Embrace of the Sun

One of the things I like to do is catch the sun peeking from behind the Algoma, WI lighthouse.  I took this image last Sunday morning on my way to church.  The sun is rising pretty early in these parts right now.  This photo was snapped around 5:55 am.

More clouds in the sky would have made this a more interesting image for me.  The one thing I do like – and the reason I think it’s worthy of sharing – is the way the sun seems to reach around the lighthouse.  The rays remind me of  arms reaching around to gently, warmly caress the lighthouse. A good morning hug!

I’ve isolated and enlarged the lighthouse to give you a better view of the sun’s embrace. (Right)

The Daffodil

Flower, Yellow, DaffodilIs there any flower so bright and perky as the Daffodil?  One of the first to bloom…and whither in spring.

My good friend, Tood Lohenry, recently asked me why he couldn’t find any daffodils within my photo galleries.  That was a good question. Last Saturday, I spotted some nice daffodils on someone’s lawn in Algoma, WI and snapped a few – photographically speaking.

Spring Enchantment

The sunset and high clouds created a magical moment of enchanting color.

This was taken last Saturday in the farm field across the road from our rural Kewaunee, WI home.  I have taken many photos of this tree because it offers some interest and perspective to the beautiful sunsets we can experience.  I often wish there was an old barn or a little white chapel between me an the sunset.  Until something else pops up, the tree will have to do.

Love’s Vortex

Red Rose, Rose, Petals“It is at the edge of the petal that love waits.” ~ William Carlos Williams

There is no other flower that so vividly conveys love, beauty and passion as a red rose. I can easily be mesmerized by the delicate symmetry of a well-formed rose. The swirl of this one’s petals seem to lure you, helplessly, into its center.  I spent quite a while gazing upon it…and photographing it from every angle.  This is the view I like most.

This is dedicated to the one I love…a woman most worthy of such beauty… my wife, Sara.  We are celebrating 18 years of wonderful marriage. (No exaggeration. Ours is a match made in heaven. You will never encounter a more perfect marriage or solid love. I am greatly blessed!)

Grass Mustache

It’s springtime in Wisconsin. As the grass is greening up the little critters are also returning to life.  On a walk a few weeks ago, I was surprised to find this fuzzy guy already out. It seemed unusual enough to me that I thought a picture was in order.

I’ve studied this photo and can’t figure out which end is the head.

Foggy Boardwalk Blues

Early morning fog kept the lampposts lit well beyond the time of sunrise along the Crescent Beach boardwalk at Algoma, WI.  In fact, this image was captured about ten minutes after the sun had come up.

I posted a similar, monochrome version a week ago (seen on the right).  The B&W version seems more like a night scene, even though these images were taken within a few minutes of each other.

I like both of these images.  Each have their own appealing aspects.  I might give a slight edge to the B&W version.

The Indianhead

Neon Sign, Sign, Neon, Red,When people ask what kind of photographer I am – meaning landscape, portrait, wildlife, etc. – I typically respond by saying, “I just photograph whatever catches my eye.”

On a recent getaway to celebrate our upcoming wedding anniversary, Sara and I stumbled upon the Indianhead Motel.  We thought the neon sign was very cool…so much so, that we stayed the night.   The Indianhead Motel is located in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin (pop. 13,661).

If you’re wondering why Chippewa Falls may sound familiar, it’s because it is the birth place and hometown of the fictional characters Jack Dawson in the movie Titanic, Grand Slam of G.I. Joe, Dr. Jennifer Keller in the science fiction series Stargate Atlantis and the title character of Annie Hall.

By the way, the accommodations were acceptable and quite reasonable, but not as cool as the sign.

Future Bleeding Hearts

New life is springing up all around our place…finally.  I had stepped outside to snap a view of the sunset and, as I often do, just walked around our yard with my camera.  The vibrant color of this new growth on the bleeding heart plants in our flower bed caught my eye.

Eventually the buds you see in the large photo above will produce flowers like the ones shown on the right.
