Water
Path of Least Resistance
This is a smaller waterfall at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The main, larger collection of flowing water is to the right of this view. (See my previous post: The Falls at Sioux Falls)
A lot more dramatic water is flowing from the main falls (out of frame, to the right of this view) but I prefer this image. I like the way the water makes it’s path to the river, coursing around and over the rocks in the foreground.

Chill In the Air
I recently upgraded my computer and while transferring files, I discovered a number of images worthy of revisiting. (Actually, there’s a lot I’ve just not gotten around to processing.)
My typical photo outing is to go take a number of photos, download them to the computer, find my favorite, process it and post it. That leaves a lot of photos taken on the same day untouched. Many of them are worthy of posting, but I rarely get to it. This is one of those images dating back to February 17, 2013. Back then I selected and posted “Frigid Sunrise Fog” as my favorite shot.

The Falls at Sioux Falls
These are the water falls you will find in the center of South Dakota’s largest city – Sioux Falls. They created a very nice park along the river that feeds the falls. It seems to be the hub of many activities.
I was able to grab this and a few other nice images of these falls while on a recent visit.

Soaking In The Shimmer
As we were hiking along the banks of Baird Creek in Green Bay, Wisconsin I spooked a small frog that dove for the water. It surfaced a moment later near a large rock. As it sat there, I was able to snap several photos.
This is my favorite photo from that hike. The reflection of the overcast sky on the rippling water created a very cool, shimmering effect. I didn’t expect this. It was a happy accident. The water seemed clear to my naked eye, but the camera picked up the refelection.
You can fill your screen with the cool shimmer by simply clicking on the photo. You’ll get a better look at the frog, too. It’s eyes are pretty neat.

Baird Creek Bed
This is a summertime view of Baird Creek – a natural treasure that winds through northeast Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I took this photo while on a recent hike along one of the well-kept nature trails that accompany the creek. It’s a great place to get out into nature while still in the city.

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.

Big Harry Fireworks Display
This is an unusual fireworks capture from the Fireworks display on July 3rd in Kewaunee, WI. This is one of my favorite perspectives of the Kewaunee show – from the west end of the harbor.
There’s a lot I like about this image. The fireworks burst is has an unusual color and flow. I love the reflections on the harbor. If you look closely, you will see a few tiny white dots. They are stars in the night sky. And, of course, the Tug Ludington all lit up in the foreground. Also note the bluish dot above the water near the middle of the photo. That is the light from the Kewaunee lighthouse.

Turbulent Time
It was a blustery, November afternoon and the wind and waves were kicking up quite a fuss at the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Superior Gems
These are some of the beautiful rocks on the shore of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. You’ll notice the effects of sunlight through the ripples as these were photographed in about 6 inches of water.
I took a similar photo many years ago and it was always one of my favorites. I’ve wanted to get back there and get more photos so, on a recent get-a-way to the UP, we made a trip to the beach at Grand Marais, MI. 
I spent a long time trying to photograph through the water, in between the waves, to catch a calm enough moment when the waves wouldn’t obscure the beauty but the ripples would cast their magical spell over the rocks.
It was one of the most restful and enjoyable parts of our trip. We spent a good deal of time just sitting on the rocky beach, looking a rocks and enjoying the sunshine. My wife took a photo of me with her smart phone camera – catching me in action.

Kewaunee Sparkles
Fireworks light up the night sky over the Kewaunee, WI harbor. The Tug Ludington, a tourist attraction and permanent resident of the harbor, was a quiet observer.
One of my photographic joys is capturing fireworks. Kewaunee is a couple of miles from my home, so I try to make their annual display. I’ve photographed their fireworks from a number of locations over the years but this spot, at the edge of the harbor is one of my favorites. I love the reflection from the calm water. The tug adds a nice point of interest.
