exploring nature’s infinite connections
Sometimes when I am in some very familiar places, some crazy things pop into my head. I try to see in ways I haven't seen before. Sometimes that comes along with creating a bit of fantasy and playing around. For this image, I imagined being in some type of time warp...
Yesterday my wife and I took the day off for a casual drive up Michigan's thumb area with our Alaskan Malamute, Willow. A drive up M25 takes you through numerous little towns along the coast of Lake Huron typically starting in Port Huron, with Port Austin being at...
