I’m Lisa. I’m a copy editor and I live part-time in the Detroit suburbs and part-time on Lake Michigan’s shoreline. I take pictures, I write, I dream.
Both sumac and milkweed grow wild and plentiful in the fields and meadows and along the roadways where my family cottage is on Lake Michigan. I grew up loving the deep red of sumac and breathing in the heady scent of the milkweed’s flowers in summer and then blowing its umbrella-ed seeds across the meadow in fall. I love wild things and hope to honor them in my writing and photography.
I dream of sumac and milkweed (and other wild things) 
Your photography is beautiful and I look forward to your new posts.

“An apple for a dollar”
All letters of my name are silent.
The Net turns lonelier day by day
As our voices drown in the hum
Of our others’ voices.
I dream about simpler times —
Of wilderness, of weeds;
Of distant past so distant
It may well be my distant future.
Tune in to solar wind of Destiny!
Etheric crackling on all bands:
Radio scales still bear names of cities —
Like maps of yore with roads and leylines —
Gone long ago, with every letter silent.

If you are ever in Vermont, be sure to let me know. My wife and I are both writers and photographers and know where the best places are to take pictures and collect story ideas.

Once you visit enough times, you’ll want to move here. At least that’s what happened to me and my wife. Vermont is beautiful!

I imagine so. I feel the same about the Lake Michigan shoreline in western Michigan. It’s my heart and soul and I can never seem to stray too far.
