Around These Parts


Growing up on the Yorkshire Wolds meant walking hills became second nature to me, now living in south east Michigan the only hill we have in our city is man made and in the local park. Kids love the hill - they all go, climb up and sledge down in the winter months when there's been some snow. For the rest of the months walking up to the top offers a different terrain for runners and walkers alike with some great views of the cities bordering ours. Don't be fooled by the depth and the blueness of the Michigan early cloudless spring morning skies - they can be as bitterly cold in the wind as any day in Winter but it's nice being able to somewhat feel the warmth of the sun and the promise of warmer days to come.

  1. I hope your temperatures start warming up soon and I would definitely take some walks on that hill too!

  4. Lovely photos, I especially love the one of the birds' nest!
    I'd miss hills so much if I lived somewhere where they were lacking.
