Winter Sunsets.

The sunsets this winter have been stunning, to say the least. I've collected a few of my favorite sunset pictures.

Winter Wonderland

I live in Michigan. Where it's been snowing it seems non-stop since January 1st. Well, there has been a few days of no snow, but they are few. So, here is a few pictures of the snow and ice, and coldness that has been our weather since late December.

This first set of photos is from the ice storm we had before Christmas. 

Then it started to snow. And i realized i don't have that many pictures of the snow. Here are the ones i have. 

I guess it won't be long until I'm posting some spring pictures. Fingers crossed.

Autumn

Here are some colorful pictures of autumn.

End of Summer Flowers

So, the past few weeks, there are yellow sunflower like flowers, but, they don't exactly look like sunflowers, they look like daisies. Anyway, here are some photos of them.

And, i planted a small morning glory plant back in....say June? Those have taken off. And it they are beautiful. I love my morning glories, I've taken a picture of every single one of them. Morning glories are my favorite flowers.

Frasier the Heron

For a long time, I have been trying to get a good photo of a heron that likes to hang out by the creek. This has been going on for about three years, give or take. Today, I was out and about taking pictures, and what do i see? That elusive heron, who I've named Frasier.

Here are pictures of Frasier the Heron, which i thought was a crane, so it was funny, but it's a heron, i believe, any way, here are pictures of that crazy heron. Finally.

 

I tried to get a photo of him soaring majestically over the creek, those pictures didn't really work out. 

 I almost lost sight of him, as I almost always do, but I finally spotted him again.

 Hello there Frasier. How are you? Looking for food I assume.

 Some ducks startled Frasier, and then he flew off, squawking all the way.

 Peace out fishes.

 I'm going to soar majestically over this grassland area.

 And past this building.


Then, he landed further down the creek, and I lost sight of Frasier the Crane, er, Heron

Spring Flowers!

So, after what seemed to be a long winter, it was finally spring, and one day it was gray and rainy, the next, GREEN EVERYWHERE. And spring was here. I won't go into the weather forecast right now, which calls for a frost.  What I'm saying is spring happened overnight.
And spring means flowers. And flowers means more pictures.

 

The Hyacinths have come and gone. 

  The dandelions never leave. 

  Not sure what these are, maybe Catalpa? They smell AMAZING.

These orange Zinnia flowers we part of a planting day my friends and I had. 

Pink Verbena flowers were also part of the planting fun.

We have lilacs that have yet to bloom. I cannot wait for these.
