Birthday to Birthday

And the fire station/township hall. Downtown Mulliken, Michigan.

When will it end?

Yesterday's snow, and M-43. The fallen limbs are from December's ice storm.

Portland, Michigan. That's the Bridge Street Bridge crossing the river; taken from the Grand River Bridge, which is a whole lot less picturesque.

Finding it difficult to adjust to the new tablecloth....

The backside of Mulliken's Main Street in the background, shot from Railroad Street. That's the CSX (formerly Pere Marquette) mainline running off toward the horizon. After a (necessary) break I'm starting to take photography seriously again. I can tell because I've started thinking of photos as technical problems, even with the fairly limiting camera that took this photo. (FWIW: That's a reaction to the light-colored stripe at the bottom of the sky....) And early on my framing turns weird for a while.

Entryway to First Methodist Church in Grand Ledge.

Just slightly out of focus.... This started out as an exposure experiment, but it's easily the day's best photo.

Our picnic table may need a repaint....

Roxand Township's Moyer Cemetery (as the sign says). And the winter. But the snow is melting!

On the wall of Hamlin Square Coffee Shop, Eaton Rapids, Michigan. Despite the (relatively) balmy weather, no one was sitting outside this morning. Including me. By the way, that's all that remains of the sign. But I was first attracted by the multicolored bricks.

This winter thing is getting old .

I'm not happy with that speed limit sign, but the light this morning was terrific and a better angle just wasn't in the cards in sub-zero (F) temperatures on a busy road. So here's Sharp's. I've discussed this building before , and don't see any need to repeat myself.

On M-43 between Grand Ledge and Mulliken, Michigan.

With Rooster!
