Calm tide pools nearby, crashing waves and jagged rocks reaching up out of the ocean in the distance.

..and then there was an ocean. I think the ocean won this battle.

As part of my plan to not admit that it is summer, I went skiing on Saturday. There is plenty of snow on the mountain, more than usual for this time of year, but down at the base things were looking a little bit like spring.

A pleasant row of tulips, leading to, well, a not so pleasant house. That old house must have a story all its own.

I’m a big fan of the sycamore. So much so that I’ve planted a few around my home. What I was not expecting to see this morning was this contrast of a small, new, yellow leaf among the larger deep green leaves. The combination together did make for quite the contrast!

Appropriate words written on the top of Detroit Central Station. This old train station has a long history, but now it is fenced off and abandoned. There are those that want it demolished, and those that want it saved. I can only imagine what this looked like it its day as a thriving station, but now we can only see the beauty in decay.

Sometimes even the side of an abandoned warehouse can be beautiful.

I’m pretty sure this guy was out doing the exact same thing I was. Just enjoying the sun and the waves, and checking out the view of the ruins at Tulum. Maybe he was just a bit more hungry for attention than I was, but who can blame him.

A diver in front of me on a cave dive in Mexico. This isn’t a technically great shot, it is a little blurry and funky, but I really like the effect that it has. It represents what scuba diving through this part of the the cave was like. It was dark and cold, and it felt like you just had to keep focusing on the one light in front of you and keep going.

Midtown is that way!
