Fall Leaf Patterns
The color of this little autumn woodland scene caught my eye. The lines and textures of the leaves kept my interest. The little stem that supported these leaves was covered with tiny thorns.

New Beginnings
This is a springtime image – new growth on young trees. I took this photo last spring in some woods near our home. I added a bit of texture to it, adding some visual interest.

Fall Family Outing
“Your children are the greatest gift God will give to you, and their souls the heaviest responsibility He will place in your hands. Take time with them, teach them to have faith in God. Be a person in whom they can have faith. When you are old, nothing else you’ve done will have mattered as much.”
― Lisa Wingate
Honing my Family Portrait skills. I thought the family seemed pretty relaxed for this one. I also thought the setting, with the river running through the background, was relaxing, too.

Epic Spiral Stairway
Things are looking up. (Well, I was, anyway.) This is a view of a unique spiral stairway with my wife and son looking down at me. (Probably thinking, “Can we go now? How many more pictures are you going to take?”)
These are photos I took a couple of years ago as we toured the company my son works for – Epic in Verona, WI. They specialize in software for the medical industry. They have a very cool campus with buildings that tend to be theme oriented, accented with unique architecture, sculpture and artwork. Plenty of cool stuff to point a camera at.
All these images are looking up at the same stairway from different angles.

Floral Fancy
The object isn’t to make art, it’s to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
― Robert Henri
I am often amazed at the wealth of creativity in our world. I am awed at how someone can create something useful, interesting, provocative, beautiful and captivating that never would have entered my mind were I given the same materials and opportunity.
This sculpture of metal and glass is an example. You may, or may not, find it appealing but you can’t deny the incredible creativity of the artist who created it.
I found and photographed this art in the hallway of a major software company. I added a little bit of shading and texture to the blue wall.
If you look closely, you can see my reflection in the colorful glass ball that rests at the center of the flower.

Frosty Treatment
A cold, damp autumn morning left it’s frosty, calling card on these dried weeds.

A mother and father’s wedding rings look huge when placed on the toes of their newborn son.
During our first photo op, our son and daughter-in-law placed their wedding rings on the toes of Samuel – their first child, our first grandchild. Sammy was 1 week old at the time of this photo.

Poppy Buds
Another image from the flowerbed. This is a healthy a patch of poppy buds. They are probably still a week or so away from blooming.

The morning light had an unusual quality over a calm Lake Michigan, accentuated by a sky of interesting clouds.

Lower Level Sprites
The sprites have their own interpretative dance party at the bottom of a lighted stairway on the campus of Epic in Verona, Wisconsin.
This photo was taken as we toured the huge Epic campus – led by our son, who works for the major software company. Epic is the world leader in software for mid-size and large medical groups, hospitals and integrated healthcare organizations.
