Curly’s Stairway
I overheard a sad conversation the other day. A man was telling the clerk at a convenience store how he was suffering from “Football Withdrawal.” It’s an affliction affecting many people this time of year…especially those who live in the frozen tundra. Although, for Packer’s fans, the onset was a little later this year, since the Packers got to play all the way to the Super Bowl.
In these parts, when you find yourself in the grip of Football Withdrawal you can make a trip to Lambeau Field – home of the World Champion Green Bay Packers. It’s not a complete cure, but it eases the discomfort a bit. There are a variety of historic images, activities, tours, Packers Hall of Fame, the Pro Shop and Curly’s Pub.
This is a view of the stairway leading to the second level of the Lambeau Atrium where Curly’s Pub is located. The guy in the picture is, of course, Curly Lambeau – the founder and first coach of the Packers and namesake of the stadium where they play.
There’s something about this photo that really appeals to me. It’s one of my favorites. (Probably a beauty-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder kind of thing.)

Prickly Cold
On a cold, foggy morning I found these ice crystal spikes attached to the antenna of our car.
Though it looks like a Black & White image, this is actually a color photograph. The car is black, the frost is white and there didn’t happen to be any other colors in view.

Fire in the Sky
This is one of my favorite photos, taken a few years ago with my Kodak EasyShare DX7590.
My wife and I had just settled in on the sofa to watch a DVD when I noticed some color in the sky out my living room window. I had to pause the video and run outside with my camera to capture a few frames of this beauty. A wider version from the same shoot is below.
About being left on the sofa in “pause” mode, my wife simply said, “I kinda thought this was going to happen.” She knows me well.

Winter on the Shores of Algoma, WI
Winter – as presented by Algoma, WI on the morning of Sunday, February 27, 2001. As I often do, I stopped for a moment to snap a few pictures on my way to church that morning.
Algoma sits on the western shore of Lake Michigan. Beneath the snow, next to the lamppost, is a boardwalk that runs along Algoma’s Crescent Beach. In the distance you see Algoma’s harbor and famous Pier Light.
I can’t decide if I prefer this image in color or B&W (slight sepia tone) so I offer you both. Give each your consideration and and let me know which one your prefer in the comments below.
If you click on either of the images you’ll get a larger version where you can easily flip back and forth between the two.
Lady in White
Here’s another view from a slightly different angle of “The Lady in White.” As in the previous post, this scene was captured on a snowy day in the cemetery at Beaver Dam, WI. The gentle snowfall made this more beautiful and serene than the photo conveys. I’m going to have to practice more on photographing falling snow.

Snow Covered Cemetery
The serenity of this cemetery scene was enhanced by the gently falling snow. All the white dots you see are snowflakes. The camera didn’t capture them well.
These photos were taken Saturday, February 26, 2011. While driving through snow, returning from a trip to visit our son in Madison, WI, we made a pit stop in Beaver Dam. There was cemetery just off the interstate. With the gently falling snow, it seemed like an opportune time and place for some interesting images.
I tweaked the tones and contrast a bit, but nothing I could do brought out the true beauty of the above scene. Guess you had to be there.
While driving along the winding snow covered paths of the cemetery, Sara noticed the “Snow” stone. It seemed so fitting, I had to take a photo. I figure, if we could find another one that says “cold,” we might be able to put winter behind us.

Bluebird Hatch
Just hours old, these bluebirds are waiting for their siblings to hatch. All of them successfully hatched and fledged.
I shot this by lifting the top off the bluebird house and shooting straight down with my Kodak Easyshare DX7590. This photo was taken in early June of 2010.

Fading Fast
Out of the four worthwhile images I captured in this series, this is the one with the warmest tones. Even the snow-covered field looks a little warmer.
This is the last of the series. Even though all of these images were captured within a half hour on the evening of February 13th, they show a surprising amount of variety. If I weren’t the one who took them, I’d think they were from different sunsets.
Page through the previous posts to see them all. Feel free to pick a favorite.

Subtle Sunset
The combination of setting sun and layered clouds create an enjoyable view.
I spent about a half hour on my front porch early on the evening of February 13th and got several nice images.
This is the third of four images that I’ve posted from the series. Page through the previous posts to see them all. I’ll post the last one of the group tomorrow.

Serenity Wow
This image strikes me as the perfect end to a peaceful day.
I spent about a half hour on my front porch early on the evening of February 13th and got several nice images.
This is the second of four images that I will post over the next several days. Check back for more beauty.
