Giving Thanks . . .

As if you haven't noticed by now, I get bored with header images often. I have no image to post today just a thought about my new header image I felt compelled to share. I felt a collage of images was in order. So I sat down at my computer and I thumbed through the "thumbnails" and I picked the images I wanted to show in the collage. I wanted some red, some yellow, obviously blues and greens, and I wanted to show summer and fall and winter and spring.

When I was finished choosing images, I pressed the button and wa la, a new header image, accompanied by this ornate font I've been into lately. And then it happened, I got to looking at the images and noticed that all but one image was taken from my 35mm camera and not my digital. I surmise my eye can still see the beauty and quality of the 35mm film that I used to call every photograph I took. And then something else happened. I got to looking more closely at all of the images, and wa la, there are seven different states represented in my collage.

A very frozen Cedar Falls, Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio

And then I got to thinking, hmmm!!! I've been busy traveling the Midwest, the Mid Atlantic and the Northeast these past ten years. How lucky am I? So I give Thanks to God for all of these fabulous opportunities. ENJOY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wish you all a great New Year and a fabulous new decade. Take a look back at a few of my best of the best photos taken during the past decade. I'll be posting more of the decade's photos throughout the coming year. Enjoy!

Miner's Castle, Summer, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Upper Peninsula, Michigan

I took a week long trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan five years ago and discovered Miner's Castle along Pictured Rocks National Seashore. The turret on the top right of the rock has since fallen into Lake Superior. I recently logged onto the Michigan tourism website and discovered there a photograph of Miner's Castle with the turret gone on the right. Needless to say, it felt weird looking at that photo. Time really does change everything. Lake Superior by the way is so beautiful.
