The Grand Old Lady Detroit

Dan ended up in Detroit for work the other day and took pictures of the grand old lady. He did a few different treatments on the photos and I was fascinated with how different they made the pictures feel...so included them all so you can see the contrast. Enjoy!

Beauty in the Most Unlikely Places I

Sometimes we can find beauty in the most unlikely places. While hitting the ATM at a local bank, Dan jumped out and said "I need to shoot that tree!" I could see what he saw, it was beautiful indeed. We give you, "Beauty in the Most Unlikely Places I." We hope you enjoy!

Hollywood at Night

Some Hollywood Wildlife ;-)

Some beauty along the way.

Night life

Cactus in California

Cactus…what a strangely beautiful plant.

 

The delicate flowers entice you to approach.......

 
But the thorns remind you beauty can be dangerous. 

There must be a life lesson in a cactus.

An Oasis in L.A.

Dan discovered a wonderful park on a hill in downtown L.A. and was fascinated with all the picture opportunities. In fact, I went back with him and also took some shots the next day. Here are some of our photo’s at this magical location. 

Sunset over L.A.

This is a art tower produced by a club of ceramic tile artists.

As hummingbirds zoomed by us, we observed the beautiful colors and textures of the plants that surrounded. 

Iconic Hollywood sign in a distance.

A sweet mix of the beauty of the park that attracts many to its grounds. 

California Flora and Fauna

A delicate flower as lovely as a song.

Dancing in the Santa Anna Winds.

I wonder if all Michiganders are so fascinated with palm trees.

Day One Random Hollywood

This sums up Hollywood in so many ways.

Nobody walks in L.A.

The homeless survive.

Nostalgic

Wildlife?

Splendor remembered.

A rare moment in L.A.

Along the Expressway

The next time you are stuck in traffic on Michigan roads, look out your window to observe some of the most beautiful autumn in our area.

Our cement highways are filled with many wonders of nature.

Perhaps nature knows the troubles we are facing in Michigan because it seems her brush is particularly bright this year.

Enjoy the beauty around you.
