Tails and Trails Dog Park

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 12:27:00 +0000

If you are visiting the area with your four legged friend, I highly recommend a visit to the dog park. It has a fenced area for larger dogs and a smaller fenced area for the more petite dog. There is also a separate area that is fenced with trails through the woods. I've met some wonderful people and their dogs from all over the world here. It is located just east of the expressway (6359 - 134th Ave, Saugatuck, Michigan 49453)

December in Michigan???

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:38:00 +0000

It's hard to believe I have roses still blooming in December in Michigan. The weather guessers are saying snow next week --- I'll let you know how that works out.

In a row or one odd.......

Workout time

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:00:00 +0000

This is the east side of Mt. Baldy - as you can see it is a workout to get to the top. Once there, you can take a trail back down or take the stairs. The view from the top makes the climb worth it.

Oval Beach

A view of Mt. Baldy from Oval Beach. Notice the sand collected on the road - that's from the recent storms we have had (remnants of Hurricane Sandy!!).

A walk in the woods on a beautiful day - Tipper (our son's dog) almost blends in with the leaves!

If a tree falls in the forest . . . .

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 19:46:00 +0000

. . . . and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Fall Clouds

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:42:00 +0000

It's funny how the clouds look different in the fall & winter. Maybe they float closer to the ground? You can also see the trees are just beginning to color.

Fall Funghi

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 19:31:00 +0000

Not sure what type of toadstools these are but they were itty bitty and really cute.

Last wildflowers of the season

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 19:21:00 +0000

SIGH. . . . it's the end of the flowers, swimming, tourists, eating outside . . . . and the beginning of frost, wind, snow, shoveling, freezing rain, trying to stay out of the ditch . . . . and hot chocolate, crackling fires, cross country skiing, snow days, ice skating, baking bread, making bucket loads of soup & chili . . . OK it's not so bad:)

Adventure in the woods. . . .

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 00:15:00 +0000

There is nothing like a walk in the woods to bring life back into perspective. This is taken at Shore Acres/Saugatuck Dunes State Park.

Calvary, American Officers, 1921 by Chris LaPorte

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 19:26:00 +0000

This is PENCIL drawing of a photograph that was found by the artist while out antiquing. He felt a strong desire to draw the photo and turn it into a 30 foot work of art- what an inspired idea!!! From a distance it looks like a photograph, but as you get near to the work, you realize it is a pencil drawing. This is a top 10 finalist - I won't be surprised if this work takes 1st place.

Dancing with Lions by Bill Secunda

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:18:00 +0000

This is a pride of lions on the Savannah made from nails that are welded together.

Grace by Scott Gundersen

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:11:00 +0000

A portrait of a friend of the artist - Grace is from Rwanda and lived through some awful times. She was captured during the 1994 civil war and was beaten and tortured but somehow survived. This one is made from recycled corks in their natural state.

What a statement - this coffin is made from cigarette butts and the handles are cigars. Wow - I am really glad that is one habit I don't have (any longer!!).

Inflorescence by Donna Hapac

noreply@blogger.com (Janice) — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 19:00:00 +0000

A fun sculptural piece that is made from Acrylic nails (fake fingernails!!), nail polish, linen thread and other items. It looks like flowers or maybe some strange kind of jelly fish. What a great use of an unexpected medium.
