The Cumberland Nature Trail, St. Vincent

What began as a search for a rare parrot became a hike through tropical green, full of guavas, old friendships, and quiet epiphanies. On the Cumberland Trail in St. Vincent, the forest didn’t give me the perfect bird photo. It gave me something better.

The glass ceiling tiles at the #BelleIsle aquarium in #Detroit were designed to give the visitor the illusion of being underwater. Designed by Albert Kahn and legendary Detroit architect George D. Mason, the aquarium opened in 1904, and after a brief closure and some updating, is now open to visitors again.
