Earth Day 2026

56th Anniversary of the first

I’m marching backwards to 1970 when I was a university student and witnessed the first Earth Day activities.

Along the way I’ve tried to be environmentally conscious in approaching my activities. I’m certainly not a tree hugger but I still have things that I can do to reduce my ecological footprint.

As a long time traveler I’ve collected photos of many of our planet’s wonders.

If you’re inclined to view some of them please visit here.

Traveling Westward

Cross Country By Car

I’m trying to catch up organizing photos from last fall’s travels.

As I was driving westward from Michigan to Nevada I snapped a bunch of scenes that illustrate the different industries from the intervening states.

Here are some photos from my car journey to Reno.

Nebraska – sprawling feed lot in Ogalalla
Wyoming – freight train delivering coal to western states
Nevada – scenic aspen trees on the high plains

I’m an admirer of the great landscapes of our country. As I traveled west from my home, it was clear to me that amazing industries which determine the way of life in these other states differs drastically from what I’ve been used to in Michigan.

A Visit to the Museum

Detroit Institute of Arts

This past Friday we had a free day and decided to take a short drive to Detroit.

The plan was to go to the Detroit Institute of Art to experience their large collection of art works.

The plan was to travel to the Detroit Institute of Art to experience their large collection of art works.

Here are two of our granddaughters admiring the statue of Count Alcide Rivalliera at the museum.

As you can seeI had my camera with me. I meticulously photographed some of the pieces that I found the most interesting.

Rather than duplicate the gallery here, please find the DIA photos at our companion site.
