THOUGHTS REGARDING TREES & REAL ESTATE
Trees. I believe most people take them for granted, and not many seem to bother learning about the different types surrounding them every day. I've been interested in them ever since I bought my first home in the country near Watervliet about 20 years ago, when I suddenly owned hundreds of them. I frequently photograph them.

A Room With A View
You can change most anything about your home. With enough time and money, you can transform it from a neglected basket case to a show stopper. You can give it a new look and feel, inside and out. But one thing you can't change is the location. And since location is such a vital part of home ownership (think: neighbors, taxes and traffic), choosing the right location is supremely important.
But have you considered the view? What you see outside your window every day can impact not only your mood but also how you feel about living in your home. Here in Southwest Michigan, many of us look out at orchards, fields, woods or water. With this abundance of natural beauty, we can co...
