52 Frames - Week 26: Wabi Sabi - Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic and philosophical concept that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity.
Wabi-sabi combines two interrelated ideas: wabi, which emphasizes a humble, austere beauty and the appreciation of simplicity even in modest or materially sparse circumstances, and sabi, which highlights the beauty that emerges with age, wear, and the passage of time
Together, they form a worldview that values the natural flow of life, the acceptance of transience, and the charm of imperfection.
Miller's Big Red Apple - U Pick
Big Red Apple Orchard, located on 32 Mile Road near Romeo, Michigan, has a rich history spanning over a century. The property’s roots trace back to the 1870s, when Jacob Hosner emigrated to Macomb County.
In 1982, Bernard and Jane Miller from Sterling Heights bought the orchard and renamed it Miller’s Big Red Apple Orchard. The Millers had a background in fruit production—Bernard’s father had planted apple trees during the Depression—and they expanded from garage sales to a full orchard operation, adding plums, pears, peaches, and more apple varieties.
The orchard continued under various owners, evolving into a family-run U-Pick and cider mill.
By 2023, the property was sold & restored the historic cider mill and launched the Crimson Hills Event Center for weddings and gatherings.
