A quick walk through the gardens in early June. Checking on some of the plants blooming this week in the Gardens at Waters East. Many more plants “alive” with flowers – so nice to see. Summer is now happening.
Enjoy walking around with me today.
Me, me, me. Look at me. No, look at me. Better yet, skip all those and look at me! Walking through the Gardens at Waters East, one almost hears this constant refrain. Every plant wants attention. Every bloom is screaming – “I’m so beautiful just look at me!” In many cases they are right.
Self-centered though they may be, the flowers do make you stop and stare. They seem to be doing “their thing” just for you. So why not indulge them for a few moments while walking the paths.
Here then are a couple of lily photos for this posting
pause a moment - - - really slow down and pause a moment

6 PACK – Party on the Beach
A rather large and extensive collection of photos has been taken on StoneWater Beach which is the private beach on Lake Michigan along the shore of this area known as Gardens at Waters East. Over the past months, many wonderful scenes of the waters, clouds, sun, plants, and stones have been captured. In the past when similar photos were posted on the Blog many people commented about the lake and how it adds to the beauty and experience here at the Gardens at Waters East.
Instead of just filing all the unused photos away, this series will post six of them (thus a - - 6 Pack) as a set in an ongoing series. Now I do admit this posting is more than a 6 pack more like a 12 Pack a little extra libation for the long hike! None of these pictures have ever been posted before today. Even if you never walk the paths here or wander down to the lake shore, you are invited to experience and enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan as do all those who have come here to the gardens for a visit.
In more ways than one, it is always - - - “cooler by the lake”.
Do Enjoy
