Nature A to Z Challenge

Of course N had to be Nature. I am so fortunate to live in an area that is bursting with natural creative inspiration. The fact that the Great Lakes are...great is a big part of it. We have 4 seasons, and there is a reason to look forward to each one. 

Winter gets a bit old, but that's another topic.

The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore was named one of the most beautiful places in the world a couple years ago. My shot of that area above. All the images in this post are my own.

 Poppies have to be one of my favorite flowers. Short lived but they pack a punch.

Fall is my favorite season, until it's time for Spring. 

 This will be happening very soon, Trillium, then morel mushrooms!

 Michigan's Upper Peninsula is a step back in time & an amazing place to explore. 

Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore is another gem. Hiking, kayaking, 

cross country skiing, it can all happen there.

 

Critters. Another opportunity. 

This is the only image not from my home, but I was so enthralled by these bugs 

I  had to include them. On the Island of Vieques. Just off Puerto Rico.

Between water, Flora, moss, critters, sky, rock formations, the everyday scenes that present creative inspiration are non stop.

The sky's the limit. I couldn't resit.
