After taking about 1,325 photos of ice from different angles, I excitedly discovered this leaf frozen into the block of sparkly ice! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I immediately set to work taking ANOTHER 2,365 photos of this leaf with the desperate hope of capturing an exciting image before freezing to death. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I lived.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I decided to spare you the agony of NOT sharing all 2,365 photos but simply chose this one. I loved that the leaf and the block of ice pointed to the power plant in the distance. And I was sick of looking at ice by this point...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #moodygram #baycitystatepark #baycitymi #Michigan #puremichigan #greatlakesstate #travelingmichigan #michiganders #mittensmitten #michiganaddict #onlyinmichigan #mittenlove #thingstodoinmichigan #michiganoverboard #michigan_wanderlust #capuringmichigan #michiganunsalted #puremichiganders greatlakeslocals #naturalmichigan #puremuchiganpride #mittenstatelove #michiganphotographer #michigan_lovers_photos #awesomemitten #michiganguide #photooftheday #fabfriday #fridayfeeling #winter

The Winter Wonder Barn digital image was also taken winter 2019.  It truly was an absolutely amazing day for capturing images at Dow Gardens.  I spent the entire day taking pictures in Midland, Michigan after a snowstorm.  I loved how the green contrasted with the sky and the snow!

Sun + Exploring = Soul Reviving Afternoon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not gonna lie, yesterday was a trying and busy day so at 2:45 I threw on my hiking boots, grabbed my favorite ivory knit hat and red gloves and took off. Destination? Who knows!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The sun was shining and it was a gorgeous day to get outside. No wind, the snow was sparkly and I was feeling the need to be creative. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The cold air and sun on my face almost immediately cleared my mind. I tend to forget about everything when I focus on the crunching snow beneath my feet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The stunning green wood on this barn caught my eye. I also love that the shadow on the barn door is a perfect silhouette of a tree! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Michigan #puremichigan #greatlakesstate #travelingmichigan #michiganders #mittensmitten #michiganaddict #winter #ice #letswinter #barn #greatlakesloving #instagood #trees #bluesky #ig_nature_naturally #backroads #michigan_wanderlust #midlandmichigan #barnsofinstagram #thegreatlakesstate #michiganderthreads #onlyinmichigan #fabfriday #photooftheday

The snow was coming down so hard prior to the picture being taken I could barely see my hand in front of my face.  A clearing opened up just enough to let light in and to blur out the background with the still raging snow storm off the lake.  Chris says it reminds him of a scene from the movie, The Matrix.  Would you take the Red pill or Blue pill?

Are We living in the Matrix?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So guys, Chris immediately thought this stark black and white landscape with the colorful playset "dropped in" looked like it could be a scene from the Matrix! Like the scene where they could add anything, like the sexy woman in red?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was fascinated with the great white expanse behind the playset and tree. Just drifting snow across icy Lake Huron can have an impact. I didn't edit out anything in the background.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the moment, I'm infatuated with color against stark white snowy backgrounds. I love the artistic feel of it. What are your "photography loves" right now? What inspires you to get out there even if it's -6 degrees?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tawascity #puremichigan #puremichiganders #capturingmichigan #only_in_michigan #ig_awescapes #letswinter #adventuremichigan #midwest_captures #ipulledoverforthis #midwestlivingmag #exploremichigan #michiganphotographers #midwestlivingmagazine #midwestwinter #lonetree
