Mary Scramlin, of Courtland Township, sent us photos she took of the lovely trillium and bluebells in Aman Park, west of Grand Rapids, in Ottawa County.

“I love nature. It speaks to me in ways nothing else can,” said Mary, “and taking photos helps me really pay attention to details I normally wouldn’t see. When I took the bluebell photos I also saw a family of owls—that was really special. But I didn’t have a long lens along to get good photos and the mother was very insistent I leave the area, so I did!”

Thanks, Mary, for the beautiful photos!
