Comforting Shoulder
My wife, Sara, holds and comforts the newest grandchild at 10-days old. You can tell, in grandmas arms, she is in perfect peace.

Baby Girl
A young father relaxes with his infant daughter. This is our son, Aaron, with week-old daughter, Eva.
I debated over whether to post the color version of this shot or stick with the sepia you see. I think the seriousness of Aaron’s face (he was watching TV) made the monochrome image more effective.
Sullenly
The clouds and mist rising from Lake Michigan created a sullen scene at the Kewaunee, Wisconsin pier and lighthouse.
This was one of the last images I snapped on a very cold (below zero) morning of shooting. I’d been out there a lot longer than I would have thought – about an hour and forty-five minutes – but I found plenty to point my camera at. I was the only one braving the elements that morning. All of the footprints you see in the snow were made by me.
I had decided to call it a morning, was dismantling my equipment, folding my tripod and packing up to head home. I looked back over my shoulder and noticed the shadows from the tree and it drew me back for a few more minutes.

Paparazzi In the Grass
The early morning sunlight reflecting off the dew on a spring lawn created an effect that reminded me of dozens of flash bulbs going off. The Paparazzi must have been hiding in the grass. I hear they’re tricky that way.
A year ago, I posted a color image with a similar perspective: Lawn Twinklers.

Age of Discovery
I love the look of serious concentration on his face. He was crawling along the carpet and paused for moment of personal discovery. It was 15-seconds of intense study and then off to the next curiosity.

Look of Innocence
Is there anything more innocent than a young child. This is our grandson. He was sitting in the hallway, looking up at someone in the doorway. Don’t you love that cowlick?

Dream Boat
It was a calm but misty day for sailing on Lake Michigan off the shores of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The light fog gave this boat a mysterious, dream-like quality. The low bank of clouds also add interest to the background.
Feel free to leave your own thoughts below.

Lonley One
I was out taking photos of a field of sunflowers and noticed this single stem of chicory growing on the edge of the road. The morning light seemed to enhance its solitary presence.

Powerful Peace
Yesterday morning, I was at the lakeshore to capture a sunrise. The thick clouds keep the sun from view…until…
The bright sun finds it’s way through the heavy cloud cover over Lake Michigan as fishermen troll near the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier.

Homestead Fog
We’ve had a number of foggy mornings. On one of those mornings, I took my camera out into the field behind our house and snapped a few. The foreground of chopped corn stalks adds something to the scene – I think a bit depressing.
