Posted on September 26, 2019 by Linda Schaub

Making mischief.

Posted on September 24, 2019 by Linda Schaub

It may seem that all crazy squirrel antics happen at the Park, but that’s not true.  The ‘hood squirrels sometimes are just as rambunctious as their Park counterparts. Squirrel shenanigans. Mother Nature has begun switching over to her Fall palette … Continue reading →

Tiny Treasures.

Posted on September 22, 2019 by Linda Schaub

How about a little Zen?

Today’s destination was Belanger Park in River Rouge, which runs along the Detroit River.  It was the first time for me visiting this venue, although I’ve meandered along the Detroit River boardwalks at Elizabeth Park, Bishop Park and Dingell Park … Continue reading →

The wasps are giddy!

Posted on September 12, 2019 by Linda Schaub

After Labor Day, the unofficial end of Summer, it seems we just morph into the harvest and Halloween season and go with the flow.  Mums have replaced weather-beaten petunias in porch pots and I’ve already seen the first Halloween décor … Continue reading →

Sojourn in the sticks.

Posted on September 9, 2019 by Linda Schaub

I’m feeling a little weary this morning.  Over the weekend I walked almost 15 miles, drove about 80 miles and stayed up late to describe my adventures in two very long blog posts.  It is raining  right now, so here … Continue reading →

1906 – it was a very good year.

Posted on September 8, 2019 by Linda Schaub

After yesterday’s trek with a country twist, today’s offering promises something out of the ordinary.  For me anyway.  Not a hint of nature, unless you want to count some shots of the Detroit River.  I didn’t even see a seagull … Continue reading →

Smiling faces and wide-open spaces.

Posted on September 7, 2019 by Linda Schaub
