Hurry Spring

Brrrrr...will it ever be warm again. Winter does not want to seem to leave us this year. But much like some things Mr. Winter, you have over stayed your welcome. So please, let Spring come in and let us feel the warmth on our bare armed skin again!

Winter Wonderland, Indeed

Dan was out shooting some of the last moments of winter (we hope.) Here are the results of his wintery wonderland.

March Winds Will Blow.....

Seems just when there is hope spring is here...Mother Nature reminds us who is in charge.  As we are once again blanketed with snow and ice...we can take solace in the fact that Spring will have to come sometime! Below find a study of the winter elements by Dan.

Frosty Beauty

Living in a wintery state can cause a lot of challenges. Travel, loss or power and endless hours of shoveling can make the most hardened Michigander long for spring. But....there is beauty in those dancing snowflakes and frozen icicles.

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.
