Buzz By Here – To Infinity and Beyond!

Bumble, Bee, Flowers, Bokeh, Honey Bee, Bumble Bee, Flight

This portly bumble bee looks as though he’s heading off past the flowers, into infinity, intent on some important bee mission. No doubt, for his honey. (You’ve got to award style points for that perfect form.)

White Crowned Sparrow

Sparrow, White Crowned Sparrow, Bird, Cute, Sitting, Brown

This is my White Crowned Sparrow friend.  I call him my friend because he seemed to like hanging around with me.

I was at the Algoma marina photographing the lighthouse and sunrise when I noticed something moving along the ground. It turned out to be this sparrow.  I made note of him and went about my business, moving along the marina wall to get various shots.  It seemed, no matter where I moved, this white crowned sparrow was never more than a few feet away; always skittering along the ground.

Needless to say, I turned my camera in his direction a few times that morning. I’ve been back to the marina many times since, but haven’t seen my friend or his like again. (You can view another photo of this bird posted previously HERE)

Dramatic Calm

Algoma Lighthouse, Sunrise, Lake Michigan, Clouds, Landscape

Lots of gold-tone goodness in this one.  The sun has just come up over a calm Lake Michigan, but is being obscured and filtered by clouds.  This, of course, is the lighthouse that stands ever vigilant at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.

The soft tone of the sky relaxes you, but the clouds add a bit of dramatic tension at the same time.

Deptford Pink

Deptford Pink, Wildflower, Purple, Flower, Bloom, Petals Beautiful

I’m having daydreams about spring things…in the middle of a Wisconsin winter.

The name of this wildflower is Deptford Pink.  It get’s its name from an area of England where this species was once common.

I snapped this one last summer in central Wisconsin.

Benches

Benches, Bench, Park, B&W, Monochrome
Last summer we attended “Family Camp” at Green Lake Conference Center at Green Lake, Wisconsin. While roaming the rounds between meetings, the pattern of these benches caught my eye.

I’ll admit, this is one of those images that you either like or not.  To tell you the truth, I’m not sure which camp I fall into.  I do think it’s interesting but I’m not sure I’d want to frame it and hang it on a wall. (Maybe with the right frame…on the right wall… )

Tidal Moon

Moon Rise, Moonrise, Full Moon, Moon, Lighthouse, Algoma, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan

A late-summer full moon rises over Lake Michigan, just behind the pier and lighthouse at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.

I captured this image on September 30, 2012.  I remember it was a late Sunday afternoon when the Green Bay Packers were playing the New Orleans Saints.  It was a close game and I debated whether to miss it and hope for a good photo or just stay home and finish watching the game.  I listened to it on the radio as I drove to Algoma, but I missed the end of the game because I was out near the beach taking photos.

When I got back to my van, I heard the Packers won 28 to 27.  I hated to miss the game, but I’m glad I did.  Full moon photos like this don’t come along every day.

Stylin Duck

Duck, Stretch, Wing, Stance, Brown, Blue, Pops Digital

This duck wasn’t content to be photographed in a normal duck squat.  She wanted to show off one of her more stylish features.

This wasn’t a momentary stretch.  I have several frames of her posing like this.  She wasn’t warming herself in the sun either, because the skies were overcast. She is standing on the edge of a small waterfall at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay, WI.

Floral Prose

Red, Flowers, Texture, Pops Digital, Bill Pevlor

Every now and then I try something different. These flowers brightened up one of the flowerbeds in our yard last summer.  I took the photo and added a texture for a different effect.

I think I need to work more on textures.  Stay tuned.
