Differences

These were taken on our trip to Belle Isle. The burnt down house was in Detroit. The last house, that I think resembles a hotel, is in Grosse Pointe, only one mile down the road. Detroit is of course poor, beaten down and dilapidated. Grosse Pointe is mansions, rich and privileged. The change between the two can be seen in crossing one street. It's mind blowing.

Happy 1st!!

A Bit of Spring IV

A Bit of Spring

A Touch of Spring

These are all from the conservatory at Belle Isle. The cactus is actually there, all carved up. It's sad, yet kind of cool. It's the first thing you notice when you walk into the Cactus Room. It wasn't until I uploaded them and was editing them that I noticed one of the carvings tells exactly how someone feels about the former mayor of Detroit.
