Tulip Time
Vibrant tulips in shades of white, yellow, red, and orange bloom during Tulip Time in Pella, IA.
This is a photo I found on my hard drive from a springtime visit to Pella a few years ago. If you like photographing flowers, Tulip Time in Pella offers a spectacular display of color and variety. This year, Tulip Time in Pella is May 2nd through the 4th.

Lake Awakening
A serene sunrise casts a warm glow over the water, with the sun hovering slightly above the horizon. The Kewaunee, WI lighthouse is silhouetted against the bright sky at the end of the long pier.
This is an image I resurrected from my archives. This scene was captured June 6, 2015. It’s the sky that makes this an appealing image for me. This was taken from the beach.

Should Be A Postcard
The lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin stands in bold silhouette before a summer Lake Michigan sunrise. A glorious morning to photograph one of my favorite subjects.
This photo was taken in September of 2015 and has managed to go unnoticed on my hard drive…until today.

Fire From Below
This spectacular August sunrise colored the sky behind the Kewaunee lighthouse and pier. Kewaunee, Wisconsin is a small town, located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
This is a panoramic shot of about three separate photos joined (stitched) together to create a wide-view image. This photo was taken on August 31, 2019. I just discovered it in my archives. I did post another image taken this same morning I titled, “Awaking the Calm.” (Click the title to see that one.)
This is not the greatest image because it was taken when it was still pretty dark – much darker than what this photos represents. I had to remove a lot of digital “noise” and pull back the saturation. You can see a larger version of it by clicking on the image. If you look closely at the larger image you will see boats in the water (to the right of the lighthouse) and fishermen on the pier.
Angel in the Works
Here’s a happy photography accident. To me, it looks like an angel in white showed up to take part in the festivities during the fireworks display above the harbor at Kewaunee, Wisconsin. This image was captured during their July 3rd celebration of Independence Day 2023.
This is not any kind of photo magic. This is the way the separate rocket bursts were recorded. Love the colors.

Poppin’ Fresh
This is the first poppy bloom of our 2023 spring. My wife has a small patch of poppies in a flower bed next to our house. Every year they produce a beautiful, but short-lived display of bright orange blossoms. (It dropped its petals within 3 days.)
To view a larger, full screen version of this image, click on the photo. The detail of the flower’s center is well worth the click.

Enigma’s Eye
This was a intriguing burst of light – part of the July 4th Fireworks Display over Manistique, Michigan. Something about the color and tone of this single burst is very appealing to me. The little dots of light, like starts, add a very welcome accent to the frame.
You really should click on the photo to see the larger, more detailed version of this photo. I find it mesmerizing – but then, I’m a sucker for fireworks.

Orange Poppy Down
One of the aspects I enjoy with photography is capturing different perspectives. This is an orange poppy that was drenched by an early morning rain. The rain pushed the bloom downward, leaving some moisture on the delicate, paper-like petals.
We have a few poppy plants in a flower bed next to our house that bloom every spring. The bloom doesn’t last nearly enough but they are quite lovely while they are showing. I’ve taken a lot of poppy picture over the years, but none quite like this. I particularly like the contrasting colors of vivid orange and green and the different perspective of this photo.

Lakeland Desert
The calm water, thin clouds and intense sun reminded me of a lone building stranded in the middle of a desert wasteland.
This sunrise appeared behind the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier on the western shore of Lake Michigan. This image was captured in May of 2020.

The Wild Bunch
An abundance of these daisies spring up in our back yard every year. They are a welcome, cheery sight; at least for the short season they bloom.
One of the aspects of this photo that I love are all the perfect imperfections of these wildflowers.
