It is spring, right? These photos were all taken last week on my walk at Gabis Arboretum at Purdue NW in Valparaiso, Indiana

It may not look quite like spring yet in the Midwest, but it is coming! We have had rain for the last couple of days, so pretty spring blossoms can’t be far behind.

Originally built in 1864 by Christian missionaries, Palapala Ho’omau Church in Kipahulu, Maui still stands today. Though the building has been restored, some of the original pews sit inside.
The stained glass window of Jesus Christ is magnificent and I was not able to do it justice with the photo below. This is a tremendous place to get a glimpse of history from the inside and out. The view from the grounds is beautiful. Just steps away from the Palapala Ho-omau Church sits the final resting place of Charles Lindbergh, the American aviator who made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

A chalk artist on the streets of Florence, Italy. Now this is a creator who loves his craft. A person who spends hours creating a portrait from a picture, only to eventually be brushed away by the wind.

So looking forward to yellows popping up in the garden. Why yellow, you might ask. Because yellow is the color of sunshine and I love, love, LOVE sunshine!
How about you? What is your favorite color of blossoms in the garden?

Occasionally, I enjoy some stealth photography by covertly capturing other photographers who are immersed in creating their own art.

Welcome to Newcom Tavern, also known as the Old Cabin, in Carillon Historical Park – Dayton, Ohio.
Built in 1796 as a tavern and hostel, it is now the oldest building in Dayton that is still standing.
According to Wikipedia, food and lodging for one person and a horse used to cost 65 cents. Need a place to stay for a night or two?
There is much more to see in the area of Carillon Park. Just a short walk from the Newcom Tavern stands the Wright Brothers National Museum. but that is for another post.

A photographer, intent on capturing the perfect shot on her phone. Too charming of a scene to pass up without capturing the photographer on Wailea Beach – Maui.

Occasionally I do photograph people and the more I do, the more I enjoy it. These were captured from the soft sand of Maui’s Wailea Beach.
