Foto Friday - Grand Rapids Michigan Christmas Traditions
Yes, we have snow in Grand Rapids Michigan already. It came right after Thanksgiving
this year and it gives every scene a holiday touch.
We were at Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park this morning. It has a fresh
blanket of white which softens the landscape and decorates nature with a deft hand.
In contrast, the tropical garden inside is abloom with orchids and other tropical plants.
