A Night at Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore, Night, South Dakota

On our trip to South Dakota’s Black Hills, we visited Mount Rushmore.  We were sure to plan our visit for early evening so we could take part in the nightly program and lighting ceremony.  This photo was taken as we exited the Memorial.

The rows of flags leading to the monument were flags of the states and territories of the United States.  The evening ceremony and historical program they present is well worth the time. The only charge is a $10 parking fee. ($5 for seniors and free for military and veterans.)

I took a lot of photos of Mount Rushmore from various locations at the monument and around the area. You’ll see them posted here…in time.

Of course, the photo was taken in the dark and contains a boat-load of digital noise. I did my best to remove what I could but I could only do so much. (I might have to try harder.)

Baird Creek Bed

Creek, Baird Creek, Nature

This is a summertime view of Baird Creek – a natural treasure that winds through northeast Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I took this photo while on a recent hike along one of the well-kept nature trails that accompany the creek. It’s a great place to get out into nature while still in the city.

A Blessing

Rainbow, Farm House, Rural, PanoA rainbow arches over our rural, northeast Wisconsin home.

I happened to notice this rainbow at the very end of the day…just as the sun was setting. In truth, I was a little late to the party. A few minutes earlier and it would have been a full, arching beauty.

This is a panoramic image that required four images (stitched together) to capture the full view you see here.

The Heavens Declare


A dramatic, summer storm rolled across the skies of rural, northeast Wisconsin.

These clouds were forming for a predicted, early evening storm.  In order to capture as much of the sky in one frame, I snapped this one with my wide-angle lens at about 11mm. I wish I would have had the opportunity to set up my video camera for a time-lapse view of these clouds rolling in.

By the way, this storm really didn’t turn into much of a storm; just a bit of rain.

Frost On a Stick

Frost, Winter, Cold, Snow, In a hopeful, “Goodbye,” wave to winter, here is a photo I took a few weeks back on a cold and frosty morning.  There was a slight mist in the air before sunrise that provided the moisture for the clinging frost.  These are some dormant weeds at the edge of the farm field that borders our homestead.

Fern of Fancy

Fern, Ferns, Bracken Fern, Wood Fern, Green, Forest, Woods, Woodland
This fern, found in the woodlands of northeast Wisconsin, was in the final stages of unfurling. In the spring these ferns sprout from the ground and go through the process of spreading their highly divided leaves.

The delicate curl you see at the ends of the fronds will soon straighten out. These ferns can quickly take over an area of forest floor when they are growing in favorable conditions.

Vestibule Glass

Religious, Religion, Stained Glass, Stained Glass Window, Jesus

This is the remarkable stained glass window that graces the vestibule of the Centerburg Christian Church in Centerburg, OH. This small town church, established in 1897, is filled with beautiful, hand painted, stained glass from early last century.

I’m a big fan of good stained glass. This particular type of stained glass – where much of it was actually hand-painted – is the best. This church features some very large stained glass windows.  You can view one of the larger ones I posted earlier ,here – I Stand At The Door And Knock.

Winter Coat

Snow, Plant, Fluffy, Winter, Cold
A fresh coat of fluffy snow blanketed these dormant plants…and everything else in the woods after a recent storm.

Without the coating of snow, these plants wouldn’t earn my attention. Sometimes bringing two ordinary elements together creates something extraordinary. Keep your eyes open and your camera ready.

Winter Warm Spot

Winter, Snow, Sunrise, Sunburst, Trees, Woods

In a very cold world, the sun offers a ray of hope. This comforting spot was found the morning after a recent storm that coated everything with beautiful, fluffy snow.

I captured this image just after sunrise at a spot near our rural home in NE Wisconsin. Of course, I had to get off the beaten path and tromp through the snow to grab this view.

My favorite feature of this image is the sunlight (and subsequent shadows) on the ground.

Lombardi Trophy Lineup at Packers Hall of Fame

Vince Lombardi Trophy, Packers Hall of Fame, Green Bay
This is the display of Vince Lombardi Trophies at the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame located at Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin.

A Vince Lombardi Trophy is awarded each year to the winning team of the National Football League’s championship game, the Super Bowl. The trophy is named in honor of legendary NFL coach Vince Lombardi.

I grabbed this image on a visit to the Packers Hall of Fame in September of 2015.  It’s been lying dormant on my computer’s hard drive since then just waiting for some attention.  Today, being the Season Opener for the Packers, I thought it would be a good time to process and post it.  You’ll notice, there is plenty of room for more of these in the Packers Hall of Fame.
