Dig it

On the last road trip I discovered how full sized trees are moved from place to place. They use a giant trowel like the one pictured here. Someone must have forgot to put it away after planting these pines.

It is called "Plantoir" by Claes Oldenburg.

Ha ha, I know where that is! At the Meijer Garden in Grand Rapids! I think I have that same picture somewhere! I was just surprised to see a blog from Michigan! Just saying "Hi"!

Greetings from Michigan - Diane

A collection of my thoughts, rants and pictures since November 22, 2008.

During the first year of my blog it was called "Something to say… everyday." That got just a bit tedious, but what else does someone unemployed have to do. The second year of my blog started out sporadic with a post whenever I got around to it but I felt I needed some kind of order. 2010 brought order when I started "A picture a week… every week" loosely following the Flickr group "52.5 of Twenty Ten." By the end of 2011 I was back in the work force so a daily thing wouldn't have worked anyway. For 2011 I decided to actually JOIN the Flickr group "52 of Twenty Eleven" and go by their rules. It was a success with 52 out of 52 pictures posted! Same goes for "52 of 2012!" Now on to "52 in 2013." OF COURSE I might post witty bits of wisdom here and there outside the photo project from time to time. (BTW: clicking on any pic will either show a larger view or go to the Flickr page of that pic.)
