Summer Guest

The summer days are dwindling and I have not had a chance to share photos of our summer guest. Unlike my favorite fawns that I hope never leave, I have actually thought (ok, maybe hoped) he would move on at some point. He’s very sensitive to any noise and difficult to photograph, but throughout the…

Two Views Of The 2018 Woodward Dream Cruise

“Did you see that Tri Power Pontiac?” Nope, can you believe I saw Elvis!!! “Did you see that Trans Am?” Nope, did you see the Back To The Future car? “Did you see that amazing GTO?” Nope, did you see the Ice Cream Man? “Don’t tell me you missed seeing that unbelievable Firebird?” I must…

The Week In Seven Photos

It was our annual week of cruising Woodward Avenue during the evenings leading up to the Woodward Dream Cruise tomorrow. All of these photos were taken last weekend while kayaking where I was enjoying a morning of solitude in preparation for a week of fabulous classic cars and crowds of people. While the event is loved by…

The Week In Seven Photos

It was a week of hanging out with younger generations and marveling at their youthful enthusiasm and attitudes. There are so many differences between the generations and my nieces and I have made an arrangement that I do not make too many cracks about the Millennial Generation and they do not refer to those in…

A Day Of Memories

It was a day of sharing memories and creating memories as my niece and I went to the University of Michigan stadium to watch Manchester United play Liverpool FC in the International Champions Cup. Back in the 90s, trips to Ann Arbor to watch the University of Michigan football team were a yearly event and…

The Week In Seven Photos

We’re halfway through summer and this week I felt like I needed some extra rest in order to make it through the second half. I think the slight exhaustion has caused me to feel a little out of sorts and there have been days that I had the strange feeling I was trespassing in my…

The Week In Seven Photos

After hiding indoors due to the heatwaves and World Cup, I felt it was time to catch up on the neighborhood chatter. This little one was still celebrating my favorite baseball player, Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals, winning the MLB Home Run Derby. Instead of watching exciting football matches, it was a week of…

The Week In Seven Photos

It’s July and summer and one would think this week would have been about being outdoors, but nope, it was about football, baseball, shopping, reading and hats. After rummaging through my hats, I discovered that I may not have enough hats to deal with what this hot, humid weather is doing to my hair and…

Wildlife Drive

I loved my first Wildlife Drive, but I must admit the morning began with some grumbling. Somebody might have been grumbling about the necessity of waking at 4:30 and the need to greet the birds shortly after sunrise. Someone might have been grumbling about how we were going to see more birds flying and in…

Those Great Color Vibes

Some days there are no answers to some of life’s questions and no easy fix to some of life’s problems. I’ve thought I could fix things at different times, like this sprinkler head, but I discovered again that there are some things I’m incapable of fixing. While there is a trusted sprinkler repair person to fix this…
