Season Finale
This collection of fall foliage caught my attention for the diversity in form and color. The leaves were wet, which seems to bring out the best of their rich, deep colors. Even the contrast provided by the white bark of the help the colors pop.
This image is even more impressive viewed large. Click the photo and see for yourself.
Curly At Lambeau
Visitors to Lambeau Field – home of the Green Bay Packers – are greeted by larger-than-life statues of legendary coach, Vince Lombardi, and the founder, player and first coach, Curly Lambeau. (The one pictured here.) Lambeau coached the Packers for 31 years and is the one person most responsible for the existence of the Green Bay Packers franchise.
I previously posted a photo of the Vince Lombardi statue Here.

Mean Gene
Let me introduce you to Mean Gene. That’s the name on the back of his jersey. His given name is Gene Greening. I saw Gene on recent visit to Lambeau Field – home of the Green Bay Packers of NFL fame.
I had a few minutes and decided to stop in and take photos of anything that might catch my eye. Turns out, Mean Gene was the most interesting thing I encountered. With his “#1 Fan” foam finger and other stylish accessories attached to his Cheese Head, he was a standout. I asked if I could take his photo and he was kind enough to accommodate me…cheering, “Go, Pack, Go!” while waving his Packers towel. I’ll bet Gene could tell you stories and glories of many Packer seasons. Unfortunately, neither of us had time to chat – just snapped a few quick photos and went our separate ways.
I did learn, beside being the ultimate Packers fan, Mean Gene was at Lambeau that day as a volunteer. He was helping with some event for disabled veterans. It’s obvious, Gene is living up to his reputation as a true Packers Fan but I don’t think he’s succeeding in pulling off the “Mean” persona. (But, then again, I’ve never seen him on game day.)

Lombardi At Lambeau
I took a few minutes to drop by Lambeau Field – home of the Green Bay Packers – and snapped this image at the entrance to the Atrium. The imposing bronze statue in the foreground is the likeness of legendary Packers coach, Vince Lombardi. The statue, itself, is 14 feet tall, on a four pedestal, resting on three foot stair base. This image was taken in the early evening, in early December. (Notice the wreaths and snowflake decorations in the lower windows.)

Dream Boat
It was a calm but misty day for sailing on Lake Michigan off the shores of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The light fog gave this boat a mysterious, dream-like quality. The low bank of clouds also add interest to the background.
