Super Texture Sunset in Technicolor, photo by Murtasma.
I don’t think there’s any denying that this is indeed a Super Texture Sunset in Technicolor … more like a sculpture than a photo.

About 10 miles south of Grand Haven … highly recommended as wallpaper for the cabin feverish.
The Detroit Red Wings and Hockeytown skate towards to Stanley Cup
Champs, photo by my new clever name.
Wikipedia’s Detroit Red Wings page says that the Wings have won ten Stanley Cups, top among U.S. based teams, and third most in NHL history. With all those Cups and a rich heritage that includes names like Gordie Howe and Steve Yzerman, it’s no wonder they boast a fan base that’s among the most passionate – and certainly most octopus rich – in pro sports.

…and do, do click to the large view of the photo above to get your desktop in shape for the Cup run!

When the wind works against us
When the wind works against us, photo by chinkon.
To this glorious photo of a Lapeer, Michigan barn, chinkon adds an appropriate poem for our chill spring that begins…
When the wind works against us in the dark,
And pelts with snow
The lower chamber window on the east…
Get over there and read the rest of Storm Fear by Robert Frost.
of Heads, Hands and Frandor
self reflection, photo by Bridget Johnson
Bridget relates that this photo was taken at the Frandor Mall in East Lansing … or Lansing … or right between the two. I am a bit depressed that there is no entry for Frandor at Wikipedia (yet at least). The Lansing entry says that in 1954, Frandor Mall was the first in the area and the second in the state.
On second thought, Joey Harrison’s photo of the old FRANDOR sign on Flickr is lots better than any Wikipedia entry probably would be because it has a bunch of people’s reflections on the history of the mall, including his mom, who says:
What I’m about to say can’t be certified, but this is what I seem to remember: Frandor was developed by Francis and Doreen Corr in 1954 from a former golf course. It was the second outdoor mall, the first being Northland in Southfield.
Bridget Johnson is a Traverse City based photographer who will be among the over 150 women artists of all media whose work will be on display at the 5th annual From Women’s Hands art show, sale and benefit for The Women’s Cancer Fund from April 27-29 at the Hagerty Center in Traverse City.

There’s a lot that I treasure about this Michigan in Pictures thing, but probably nothing more than finding a lovely photo like this that there is really nothing to say about other than “Here you go”.
Here you go…

Kind of amazing what can be accomplished when you try to accomplish something amazing. More at Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center from SkyscraperPage.com, Renaissance Center from Wikipedia and Flickr’s RenCen slideshow.
Zooming toward spring
Although it seems that the climate control has been set to “November” this morning, aricee’s photo says you can’t deny that spring is springing in Michigan.
If you click the photo above, you can zoom in on the wildflower and she has set it up so you can zoom in and out between this pair of photos.

April is Michigan Wine Month, a great time to Celebrate Michigan wine & wineries.
Wineries like this one on the Old Mission Peninsula* are every bit as lovely as those in other great wine regions and Michigan’s vineyards are producing award-winning wines that are the equal of any in the world.
*I am guessing Old Mission. Looks like Power Island in Grand Traverse Bay.
