Upper Silver Lake

Upper Silver Lake, July 2010

Jessica and I were driving around western Michigan and visiting a familiar site: Silver Lake and its impressive sand dunes. But then we went wandering around the town’s back roads and found another small lake just a bit inland–it’s called Upper Silver Lake and while it is a private, upscale vacation area it lacks the bustling and exciting vibe of the area around Silver Lake (with its dramatic sand dunes separating it from Lake Michigan) in the summer time.

Along the bike trail (on a more elevated part of the way) in the Rocky River Reservation, Jessica and I saw a rock formation with a well-camouflaged toad sitting on it.

Jessica’s 31st birthday

We had a very fun surprise birthday party for Jessica at Sweet Melissa’s in Rocky River–I took her out and her friends were waiting at a table but she had no idea they’d be there.

On her actual birthday, Jessica opened presents from family, and Belle and Sparty (our parakeets) and I wished her happy birthday on video:

As I have struggled to cope with the loss of my much-loved birds Ava and Striker, I have been consoled by the many nice things people have said about them, and how much they inspired me–this photo makes me think about how I always loved capturing their beautiful greens with my camera.

Jessica went to a Cleveland Cavaliers game on Feb. 9 when they played the New Jersey Nets. She took this shot, and also took a photo in which Lebron James faces the camera with the ball.

San Francisco mini-trip

On our way to our honeymoon in Maui in September, Jessica and I stopped in San Francisco. Our brief stay was memorable because of all the old memories that we have together in that city–and for the new ones that we made there!
