My mom has nurtured this tomato plant from seed. It's too windy and cold to plant it outside, so I'm keeping it in a pot in my sunny kitchen. I'm going to take pictures of it as it grows; I think it's going to get really big!

I thought this would be cool to use for a video or presentation background.

My talented brother-in-law made this life-size eagle out of iron. It's on display at an art gallery in Grosse Pointe Woods. It's gorgeous!

EARTH DAY 2009:
When my son was in elementary school, he asked his Grandma and Grandpa for a tree for his birthday. His teacher did a great job teaching the importance of planting trees, conservation, and recycling. Grandma and Grandpa gave him a itsy bitsy pine tree. This little tree has moved with us to two houses. If and when we move again, it will be too big to take with us. This year it produced hundreds of small pine cones!

It was a cold, stormy day in SE Michigan today. It even hailed for about 15 minutes mid-afternoon.

This is an Eastern Massasuaga Rattlesnake, the only venomous snake in Michigan. My daughter and I stumbled upon it while geocaching. EEEK! Read more about this on my Yes Tech! blog.

This looks like a strange place to go surfing. I've only seen surfing in the ocean! These surfers are on the Isar River in Munich, Germany.

I am not sure what kind of tree this is, but I would love one if it would grow in Michigan! This one was on the golf course at Fairfield Harbor, NC.

I took my husband on my first geocaching excursion today. We found an awesome city park that we would never have known about near New Bern, NC.

There were very few sailboats in motion on this chilly April day in Fairfield Harbor, NC. I can imagine a flurry of activity will come in a few weeks when it warms up a bit.

A storm was blowing in quick on this April day in Fairfield Harbor, NC.

This was our neighbor at the condo we stayed at in Fairfield Harbor, NC. He stole away to fish whenever he could. I love this shot with the reflection of the trees in the pond.

Here's a loud (but cute) bird from our local pet store. It took about 8 tries to get a decent shot because he kept jumping around his cage.

Spring is finally in the air! I spotted this bunch of daffodils, getting ready to bloom, on my way into a school today.

My daughter washed all her jeans today. She's thinking about packing for her upcoming trip, I think.
