The New Michigan Winter
In our old Michigan winters, by this time of the season snowmobilers would be traveling over some of our 6,500 miles of snowmobile trails, our 40 ski areas would be busy with skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts would be enjoying winter festivals, ice fishing and hockey on the frozen lakes.

iPhone Journey – Day 64
I’ve lost track of the number of important topics I would like to rant about, but there has been some serious muttering I can share this week. In the midst of not being able to accept aging some days, I read an article about The Golden Bachelor tv show in The New York Times that…

Just like those old days when I loved to double down while playing blackjack in Las Vegas, I could double down on my pessimism this week, but, oh look, another adorable moment in nature. Oh, this year it feels…

The Week In Seven Photos
It was a somewhat painful week on the nature trails with many close calls. Amazingly I performed moves I didn’t know my body was capable of saving myself from falling to the ground after losing my balance on a hill while capturing my first flower photos of the season. Another red-winged blackbird bounced off my…

The Week In Seven Photos
After blogging for over seven years and recently finishing my first 365 days of blogging challenge, I’ve noticed that I may need to hire a ghost writer if Harper doesn’t start coming up with some new material. I knew I was in trouble once I started using winter and spring in many weekly titles. I’m…
