I live in a city where sweeping views of Lake Superior are constant. This place is bowled over with giant, steep hills and large, glorious stretches of natural, tree and creek-saturated spans. The big stuff is certainly beautiful, but what a pity to forget the small treasures! Take a closer look at certain times of year and you will find micro gems like these lily of the valleys–-delicate, little bells, thriving in the shadows of something bigger, yet packing such an intoxicating punch with their sweet scent. Treasures, indeed!
