Roasted garlic -- good for the soul

Livin' on the edge -- Sears Tower, Chicago

Happy Fall!

"Bee"Dazzled candle shop

Benzonia, MI

Sweet Pea -- wildflower

County Road Ends at Water

No Kidding! This is in Glen Arbor, MI -- don't keep driving or you will end up in Wisconsin! (If your car turns into a boat, that is . . . a duck (?))

A little piece of paradise -- Lake Michigan

Lazy Days of Summer in Illinois

Well, you can pretty much sit around and watch the corn grow . . .

Too hot to do much else

Almost done with this puzzle -- we are having a heat wave here!

Early Sunflower

Usually I don't have sunflowers for a few more weeks . . . of course, I didn't plant this one -- it is courtesy of the birdfeeder!

Sunset, Lake Michigan

Yes, I said sunset! This was taken from the opposite side of Lake Michigan. We have sunrises here on the Chicago side . . .

Arch Rock - Mackinac Island

Not very close to home in Nunda Township -- just away on vacation in Michigan. Anyone want to guess the story of how this was formed? An old Indian legend. . .

View from the boat . . .

See the Statue of Liberty, earlier post. . .

One More Daisy

Photos taken this morning in my front garden . . .

Wedding Cake

This is from my cousin's wedding -- the mother of the groom (my aunt) actually MADE this cake -- can you believe it?

Statue of Liberty, Fox Lake Style

Cherries in the yard . . . to jam in the cupboard!

Delightful sour cherries . . first a pie and now jam! I also made strawberry-rhubarb jam and it is delicious, too. Raspberries are next -- just starting to ripen in our garden.

Frog -- caught!

A simple pleasure from childhood -- catching the ever-illusive frog! Toads are much easier -- not as slippery. Lucky day for my children, this frog was caught . . . and then let go a little while later.

Peonies

Guanyin, Field Musuem, Chicago

Went to the Field Museum for the first time recently, would like to return and spend more time exploring the collections. Very nice, more pix to follow.

Easter Lily

Have a wonderful Easter everyone! It is really like spring today. I am very happy to see the sun.

Tulips for Spring

Crocus - Spring is here!

I haven't posted in forever! Things have been busy, we were out of the USA for one month. So here it is Spring again. But it snowed here 2 days ago -- 7 inches. Fortunately today it is 50 degrees and everything is pretty much melted. . . .
