Look for the Hidden Gems


When was the last time you looked at something you see all the time, like this tiny pod, and saw something new? The patterns and colors are truly beautiful, and worthy of more attention.

Everything old is new again. What have YOU found lately that calls for a second look?

I am going to try and get an even closer photo of it. I love the lacey patterns, and the purple veins!

That is a really good photo - everything in my garden is dying because of the heat we are having in Adelaide at present - not much to find I am afraid.

I love the lace too...I didn't notice the purple veins until you pointed them out. Good job! (What needs a 2nd look right now is this keyboard I'm using, its my sons' and its disgustingly dirty!)

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door.

So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings.

I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

It has been empty for a great many years and needs a lot of work to bring it back to life.  But this group of people can do it.   The building itself is already purchased as part of an agreement with the Gratiot Area Historical Society.  Located in a nearby town, they have purchased it and Alma will be part of this system.  We are now forming committees for all the areas which need to be addressed, including historical research, fundraising, publicity, etc.  Lots of work, and lots of interest.  There is a steering committee in place, and we all signed up for an area we feel...
