This time of year is amazing for wild flowers in my area. A tapestry of purples, whites, oranges, blues & yellows are scattered throughout the fields near my home. Of all the wild flowers around, I love Queen Anne’s Lace & Woodland-edge Sunflowers & Chicory. Yesterday when I stopped to photograph these on the edge […]

This evening after enjoying happy hour cocktails with The Good Dr. Long downtown Ann Arbor we stumbled upon a little classic car show. It was not too busy out, so we were able to enjoy some really beautiful gems on display. The interesting thing is that I’m not a car enthusiast at all but the […]

Last night I attended the Urban Organic Eric Roberson performance at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History & enjoyed one helluva show. As you can see in the video above, things were quite electric, which is always the case when Eric is on the stage. I love live music! Good live music! […]

So, I’m walking down Broadway in SoHo minding my own business when I happened to look up to see this beautiful cocoa brown woman walking my way. I basically jumped in front of her & asked to photograph her. Her hair was great, her skin was great, her make up was like totally perfect; almost […]

Looking forward to my lovers road trip get-a-way this weekend to celebrate my 11th wedding anniversary along with BFB & The Good Dr. Long, who will be celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary. During the trip, we are doing nothing specific so I’m hoping for tons of random goodness. I know one thing, Suite Suzy & […]

I took a trip to the Ann Arbor Farmers market today for some fresh Michigan berries to recreate a berry infused vodka recipe that I saw on B. Smith’s television show way back some time in the 90s. The recipe was quite simple as I recall. Just, a mason jar filled with a cup or […]
