Along the Creek
Scenes along the creek on the trails of Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve. It was a beautiful and cool spring morning full of sun streaming through the trees. Can’t get much better than that! With about five miles of hiking trails, there is much to see and enjoy including a large variety of wildflowers and birds.

Delight of the Outdoors
Delight of the outdoors starts with the first step on the trails because I never know what will cause me to stop to capture a memory. On this day, the simple things that brought joy were wildflowers growing all along the path at the Creekside Park Trails in Valparaiso, Indiana.

From Above and Below
Mayapple blossoms captured from above and below. These lovely blooms were hiding underneath the mayapple’s huge leaves. I would never have known to get down low for a look except for fellow blogger Eliza Waters suggesting it a couple of week ago and I am so glad she did. Otherwise, I might have missed their…

Hello Sunshine!
Hello Sunshine! For me, a fun time starts by greeting the day out on the trails. This sunrise was etched across the Beverly Shores Trails – Indana Dunes National Park. The rest of the day did not disappoint and continued with warmth and full of sunshine.

Bare and Exposed
One fallen petal left the inside of magnolia blossom bare and exposed at Ogden Gardens – Valparaiso, Indiana. A perfect set=up for me to click a few macro shots and I took advantage of it, of course! The magnolia blossoms won’t last too much longer so I’ve got to capture them as often as possible…

Holding On
Fragile and minuscule dewdrops, holding on for as long as possible before a breeze tossed them down to the ground. When I come across this type of scene, I quickly grab my camera and then find myself holding my breath as I focus and whisper, “Hold on a few seconds longer, please. Just try to…

Cry of Pain
Ouch! A cry of pain can be caused by pins and needles in the cactus garden at the University of Michigan’s Matthaei Botanical Gardens. The cacti are lovely but don’t get too close. You’ve been warned.

Morning for Contemplation
