I picked up some prints from the photo lab this afternoon and discovered Joan had taken this remarkable photo on May 28. Had to share! Camera: Minolta Freedom Zoom Photo by Joan Bennett

Turns out Joan's also been photographing the Azalea. Nice shot. Camera: Olympus Stylus 410 Photo by Joan Bennett

That's our first tulip of the year. Somehow Joan's managed to transform a rather ugly flower into this interesting image. Not sure how, but I like it. Camera: Olympus Stylus 410 Photo by Joan Bennett

Also Joan, reflected in the window.... Camera: Olympus Stylus 410 Photo by Joan Bennett

Joan took this lovely photo of the Mackinac Bridge a few years back from the lighthouse grounds in Mackinaw City. If you compare this pic with mine from a few weeks ago , you'll see they were taken from opposite ends of the span. This photo looks toward St. Ignace. Camera: Minolta point-and-shoot Photo by Joan Bennett in June, I think in 2000

Joan captured this photo of a large, handsome goose in downtown Grand Ledge during yesterday's hike along the river. It's about the size of a small turkey. Can anyone identify it more closely than "goose?" None of our myriad of reference books seems helpful.

A real stunner from Joan's camera, also taken during last week's walk in Michigan Audubon's Baker Sanctuary.

On a late Friday in June, the Corps of Engineers lets the tourists wander around the grounds at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Engineers Day, 2005, doubled as a kickoff to the Sault Locks Sesquicentennial. Best large; there's some great detail in this pic. Joan took this marvelous photograph of St. Clair in the Poe Lock, from the edge of the Macarthur Lock. I've cropped a lot of distracting nonsense from the shot, but the vision is hers. I took nothing half this good that day.

A flower a day for January .... Joan Bennett photograph, taken with her Olympus S410.

We headed for Northern Michigan yet again yesterday, with today's Staley-Bennett Reunion at Boyne City as our main objective. We caught up with Joan's sister (Pam) and niece (Sarah) at Petoskey State Park on Saturday, and Joan shot this pic while we were exploring the beach. Had a pleasant evening built around an excellent dinner at Petoskey's Rio Grand Steakhouse. Looks like I think I look. Photo by Joan Bennett

Joan took this shot of me as I was getting the Old New Bike out last Saturday. Except for a short spin the night I picked it up, this was my first outing since the rebuild (illness, snow, ballgames, and mandated gym trips have interfered more than I'd have preferred). Since Saturday I've taken the bike out a couple more times. It's everything I remembered, and everything I hoped. One of these days I'll have to write about that outfit....
