Ice Storm

When it rains ice, it makes you want to stay home. But if you have to go out, bring your camera cuz it sure can be pretty!

Indoor Flowers

My purple shamrock and christmas cactus are in bloom.

Nuthin like a light house.

catch me some real food

Went to the lake today, and found a great Mexican place that had it's own lake and waterfall.

aloha

A friend of mine sent these to me from Hawaii. I just love them.

Halloween??

Normally, here in Northwestern Ohio, the leaves have fallen by trick-or-treat evening. But this year, when I look up, I still see lots of leaves! And still quite a bit of color.

Oh, and I noticed a little hornet condo hanging from a dogwood branch. It was probably there all summer, but hidden by the leaves.

Beans, beans, the glorious fruit

I hope I didn't pick these too soon, but a frost is in the forecast and I don't want to lose them.

Dinner Time

Look who decided to wander into my yard last night to eat a few trees.

My Wild Hyacinth Bean

There's a yard light under there believe it or not.

Muskrat Love

He just swam over to say hello.

Just Ducky!

I think the ducks wanted some of that fish bait!

yum. sugar.

stormy baby!

Yes, it can get stormy here at lake columbia, but when the wind and rain are finished, the most glorious sunsets show us their magical skies.

SLURP!!

I have a park too. It has a bathroom.

Not as great of a shot as my sister's, but I did capture the little guy checking out the nectar.

Seven swans a-swimming (plus mom and dad makes 9)

Traverse City

The marina on Traverse Bay was looking calm this beautiful night in June.

The little birdies were sure happy when mommy came back with a nice juicy white slug for dinner.

spring has sprung

The grass has riz... I wonder where the birdies is....

I took this the night of the eclipse. Well, I really couldn't have taken it any other night, now could I have. (did that sound bitchy?)

snow

Looks like there are a few inches of fresh snow up here in Michigan. Pretty.

I found these at a cute shop on my way up to the cottage. I think they will be grand to wear when I go puddle jumping, don't you?

scarf

I decided to knit a scarf. It's been awhile. Guess I had a little "intermission" of my own.
