Seeing Beauty Wherever You Go

On my 300th post a faithful reader commented that I live in a beautiful place. She deduced this from the many nature-inspired photos I post. While I have to agree with her—I do live in a beautiful place called Michigan—I’m a firm believer that beauty can be found anywhere, if we only look for it. Her comment inspired me to share some photos of some Michigan places that might look decidedly un-beautiful at first glance. These may not be colorful flowers or clear blue waters, but they have a beauty all their own. Except for the first (which I photographed on film back in high school while driving aimlessly around Hampton Township) and the last (which I photographed on film during college in Eastown in Grand Rapids) all can be found within Lansing, Michigan, city limits.
