Morning Rough – Kewaunee, WI Lighthouse
A view of the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier just before the sun rises over a rough Lake Michigan. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of the lake.
Stylin Duck
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
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.

Across the Harbor
A beautiful, calm morning in the harbor of Algoma, Wisconsin. Beyond the harbor, the sun is rising over Lake Michigan.
Those who follow my work know this lighthouse is one of my favorite subjects. This image was taken a few weeks ago. I’ve not had much success at catching a break when it comes to weather lately. I was there yesterday around sunrise and, again, the sky was dreary and gray.

Warming Up
The lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin awaits the warming power of the sun as it begins its rise over Lake Michigan.
This photo was taken at the end of November, so it was a pretty cool morning and, as you can see by the rough seas on the right side of the pier, it was quite windy as well.

Star Power – Sunrise
The sun was powering through the clouds as it rose above Lake Michigan beyond the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and harbor. This image was taken in late October.

Blazing in the Grass
A rising sun and early morning sky made this patch of grass look warm on a chilly Saturday morning.
I stepped outside – into the brisk, early morning air – intending to capture some images of a light cover of frost that fell the night before. The sun was just rising and provided a beautiful backdrop for the dried fall grasses.

Delicate Purples
These delicate purple flowers were a nice touch to contrast with the bright, bold orange and yellow blooms in the background.
I saw these beauties in the small flower bed near the entrance of the Algoma, WI library. Hats off to their gifted gardener(s).

Pick Your Poison
On a cool fall day, I uncovered my barbecue grill and found a large spider clinging to the grill cover. The moment I spotted it, I ran into the house…to grab my camera, of course. As I was taking photos of the spider, a wasp buzzed into the shot. (An insect photo bomb!)
I took several shots of the pair before the winged one flew off. While together, they seemed to get along just fine; no signs of tension or animosity.
I’m not sure I’ve ever photographed a more unlikely pair…a more menacing pair…a more dangerous duo.
No insects, arachnids or photographers were injured or harmed in the production of this image.

Power Point Lighthouse Sunrise
This is a Saturday morning view from the beach in Kewaunee, Wisconsin.
This particular sunrise provided a couple of nice images. You can see an image I posted from the same morning – an entirely different look – by viewing Dawn Highlights.
I used a star filter to get the effect you see here. My favorite part of this image is the sun’s reflection off that first wave in the lower right part of the image.
