Serendipity

Pleasant Lake Michigan. That's where I am, healing from my breakup with my boyfriend. I needed time away, to regroup and find myself again. It's beautiful here and the purpose of this post and others that will follow, is to share with you some of the beauty Michigan has to offer. Sunset 2nd night here Sunset 3rd night here A family on a boat ride Great Blue Heron Edge of the lake This lake has an abundance of life, from swans to geese, herons to ducks, muskrats to what might be left to discover.   Water lily leaves Most of the boats on the lake are pontoon boats Other water crafts are used too. A single duck Another sunset   Within the yard here are some flowers I thought were pretty: Echinacea  Hosta I think   But my eyes fell in love with the swans!

So here is a collection of photos I've taken this month...from frosted hillsides to feeding deer and honking geese. Enjoy! March, so far, has been a very snowy, blustery and snowy month for us here in upstate, New York. These next 5 photos were taken on March 3rd, 2013...and as you can see, we've had frosted trees, and a bit of snow to boot. Out of this particular storm, we received about 3-4 inches of snow when it was all said and done. At the break of dawn almost every morning, I have had the delight of seeing deer out behind our house in the field. The herd itself, totals no less than 18 deer, but within the herd are two distin...

My new friends...3/31/12 It's surprising that growing up on a farm and having lived a good share of my life rurally, that I never had the chance to watch any geese, except those honking-through over head. This year, in the last month, that changed with a pair of geese that decided they liked the field behind my house to feed. Like clockwork, they showed up twice daily, once about 8 a.m. and then again about 5 p.m. They always landed in the middle of the field...so I really had to push my camera to the limit to get photos of them. 3/31/12 3/31/12 3/31/12 3/31/12 It was really hard to catch them both in the same photo...they like to wander apart yet not too far from each other. 3/31/12 3/31/12 3/31/12 I have no idea which is which as far as the gender, but I have pretty much figured out the the one that 'talks' the most is likely the male.
