With spring comes slightly warmer weather in Michigan. That means that it is time to start visiting some of the local parks. One of which is Riverside. As the name suggests, it features a river running

Last summer provided an opportunity for me and my family to go camping twice. During one of the evenings, the candles seemed like they might provide an interesting subject for photos. I was going to delete

Aerogarden Lots of people have heard of hydroponics. At the very least, many have seen it at work. One of the most widespread kits called Aerogardens are available for purchase. However, what about the

Image Source: Logee's Greenhouse A very interesting plant has begun to surface. It is both a great ornamental plant, and potentially a medically significant finding. The climbing onion (Bowiea volubilis)

I have had the pleasure of opening two new geodes recently. They may not be anything rare, but they are still spectacular. I've always had a soft spot for crystals. It's just so interesting how something

Butter loves having his picture taken. Well, tolerates is a better word, but he still looks great in them. This one might not be the clearest, but it is still one of my favorites.

Hibiscus have such great flowers. Not only are they large, but they have beauty. This provided with a few moments to get some images. It was pretty busy where I was at though, and so I had to be quick.

The first time I went camping this summer, we spent one of the days going to sales that people were having. One of which we found on a sign on the side of the road. The only clue was that it said

While camping, I came across these two ant species by two ponds. They were on some sandy area in between the two ponds. I couldn't help but record some of their activities. Possibly Lasius sp. These ants

Even though I live in a rather small house with an equally small yard, I have a small tub with water lilies. Several years back, I had a random obsession with them. I ended up with a manageable tub to

The last few days of June, and leading into July, I took a short camping trip to Allegan Michigan. This is something that my family and I do every year, but the last two we missed. It was exceptionally

A little experimentation with a new tripod resulting in a few interesting images, and these being two of them. Burning fires and the ashes left over can provide some rather cool looking pictures at times.

It has kind of become a reoccurring thing for my family to do fireworks for the 4th of July. We all go to my aunt and uncles house, buy whatever we can afford, and eat some of the food that everyone brought.

They have no eyes, no visible mouth, nothing that we would pick out as being animal like, at least not when compared to something like a dog or cat. Just clear, pulsating disk in water. There is something

I am not exaggerating when I say that this tank was huge. It contained anything from large sting rays to a six foot eel. It also was not a standard shape. I cannot help but imagine the work put into shaping

Ever since seeing these on the TV, I have wanted to see them in person. I never thought it would be possible, with them being deep sea creatures and all, but there they were. I keep different species of

Today the weather was rather dreary. One would think that this would ruin any potential images, but it actually provides some nice situations for them. The rain drops on the flowers and plants creates

When it comes to saltwater aquaria, I think invertebrates would definitely have to be the highlight for me. I love the sea urchins, sea stars, and the always curious crustaceans. Pencil Urchin - Diagram

Perhaps one of my oldest computers, the Commodore 64 is also one of my most complete. There is the original monitor, floppy drive, cassette drive, and computer. Not to mention several pieces of software.

My grandmother has a few rose bushes of different colors. While mine are reds and pinks, hers are yellow and bright. This specific bush grows some of the largest flowers I have seen on a rose, and certainly
