Day 321/365

     When I was out and about running a few errands this past Sunday/day 321 I drove by Cheboygan Creek and saw that the layers of ice were piling up on one another to form large masses of the frozen chunks. It'll be interesting to check back on the creek and the river when all of that ice starts to melt...

Day 245/365

     Monday/day 245's belated post is a product of my drive back up to Michigan after spending the weekend in Ohio. As the sun was setting, a fog rolled in when I was driving down a side street to avoid traffic. I liked how it looked, and took a quick picture before finishing the rest of the drive back to Saginaw. 

Day 210/365

     Today one of my assignments was to try and get some photos of the local fall color since it probably won't be around much longer. I'm a sucker for bright and vibrant autumn leaves, and, as much as I love snow and winter, I'll miss them when they're gone. 

Day 202/365

     Fall is definitely here, and I'm extremely happy about that fact. I just hope the leaves stick around for a while longer. 

Day 197/365

     Yesterday the tree with bright red leaves in front of my apartment, (in other words, my favorite tree), started to drop its leaves. They're super pretty, but at the same time it's a little bittersweet because that means the tree will be bare soon... 

Day 148/365

     Yesterday/Tuesday's post is from the old Saint Patrick's Cemetery in Bay City. There's been some work done on the trees there, and people who live near the cemetery and/or drive by it have been complaining about how the tree company has been handling the whole process. There were reports of damaged grave sites/headstones and all-around catastrophe. While the reporter that was assigned the story and I didn't see any actual damage, it was definitely a bit disconcerting to see logs and debris lying anywhere and everywhere, even on top of grave sites and completely covering grave markers in some cases.

Day 89/365

     We’re officially half way through our road trip, and it’s been amazing so far. Day eighty-nine’s post is from the Jedidiah Smith Redwood Forest National Park in California. We stopped to do some light hiking and ended up reaching the Smith River, which has crystal clear blue water; it was absolutely beautiful. We’re currently on our way to Yosemite, (I got mixed up when writing yesterday’s post – we won’t be camping in the Sierra-Nevadas until tomorrow night). I’ll be sure to post more the next time we find some wireless access!

Day 68/365

     For today's post I stopped at Wildwood Manor again and put together a small panoramic of the woods on the property. It got really humid and hot pretty quickly today, but under those trees you'd think it was a typical breezy spring day.

Day 60/365

     With everything I had going on today, I almost completely forgot to upload today's entry! I did a lot of yard work today, and while I was laying down mulch in the gardens going alongside my mom's garage I heard this weird shuffling/chewing noise. I looked up, and about one foot and-a-half to my right there was a squirrel sitting in the rain gutter chowing down on helicopter seeds from the Maple trees in our backyard. (Yes, we know the gutters need to be cleaned out; they're on the list). The little guy seemed to be completely unperturbed by me being so close, so I took his picture, which of course made him stop eating the seeds. Oh well...
