Morning Charms
This is a similar shot to one I posted last week. This is the upper part of the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse. The previous post (Wisps of Light) was cropped a little closer and left the lighthouse as a silhouette. This one offers a little more sky and a little more detail of the lighthouse.
Sunny Delight
Everyone loves sunflowers. There is just something about their bright, cheery disposition that even a cloudy day can’t dampen. A full field of them is sheer delight!
We’ve had some dreary, gray days – weather wise – recently. I thought a sunflower image would be a welcome sight. This field of sunflowers was found in our area of rural Kewaunee County, WI.

Golden Awakening
Yeah, that bright yellow disc is the rising sun overpowering the low clouds over Lake Michigan. The lighthouse at Algoma,WI stands by as a silent witness.
My favorite aspect of this image is the soft texture of golden-yellow clouds in the upper part of the photo.
It looks even better when it’s bigger. To see a larger version, just click on the photo.
Wisps of Light
I’ve taken a lot of photos of the Kewaunee lighthouse, but none like this. This was a pre-sunrise shot focusing on the light of the lighthouse. The morning sky provided a dramatic background.
I have another, similar shot where the lighthouse isn’t all shadow. I’ll post it in a couple of days.
To get a better view of the lens on that light, click the photo. Feel free to share with friends.
Day’s End Elm
Cloudy Disposition
The distinctive, two-part pier of the Algoma, WI lighthouse stretches into Lake Michigan and a moody morning sky.
Those who have followed my photography will realize this is taken from a different location than I usually shoot the pier and lighthouse. Usually I’m somewhere on the southern side. From a southern angle, the pier looks like one solid protrusion. From this angle, you can see there’s a gap in the pier.

Bright Future
Here’s an image from my Thanksgiving weekend. While everyone at my home is taking advantage of the holiday by sleeping in, I’m trying to capture an image worth posting on this blog.
This is a shot of the sun rising over Lake Michigan, beyond the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse. The waters were rough and the pier was wet which gave a little bit of color to the normally drab, concrete pier.

Waiting for Winter
Classical Glass
For now we see as through a glass darkly, but then, face to face. 1 Corinthians 13:12
A lot of my photography features colorful sunrises, sweeping landscapes, images of birds, bees and other glimpses of natural beauty. But, in reality, I just click the shutter whenever something catches my eye. That’s the reason for this photo.
This was a display of stemware on a department store shelf. The shapes, the light, the reflections, the refractions…all caught my eye.
This photo might not make a pretty postcard, but it’s an image I find very appealing.
