We are still up and down in temperatures here in Michigan, but the tulips are finally starting to become more prominent and emerge from the ground. To me this is the sure sign that spring is really here. Winter has snapped back a few days this week with icy wind and cold that has robbed us agai

On Wednesday morning I was out on the road early and captured this moment of natures beauty. There was a shot I wanted to get a few moments later which would have shown a half moon shaped sun upside down, but I was driving and there was no where to stop. So it must remain in my minds eye, and u

I have a facination with old barns. To me they symbolize endurance of americana in a very deep way. Some are old and weathered, like this one in the photo. It makes you wonder on its age, and the people who built it. They always seem to last longer than residential houses, and some stand alon

Yesterday I had to venture onto some slippery back road, and even got mired in a icy area at one point and had to get out of the car and knock the ice off my tires to be able to move. Yesterday, however, the skies were blue despite the cold. Today however, we are in another blizzard here in So

I thought I would share my last photo taken in January 2014, as a sort of tribute and parting with a difficult month weather-wise. I took this photo after I had to trudge through knee deep snow to do a property evaluation on a foreclosure for a customer. I was looking back at the way I had come

I was traveling along a snow covered back country road a few days ago, and I looked up and there was a group of deer standing in the road about 100 yards ahead of me. I slowed down, and grabbed by camera but they had moved off into the woods. As I approached where they were, I could see them in
