One Man's Castle



Curwood Castle

The weather is warming up at least for a day or two.  Spring will be here before we know it.  The tigers are in Florida starting spring training.  We are seeing birds flying around that we haven't seen in many months. Yes Spring is on the way.

So why a picture of Curwood Castle? I have a couple of reasons.  First its cool; I mean think about.  If I had the means to do it I would build a castle in the bend of a river .  Maybe not to write maybe just to think and relax.  The castle is where Mr. Curwood wrote some of his novels.  Secondly look at it.  The sky is blue the foliage is green.  Yes spring is on the way.

Reflexsion






Reflection of a warm summer night
Yesterday I was viewing some photos that were taken at night. I choose to share with you this photo.  No it is not the Golden Gate.  It is the original great suspension bridge. The Mighty Mac.  The Mackinaw Bridge connecting the the upper peninsula of Michigan.  The shot was taken from the beach on Mackinaw Island around 11:30 PM.  It was a beautiful night with very still waters.  

I am so ready for summer to be here again.

IT'S THE SIMPLE THINGS


Sometimes it's the simplest things that bring a smile to me.  Yesterday a friend of mine celebrated her 16th year of sobriety, again a smile. Yesterday my son was confronted by his mother. He got into the truck put his hands together and prayed.  Simple and yet fragile.
