Hepatica

I have a small bunch of these growing near my birch trees in my front yard.  They are always the first flowers of the season to bloom in my yard.  They are tiny and frail, but so pretty.

Snake In The Grass

On a recent walk with my husband, we came across this little guy.  He was not easy to capture, but I managed to get him with his tongue out.  Isn't he cute?

Flaming Keyhole

There is an old dump near my grandmother's house. On Easter Sunday, my son and I took a walk back there to look around. Saw this on an old Ford truck that had been abandoned.

Snow Fence

Captured this image, during the last snow fall of the season, from an old piece of fencing that my husband has out in his scrap pile.

Snowmobiling

A couple of weeks ago, we went out to play on our snowmobiles.

Here's Brenden with his helmet on.

And here he is jumping over a snow bank.

What Is It?

Playing around with the macro feature, what do you think this is?

Cold Apple Tree

I am amazed at how many apples were still hanging on this tree.

An Opening In The Clouds

This picture was taken a couple of months ago during the early morning hours. I was headed up to the upper peninsula for a day of blueberry picking and agate hunting on the beaches of Lake Superior. We stopped in Cheboygan to get some breakfast and this is what we saw when we got out of the car and looked up into the sky. Beautiful isn't it?

Fort Michilimackinac

A worker at the Fort, dressed as a British soldier, demonstrates how to load and fire a musket.

That's My World - The Mai Tiki Resort

Located just south of Oscoda, Michigan and on the shores of Lake Huron is the seasonal Mai Tiki Resort. I've never stayed here, but have driven by many, many times. I just love the colors.

The Devil's Den

Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and as seen from Little Round Top, the rocky area on the center right of this shot is the Devil's Den, also known to soldier's as The Valley of Death. This was one of the main battlefields of the Civil War, being the area where many Confederate soldiers lost their lives. It is said that this area is one of the most haunted areas in Gettysburg. Rumors say that cameras often won't work here or they will mysteriously get knocked out of the photographers hands.. I personally never encountered this while we were there, nor did I witness anything paranormal.

Neo

This is my chocolate lab puppy, Neo. He is 6 months old.

Snow Clouds

The snow clouds looming over Lake Huron on a cold December day.

The Ice Is Forming On Lake Huron

Took a walk out on the pier in Alpena this past Saturday morning and caught this shot of Thunder Bay. It was cold, but worth it.
