My friends Hubert Sawyers III of Tweetea and Becks Davis of Detroit Moxie organized a wonderful event last night for a group of us social media devotees to tour The Edsel & Eleanor Ford House.
Photography is only allowed on the grounds, not inside the house that was designed by Albert Kahn to resemble a cluster of Cotswold village cottages. Here’s me doing my best to pretend for the camera that I live there! Jens Jensen designed this, at the time, modern landscape. I tried to capture the incredible beauty with my camera.

the lagoon that once was connected to Lake St. Clair…
slate roof with stone shingles and leaded glass windows…
the lake shore view…
