up to a fresh blanket of snow, I knew what I had to do today. I blasted off to my favorite sledding spots to take some pictures. This is a picture of kids lining up on the hill at Richmond Hills Park on Grand Rapids’ northwest side, it’s great place to go sledding with a long, sloping hill, beautiful woods and a pond at the bottom of the hill. Here’s a google map link to the park.
I was looking for the “perfect” winter scene today and saw this old barn. It’s near Warren Townsend Park in Belmont. I love the simplicity and serenity of the farm.
If you love barn shots, check out some other favorites that I’ve taken here.
I hope you all have a most excellent holiday season! I’m eagerly anticipating taking lots of pictures for my blog over the next week during time off from my job, hopefully the weather will cooperate. I took ths photo earlier in downtown Grand Rapids.
I also wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has visited MichiganSweetSpot, especially those who have shared it with their friends and made comments. I truly appreciate your interest and read every single comment.
I took this the other day in downtown Grand Rapids as the sun was starting to set. Everything took on this surreal orangy, pinky glow.
Sorry but I just can’t help it! I was thinking of the warm sunny evening I took this, just as the sun was going down (that’s the bright light through the trees.) This is where I took the picture along the Grand River. Over the Christmas Holiday I plan on getting out there and taking some new winter shots, so be looking for them, they will be here soon!
It’s cold but at least the sun is shining! This is the perfect time of the year to find a nice trail and go cross country skiing in the woods with your dog… or friend… or someone fun. Boy is Michigan beautiful when it snows!
I love the new Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM). It’s big, modern and full of provoking, inspirational art. There’s much more about the museum online at their website, I hope you’ll check it out.
Christmas in Michigan, it’s a beautiful place to be. I took this in downtown Grand Rapids near the new art museum and bbbrrrrrrrrrr was it ever cold!
This cute little rooster was strutting around Lubbers farm like he was king of the hill. Attitude is everything.
