Rambling Wild Beauty
These delicate white flowers are a version of a Wild Rose. This plant was found on a hike through the woods of northwest Missouri. Don’t you love the pink bud?

The Sausage Grinder
This is a creepy toy I spotted in the famous Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. The mansion is now more of a museum and this was in one of the children’s rooms. The sausage grinder wouldn’t be creepy on its own, but set that clown next to it….yikes!
It’s a little disturbing to think little children probably had fun playing with these toys. It’s just evidence of how perceptions and taste and culture change over time.

Doc’s Nose
This is a close-up of Doc’s nose. Doc is the name painted on the side of this historic aircraft; a vintage Boeing B-29 Superfortress. If you look closely, you can just barely see a painting of Doc, the character the plane is named for from Disney’s animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
This is an HDR image (three bracketed shots) that helped bring out the darker, interior of the aircraft. I find the intricate glass on the nose and metal frame a very cool design. I also like the way you can see reflections of people and surroundings in the polished stainless steel body of the aircraft. The polished metal surface and unique design elements highlight the historical significance of the airplane.
You can read about the history of this plane and the story of its restoration here: The B-29 Doc Story.

Multiple Streams
The South Falls at Silver Falls State Park waterfall cascades over a rocky cliff into a tranquil pool below, surrounded by lush greenery. The sun, filtered through tall trees, did a nice job of illuminating the mist in the air. The state park where you can find this, and a number of other waterfalls, is located outside Portland, Oregon.
The title, Multiple Streams, is a reference to the stream of water flowing off the cliff, the sunlight streaming through the trees and the rocky stream bed in the foreground.

Invasion of The Thing from Outer Space
This is a fireworks display in Manistique, Michigan on the 3rd of July of 2022. My wife and I were in the U.P. for a little getaway. While there, we took in the fireworks celebration on the eve of Independence Day.
The title might seem a bit “out there” but I look at this photo and just think it looks like some strange creature with tentacles is coming to attack this quiet village.
I find the tone and color combination in this image very appealing. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Honorine Jobert Anemone
The Honorine Jobert Anemone is a delicate white flower with orange anthers surrounding a spherical green center (ovule). They bloom in the fall.
This particular patch was incorporated into the landscaping at the Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon. I visited there is October of 2022.

Hanging Tapestry
An owl eye butterfly rests on a branch, displaying the intricate patterns and eye-like spots on its wings. To me, is a beautiful artwork of pattern and color – like a detailed tapestry. This is one of the many varieties of butterflies cultivated and displayed at the Butterfly Palace in Branson, Missouri.

Joined at the Hip
Four Thunderbirds F-16 fighter jets fly in a tight formation against a backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. The Thunderbirds, a flight demonstration unit of the United States Air Force, were performing at the Sound of Speed Airshow at Rosecrans Memorial Airport in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Sandhill in a Farm Field
This Sandhill Crane was foraging through a northeast Wisconsin farm field, with its companion. This photo was taken in the fall, when their plumage is mostly gray. In the spring an summer, they appear more brown.
Sandhill cranes became regular inhabitants in our area of rural Wisconsin. I took this photo while walking along the road near my house. It was common in the fall to have dozens flocking and foraging in the fields around our house. Very shy birds in that setting. They were hard to photograph because they would take to flight if I tried to get close. I caught these two with a 300mm lens and had to enlarge the digital image quite a bit to be able to see any detail.

US Post Office – Atchison, KS
The Atchison, KS Post Office is a historic stone building with round towers and arched windows stands prominently at the corner of 7th Street and Kansas Avenue.
According to the Visit Atchison Kansas Facebook Page – “Built in 1894, the Atchison Post Office is one of the most magnificent post offices in the Midwest. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was dedicated in honor of Atchison native, Amelia Earhart in 2018. The building still remarkably resembles how it looked over a hundred years ago.”
I took a few shots of this and other historic buildings in Atchison on a visit back in September.
