Steel Blue Sunrise
This was a magical moment. The sun was rising above a calm Lake Michigan. A few fishermen on the pier…a few geese overhead…with some very cool highlights adding definition to the background of low clouds.

Anticipation
We had the pleasure of spending a few days with our grandson (and his parents). That’s grandma Sara’s hand expertly wielding the spoon.
As you can see, he was an eager eater. This kid can pack away the oatmeal. Just look at the size of that bowl. He ate it all!

Fish Lips
The water was so cold, his lips were turning blue. This large, ancient looking catfish is resting in his favorite underwater shelter on the bottom of a freshwater aquarium display at a large sporting goods retailer.
Popular Night Spot
A number of people waited near the lighthouse, at the end of the long, Kewaunee, WI pier, to watch the full moon rise above Lake Michigan.
This was an August full moon. The small lights you see on the horizon are fishing boats out on the lake. I took this photo from the beach with a large zoom lens.

Fall In the Ferns
As autumn winds down and winter approaches, even the ferns lose their lush, green color in the northeast Wisconsin forests.
On a hike through the woods at Potawatomi State Park, near Sturgeon Bay on Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula, I spotted this colorful collection of leaves resting on a fading bracken fern.
The interesting pattern and contrasting colors seemed worth of a shutter snap.

Charmed
I found these charming wildflowers flourishing along a Lake Michigan beach. I don’t know what species they are but they seem to be rather common in our area.

Smartly Cloudy
These fluffy clouds had a unique quality – enhanced by a partially hidden sunrise. The bright, back-lighting created a sharp silhouette of the lighthouse and piers that mark and separate the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor from Lake Michigan.

Grillwork – Buick Eight
They don’t make ’em like this anymore. Who wouldn’t love the stylish and extravagant front grill and bumper of this classic American automobile – the Buick Eight.
Every May, Algoma, WI hosts a classic car show downtown. I usually snap a few photos and grab a brat from the firefighter’s food stand.

Of Tulips Past
These tulips have long past, but their memory lives on in digital form. Long live the tulips!
As you can see from the cropped, color image of this same stand of tulips on the right, they were two-toned in color – not your typical red or yellow. Ironically, I thought the unique, contrasting colors made them good candidates for a monochrome treatment.
To me, the detail in the petals are much more interesting in a higher contrast B&W. In fact, I think this would make an impressive, large print. May have to do that.

Radiating Warmth
A day! It has risen upon us from the great deep of eternity, girt round with wonder; emerging from the womb of darkness; a new creation of life and light spoken into being by the word of God.
~ E. H. CHAPIN, Living Words
The camera had a difficult time handling the full power of the morning sunrise at Kewaunee, WI. It was a blustery morning with strong winds and waves.
Normally, the blur created by seagulls flying in the upper left would bother me but, for some reason, I like them in this shot.
