One Step at a Time #7

One Step at a Time #7

My images for this week’s One Step at a Time #7 are from Detroit’s Whitcomb Conservatory on Belle Isle. A seven acre island on the Detroit River, Belle Isle sits on the edge of the Canada and USA border.

    Beautiful post and photos, Pepper. Since I’m still going through some images I captured this week, I share a nice walk I did on a friend’s ranch. Here it is:

    This looks like a beautiful place to visit Pepper, especially in the Spring as the grass is so green, the trees are leafing out – beauty both inside and outside the Conservatory. The Orchid is very pretty. Thank you for the mention as to last week’s post. Here is my contribution, a walk around Elizabeth Park – a peaceful morning with nice reflections in the Canal:

      I enjoyed my time at Belle Isle. There were a few things that I didn’t have get to see so I will be going back soon. Thanks for sharing your post of your walk at Elizabeth Park. 😊

        They have made a lot of improvements to Belle Isle the last few years since it became a state park. You’re welcome Pepper. 🙂

      I always find tulips so interesting. They often look like faces. 😁

      Yes, it is. It originally opened in 1904 and I am so glad it is still standing.
