I often wonder as I wander along the trails. This time I was at Van Curler Preserve in Scio Township, Michigan.
It is amazing to see the different stages of growth of a wildflower all in one place. Considered an invasive plant, this pretty plant is a Dame’s Rocket.
Other wildflowers along the trail were featured on “Summer Wildflowers.”

Here’s One Step at a Time #14. My pics today are from a hike close to home this week at Kensington Metropark. With four eggs in her nest, a swan kept a watchful eye on me as I clicked away.

One of many reconstructed historic buildings at Greenfield Village, Cotswold Cottage is my favorite. This is the second set of windows shared in the last few weeks. At first glance, it may look like the windows on the first post, “Threesome of Windows” are the same ones as these. Take a closer look through the windows. You’ll notice that the view to the outside is different. Both images were captured on the same visit.
More information on the reconstruction of this building can be found on The Henry Ford website.

Last week I found beauty on an unexpected backdrop, a dumpster. As I parked my car at the Douglas Center at the Indiana Dunes National Park, I spotted a lovely scene. Butterflies, wildflowers, and birds had been painted on a blue dumpster. Everything in the scene were things that can be spotted along the trails. I regret that I did not find the name of the artist anywhere on the mural.

A perfect spot to relax and take in the view of West Maui from across the Pacific Ocean at Wailea Beach. This was taken in the early morning with the sun rising from behind the camera. A few clouds in the sky created shadows on the mountains of West Maui.
A gallery of photos from Maui was featured on “A Photographic Paradise.”

This week, I have some well-maintained and flawless barn doors for Dan’s Thursday Doors Challenge. I spotted them a few weeks ago at the Johnson Nature Center in Bloomfield, Michigan. Quite the opposite from the ones featured last week that were barely hanging on.

Meet my buddy, Mr. Redman. He is delightfully pleasant, a good listener, and great at posing without moving for long periods of time.
Mr. Redman was sitting on a shelf in our hotel room in Chicago and I just had to click. I also photographed a large group of men while there. They were featured on “Gentlemen of Chicago.”
