A most unusual fence

Wandering down the alley ways of Escanaba, brother Rich and I happened on to this cool little "fence"

Images of Esky

I tuck my camera in my pocket when I take my morning walk here in Escanaba cause you never know what will catch your eye. The local laundrymat is a trusting sorta place and the painted sides of buildings are always colorful and cheerful. Enjoying a quieter pace.

Trippin in the 50's

 

Anyone from G.R. probably knows and has driven past this place.
For me it takes me back to my early years. I wasn't here then
but it just looks like something from that era......simpler times.
I hope it stays there so when I drive down Plainfield I can
remember.

Freddy and friends and Fearne

 

On the left is Freddy and his friends and on the right is Fearne and her frogs.
Yeah, I know.....I have too much time on my hands.

My Aching Calves

 

That's right, they hurt........so would yours if you walked up this set of
stairs. Figure there had to be atleast 300. The view from the top was
awesome for sure. The trek down the otherside leads to Oval Beach in
Saugatuck where we are going for our Wild reunion this year and it is a sand
trail down a dune. Imagine going down and then facing the trek back up to
take the staircase down. I thought it might be a bit much for my already
pumping heart so rested at just went back down. Today my calves ache like
they were knotted up and never ever used before in this lifetime. Whew!

The Mind's Eye

 
 

I think and wonder sometimes at the "things" we are attacted to and why. I love horses in
almost any context I see them. I have several in my home. In art I am attracted to faces
of different sorts. Sometimes bizarre, sometimes not. My daughter tells me that some I like
are "creepy" but that's to her, not to me, to me they are interesting. I guess it all goes back
to "in the eye of the beholder"...............

Memorial Day

For us it means a visit to Parnell............and a week hence for me it will be a visit to my own parents gravesite in Escanaba. Gone but never forgotten.

Sunset on the pond

 
Spectacular colors on the 18th pond out back last nite...........gonna be a great holiday weekend.
Enjoy!

Matt's path

 

Matt's been in his house for a year now. This spring he's starting to work on his yard.
He's done a really nice job on the path from the back porch to the fenced in side yard.
It leads up to the deck he and Mark built last summer. This along with plantings of
border ground cover, hostas and ferns it is beginning to take shape. Good job on the
path Matt!

Peonies

 

Along with a pink rosebush, this is my other saved and favorite bush inherited from Shirley (previous homeowner).
As soon as they get too close to the ground I try to clip and "enjoy" them. They are fragrant, volupuously full and
beautiful flowers. Why let the ants have them?
