A bench full of pansies and cold crops in front of a large greenhouse

Good morning BlueSky, and happy Friday #scape day! I’ve been absent awhile, and this is why. We start thousands of seeds here at the farm for our commercial greenhouse which we open May 1st through mid-June. So life is crazy until we sell out!

Thank you! It looked like a secret disco going on under the seed starting bench.

Rainbows shine through the mist of the wake of the boat on Lake Superior. An island is visible in the far distance.

Keep your eye on the prize my friends…

Purple and white striped crocus bloom with orange ruffly center.

Bluish purple and white Chionodoxa flowers were the first flower to bloom

Happy Sunday #Stunday! We finally have the first outdoor flowers popping up!!! Yay!!! Spring in creeping closer! (Yes, I realize it’s officially spring, but we’ve got a ways to go up here by Lake Superior!)

Good morning, it’s chilly, frosty actually, and misty. I haven’t heard the morning birds since fall, isn’t it a lovely fresh day?! So beautiful you almost forget for a second the state of our country…

Yellow, magenta, blue and red stripes of light create a woven pattern on a brick tile floor.

Happy Sunday #stunday y’all!
Just a little something from the greenhouse floor…💃🕺🪩

Large ice sculpture created by Lake Superior sits on a rocky beach. The formation looks like a large mouth eating a point of land in the distance

Happy Friday #scape day! A #beachscape from yesterday’s beach walk. Alien creatures were osmosing back to the lake after occupying the beaches, at least they are friendly!

Ice sparkles in winter trees against a blue sky

A bit late, but a little #BlueSkyMonday from today’s travel through the ice laden northern Wisconsin.

Ice thread formations over a rushing stream, the patterns resemble stars

Cool ice thread formations over a stream running into Lake Superior

Thank you!

Thank you Karen, I found where it was, the Brecksville-Northfield High-Level Bridge, built in 1931 over the Cuyahoga River Valley, Ohio

Beautiful high arch bridge over a slow silty river.

#BlueskyArtShow #arches #arch
I don’t remember off hand where I was, but this bridge really caught my eye!

Green and red Aurora above a line of silhouette trees

Sunday #stunday! The Aurora was dancing Friday night, this was out the upstairs window before I grabbed the camera and rushed down to the Lake. In those 10 minutes, it had subsided significantly 🙃

😋 scrumptious!

Large angular flat sheets of ice litter the beach of Lake Superior’s south shore

Happy Friday #scape day everyone! Lake Superior south shore as of this morning. I was really diggin’ these angular ice sheets.

Pussy willows begin to swell. The background is snow filled ditches along a gravel road with brown winter vegetation.

Happy Equinox! This is all we have to show up north, but spring has to start somewhere!

Partially frozen Upper Amnicon Falls as seen from the bridge over the river. Footprints in the snow covering ice and rocks is visible in the riverbed.

So I just discovered #waterfallwednesday is a theme, so here’s the most recent waterfall from last week at #AmniconFallsStatePark Wisconsin USA
The bronze tint is tannins.

Looking straight up from the base of a glass-fronted building, the glass windows almost appear to form a path leading up into the sky. Other tall buildings at the top of the frame look like they're falling inward toward the centre of the picture.

I think today is the day that I walk straight up into the sky.

From my month living on the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah Valley. This was a vista at the end of a hiking trail.

A sandy beach emerges from under the icy shore of Lake Superior. Ice is visible out into the lake but is breaking up.

#BlueskyMonday
Recent beach conditions on #LakeSuperior, ice is breaking up, so don’t go out walking on it! 🤣😳

I used to go shooting in the cemetery. People asked me why I wasn’t scared. My response was always “I’m more afraid of what walks on the earth than what lies under it”. These days I feel that more and more…

Wow Sandra, both gorgeous and apocalyptic. I agree with your cemetery sentiments.

Season between winter and spring is always awkward for me. It was snowing again so I look at this painting and find it stunning again 🙂.

Godriguez dramatically lit wearing a wetsuit, mask, and a snorkel while a boat of water hits him on the side of the face

#SelfPortraitSunday 's theme is #underwaterdreams

Not sure if it was a dream or a nightmare trying to create this shot, it was actually really cold (for Florida) outside when I created it

Woman's face against shower door. Water pours down, and wet hair is across the face, and the hand is placed on the glass door—a look of despair.

I don't take the time to create self-portraits anymore. I had a blast doing them and learned a ton. This one was something I had in my head for a long time.

A bright yellow pansy dotted with sparkly raindrops tilts its face to the sun.

Happy Sunday #stunday! Spring is just around the corner, we’re transplanting the first round of pansy seedlings today, so first blooms should be showing up within a month! Until then, dream with me!
