When my Eyad gets here in August, one of the things I want to do is take him to a Lake Michigan beach to watch a sunset together.
Hope you had a great week, and have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers,
Mo
I got burnt out with Thursday 13's, and it seems like all my window views lately have been of cats in windows, so I thought for a few weeks I'd bring you some of my pictures of flowers on Thursdays.
This is a daylily from my garden, when I had one.
It lasted only one day back then, but now it is immortalized on Flickr for me to share.
Enjoy,

Yesterday, I posted a sunset picture of the path leading down to Lake Michigan at Van Buren State Park. Here is another picture, taken from the same location. But this one, I used the 'fade' function in 'sepia' on Picnik on it, and the skyline turned this warm rose color. I had to save it and share it.
Below is another shot of the same path down to Lake Michigan, taken from further back on the bluff earlier the same day. The sunlight was reflecting so intensely off the water that the path seemed to just vanish into a bright light.
Enjoy,

I haven't been to the beach yet this summer. I was waiting for Eyad to come join me, so we can go together, but it seems his coming here has been delayed. Darn government Red Tape. Hopefully, in one month he will be boarding a plane and coming to me.
In the meanwhile, I've been up-loading some of my older pics to Flickr.
This is the pathway leading down to Lake Michigan at Van Buren State Park, which is located just south of South Haven, Michigan. When there is no haze in the sky, you can look north along the shore with binoculars and just make out the South Haven Pier Lighthouse on the horizon.
The beach at Van Buren State Park is one of my favorite places on earth to watch a sunset.

A couple weeks ago, I took a picture of the clock that stands in front of my store, as a storm approached. Today, after two days of record-cold July days, that were also grey and rainy, we finally have more seasonable weather for a Michigan summer: sunny and breezy and temps in the upper 70's. At least the skies are blue today, and the sunshine certainly helps put a smile on my face!
I took this picture with my cell phone cam this morning, and was going to try to edit out the crazy surrealness of the tilt and stuff, but then thought it was actually pretty appropriate for my life right now.
Still waiting, as I type this, for any word on Eyad's visa to the USA. News of that would be the best Indpendence Day treat ever. Even better than rice krispie treats or a poke cake!
Hope you have a great 4th of July Weekend. (Now I'm craving poke cake...)
Cheers,
Mo
After much deliberation, I have decided to close the online part of The Wren's Nest.
As a closing-the-website event, I have two promotional codes to use for one last shopping HURRAH!
Use code WREN2 at checkout to take $5 OFF any purchase of $20-$49
Or use code WRENZA at checkout to take $10 OFF any purchase of $50 or more.
But don't wait - these codes are only valid thru 7/10/09
Shop early for best selection. I am releasing these codes to my Blogger and Facebook friends first, before putting them up with an announcement on the website itself.
Thanks for your support over the years!
