You have reached a quiet bamboo grove, where you will find an eclectic mix of nature, music, writing, and other creative arts. Tao-Talk is curated by a philosophical daoist who has thrown the net away.
Older son and I met up with younger son, his wife, and the grandbaby at Meijer Gardens. A perfect day to spend time with family at a place I never get tired of visiting. It is a jewel of the region. Thank you Meijer Family and all of the donors and members for making it is what it is.

Kerfe! Hi! Glad you like the pics. The leaves were almost two-toned or maybe it was how the light fell on them. Both the fern and the tree are in the tropical giant greenhouse.
Christian, it is like a sanctuary for me, a place to step away from troubles and simply enjoy. That one is a “mini” Calder. GR has a big one downtown. Me too on spending time with family. :)
This lovely park reminds me of two places that I’ve visited. One the Hershey Gardens (that also has a butterfly house) and also of a small state park in Florida – I have some photos of that place with lovely egrets and heron too.

Such great photos! I especially like the last one, and I’m fascinated by the leaves on that fern. (K)
