After the Storm

This was taken off my deck in July 2010 after an electrical storm. The eerie glow in the air drew me outside – the sky was this color for a short time before the sunset.

Fruit & Vegetable in a Single Serving!

On my recent drive home from Florida, I bought some fresh citrus and stored them in the refrigerator drawer. This morning I took out a grapefruit, sliced it open and found a tiny new sprout magically growing inside!

Fresh Asparagus

“The most wonderful time of the year!” Long’s Farm has fresh asparagus for sale! I love to marinate it in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh garlic and then grill it. Yum! I always cook extra to put on my salad the next day.

Spring Fever

I am facing a serious case of spring fever this week. I suspect the rising temperatures and beautiful sun are stimulating the desire to see little green shoots pop from the ground. A few years ago I was in Tennessee when spring hit there. This picture of magnolia blooms and the Bellsouth building against the [...]

Sunset Torch

While visiting Sanibel Island in Florida last week, I went on a sunset cruise at the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Incredible views of the bird life culminated with this impressive sunset perched upon the water marker. A beautiful beacon guiding us back to safe harbor.

This portion of Dodge Park V was cut down to make way for the new entrance and park off S Commerce Rd in Commerce, Michigan. The straight, dark tree trunks were always most striking after a fresh snowfall.
