All the excitement with the Leslie Science and Nature Center in 2016 was over their 30th anniversary and especially the exhibition at the Kerrytown Concert House. I was privileged to be one of the Michigan Artists contributing a piece to the exhibition and was able »
There was a time when I was really concerned with detail, with sharpness, in my photographs. With my first digital camera, it didn’t have too many pixels, and I found that frustrating. Many years later I discovered the issue was really more with the software, and reworking those files »
Fall is coming to Black Pond woods. Admittedly, not that much yet. There are quite a few yellowed leaves on the floor. And it is even more difficult to see in the trees themselves. It’s most visible in some of the vines and especially in the sumac.
