Spend time observing nature, and you'll be amazed at the resourcefulness out there. 
 And the perseverence.

It's amazing that this bird, with only one leg, could not just survive, but thrive. We've been watching her hold her own at the feeders, and master the one-foot-hold in wind and snow. Amazing.

What a nice blog your have created. I like your New Skills post and the fact that you remind us that there is inspiration everywhere. Something that I have just started working on, is taking twelve shots of the same scene, at the same time of day, one each month. I plan on putting them altogether in a photo collage. I think it will be interesting, seeing the difference in the seasons, the weather and the lighting. Just a little fun project. My name is Connie. I am an artist, photographer, and paper crafter. I enjoy re-purposing old items, love to cook, garden and entertain. Retired and loving it. Oh, and I'm your newest follower. Please visit my blog, maybe you'll decide to follow me, too. Have a great weekend!

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. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. 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. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr...

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

Restoration in the Works!

  The Ammi Wright House.  Built 1888.         Our town has some pretty remarkable older homes and businesses.  Many have already been restored and are residences and/or businesses.   We went to a meeting the other night which focused on how to go about restoring a beautiful old lumber Barron's home - the Ammi Wright house, just off the main street. 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...
