It is 63 and sunny today here in southwest Michigan and I am more in the mood for the 2010 Tigers baseball season than ever! I love this shot of the back of the giant scoreboard at Comerica Park (wow, I actually started typing Tiger Stadium and had to delete it). I plan on taking in a couple games this summer - can't wait!
Read MoreWith the first spring training games starting this week I have had baseball fever in addition to my severe case of spring fever. I found this great 1911 Ty Cobb baseball card at the Library of Congress website. On the back of the card Ty Cobb is listed at Number 9 in the list of "Prominent Base Ball Players and Athletes." Fellow teammate "Wahoo Sam" Crawford was a few spots above Cobb at Number 5. You could trade in 10 coupons of Turkey Red Cigarettes or 25 coupons from Old Mill or Fez cigarettes to get any one of the 76 listed players cards. Unfortunately this offer expired on June 30, 1911 so if you have any Turkey Red, Old Mill or Fez cigarette coupons lying around you're out of luck ;).
Michael Lavander captured this gorgeous shot of the Saint Joseph Lighthouse in the winter. The brilliant white of the ice encased lighthouse it beautiful against the backdrop of the blue February sky.
Read MoreAs a Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix fan, I love the title of this photo. It's a play on the Dylan song that Hendrix also covered "All Along The Watchtower."
Oh, and the photo is great too! I love the large chunks of ice clinging to the wooden pier in the morning light.
Read MoreTo see this panoramic photo of downtown Detroit in all of its glory you really should view the high resolution version [it is 34mb]. The old Detroit City Hall is featured prominently in the center of this photo. To the right of that is the grand old Majestic Building which was completed in 1896 and stood until its demolition in 1962. Incidently, the Majestic was designed by Daniel H. Burnham who was one of the creative forces behind the World's Columbian Exposition of 1892 in Chicago.
On the left-hand side of the photo is the Bagley Memorial Fountain which was moved to Cadillac Square in 2007. Just beyond the fountain is Detroit's first skyscraper, The Hammond Building.
In the forefront on the right side you will see the Michigan Soldier's and Sailor's Monument. The white building in the background behind the monument is the Detroit Opera House.
There are so many wonderful things to see in this photo. I love zooming in on the high resolution version and looking at all of the people, streetcars, and old signage. It's a visual cornucopia of Detroit's beautiful architectural history.
Please use the comments to point out any of the other structures in this photo that I have missed noting. Also, for tons of great pictures and history of other notable Detroit buildings you have to visit BuildingsOfDetroit.com.
We have had a lot of frosty foggy mornings here in Michigan over the past week. I was able to capture one that was actually sunny (the last couple days have been dark and overcast). Not sure if the photo does justice to the view I had, but it was definitely beautiful with the fog retreating and leaving behind its frosty residue on tree branches as the sun rose and attempted to warm the January sky. Can we just shorten frosty fog to froggy? Then the weather forecasters can save a syllable or two and just say that another froggy morning is expected :).
