(All “Quickies” are photos taken and posted the same day)
These photos were taken this morning in the Gardens at Waters East. - - 8.22.14 This morning – and pretty much the whole day – the gardens
were shrouded in fog, really think fog.
Spider webs were everywhere covered with the dew of the day. A great time to walk through the
gardens and observe the muted colors, the designs, and flowers at bloom. Take your time and stroll the paths with
me.
Enjoy

Even in the fog - the poppy shows its color.

Porthole Sculpture - made from glass from the portholes of
The Straits of Mackinac
with the Formal Garden and Lake Michigan in background.
NOTE:
In the summer of 2005, 77 years after she was
launched in Detroit, the remains of the very
last Michigan State Ferry still afloat,
The Straits of Mackinac, were intentionally sunk about 14 miles off Chicago's Navy Pier to become a
scuba diving attraction. Today she rests in about 80 feet of water and is
visited by divers from throughout the world.
