Fifth-grade students who submitted Arbor Day posters to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources had their work judged by a panel of forestry experts and a special guest judge, Maryland First Lady Yumi Hogan, who is an accomplished artist and adjunct professor at Maryland Institute College of Art.
The Maryland Forest Service accepted hundreds of entries for the 2022 Arbor Day Poster Contest. Previously selected winners from each participating county were then forwarded for judging by the volunteer Maryland Urban and Community Forest Committee.
The Arbor Day Poster Contest is hosted annually by the department’s Tree-Mendous Maryland Program.

It’s amazing what you can find when you leave the road and set off on foot. I pulled over because I saw a lone tree standing at the end of a dirt lane surrounded by dried up grape vines. The sun was...

Ann Arbor is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the county seat of Washtenaw County. The 2010 census recorded its population to be 113,934, making it the sixth largest city in Michigan. The Ann Arbor Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) includes all of Washtenaw County, which had a population of 344,791 as of 2010. The city is also part of the larger Detroit–Ann Arbor–Flint, MI Combined Statistical Area (CSA) with a population of 5,318,744.
Ann Arbor was founded in 1824, named for wives of the village's founders and the stands of Bur Oak trees. The University of Michigan moved from Detroit to Ann Arbor in 1837, and the city grew at a rapid rate in the early to mid-20th century. During the 1960s and 1970s, the city gained a reputation as a center for left-wing politics. Ann Arbor became a focal point for political activism and served as a hub for the civil-rights movement and anti-Vietnam War movement, as well as various student movements.
Ann Arbor is home to the University of Michigan, one of the foremost research universities in the United States. The university shapes Ann Arbor's economy significantly as it employs about 30,000 workers, including about 12,000 in the medical center. The city's economy is also centered on high technology, with several companies drawn to the area by the university's research and development money, and by its graduates.

The original painting is available
The Old Fashioned Gardens are located behind the Mansion at Sonnenberg Gardens in Canandaigua, NY. The white arbor runs the length of the gravel pathway, making it the centerpiece of the garden.
What made this image difficult to paint is that it’s made up of many small patches of colors, there aren’t any large shapes of solid color that can be quickly painted in. I handled the complicated shadow pattern by painting the color of the gravel first and then painting the lines of the shadows over it. Any mistakes were corrected by working back over the shadows with the original gravel color. My favorite part of the painting are the tiny red flowers in the distance, they provide some contrast with the abundance of green foliage.

From the Historical Marker:
The stately, 52-room mansion was completed in 1902 by Joy Morton, oldest son of J. Sterling and Caroline Morton. The Mortons' first home in Nebraska, a log cabin at Bellevue, was built on their arrival in December 1854. Sometime between 1855 and 1858, Mortons moved to Nebraska City and built a frame home, which was remodeled periodically. After his father died in 1902,Joy inherited the frame house and further remodeled and enlarged it as Arbor Lodge to its present size and Neo-colonial appearance.
For 20 years, Joy and his family used the lodge as a summer retreat. In 1923 he donated it to the State of Nebraska to be preserved as a monument to his parents.
J. Sterling Morton and his wive Caroline were natures lovers, and it isn't surprising that soon after completing their first home on a treeless tract west of Nebraska City that they set to work adorning their surroundings with trees, shrubs, and an orchard. while Morton's contributions to politics, journalism, and industry were not inconsiderable, he is known to the world primarily as the founder of Arbor Day.
Note: This is not a "selective color" B&W shot; it is a full color shot (with the color saturation even bumped up a bit). It's just that on that day, everything in sight (besides the lights) was some shade of black, gray, or white! So far this year, we’ve had a very mild Winter, but now that Christmas is at hand, I’ve looked through my shots from previous Winters for images that remind me of Christmas Cards. "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!" (The odd shaped object dangling inside the top of the arbor is a bronze wind-chime bell; during the Summer, it gets replaced with a hummingbird feeder!) Please note: my app (which I really like) for adding a frame to my shots somehow substitutes the date that the frame was added in place of the date the shot was actually taken. In reality, this photo was taken on 2/04/2010, using a Canon PowerShot A1000-IS.

Rehearsals for the Ann Arbor Dance Classics 2018 Recital on Thursday June 14th, 2018. Well...from half the rehearsal. The power was out and we managed the run about half of the dances with a laptop and the emergency lighting on the stage. Oh well, the show must go on! The recitals will be held on Friday June 15th and Saturday June 16th, 2018 at Saline High School (Saline, Michigan). These are photos from my perch on Stage Right - stage managing again.

My Dad brought this arbor home from an old farmyard many, many years ago. It must be about 80 or 90 years old. This is the second place it has been in our yard and when he was setting it here I kept telling him it wasn't straight and he said there was no way this thing was ever going to stand straight again. It even has the original cedar shingles on the roof. We walk under it every time we go to the veggie garden.
