Snow

No snow yet but I've been thinking about it. There is something so clean and crisp about snow and cold but more and more I tend to stay inside when the weather is inclement. These photos were taken at Lower Huron Metropark a few years back.

The Whitney

 

We had our Thanksgiving meal at the Whitney in Detroit. I have never been there during daylight hours and had forgotten how beautiful it is. We really enjoyed the food and the great service

Decorated for the holidays

I loved this guy....he was really into his music and played "Blue Skies" one of my favorites. He put his own jazzy spin on it. I enjoyed listening to his playing.

The Last of the Autumn Leaves

Picnics Are done for the Year

 

Fall Back

 

Today we went back to Eastern Standard Time marking the end of Autumn as far as I'm concerned. We had an absolutely beautiful fall and even today is sunny and pleasant. Leaves are falling everywhere but the big Oak next door is just starting. I'm probably one of the few people that enjoy the evening light fading at 5pm. Time to put jammies on and relax for the evening.

These pictures were taken at Michigan Memorial Cemetery in Huron Township. 

Autumn on Belle Isle

 We were on the island on Sunday....the weather was fabulous! Lots of people taking advantage of the color and the sunshine. The picture below shows people enjoying the day and watching a Great Lake freighter go by.

A fallen leaf is summer waving goodbye

 

Morning Glory

                       Well, finally my Morning Glory is in bloom. I planted plants in late May and this is how long it took for them to blossom. Next year I will try another climber that brings pretty blooms all summer long.

My front maple is a blaze of color......the best that it's been in a few years.
