Sprig of Pearls
Autumn is wrapping up in our area – as far as colorful foliage goes. These white berries stand out next to the normally green leaves of this plant I found on the edge of a wooded area.
I spent a good deal of time trying to identify this plant. I wasn’t able to find anything I could be confident to share. It seems to be a common plant in our area.

Powerful Peace
Yesterday morning, I was at the lakeshore to capture a sunrise. The thick clouds keep the sun from view…until…
The bright sun finds it’s way through the heavy cloud cover over Lake Michigan as fishermen troll near the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier.

Glow of Green
I’m glad I had my camera to catch the extraordinary amount of light emanating from this leaf. Remember, in photography, it’s all about the light.

Hope On the Horizon
The best colors of the morning sky happen a little before sunrise. This is the view, from the south pier, of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor and lighthouse. In a few minutes, the sun will rise over Lake Michigan.
If you look at the larger version of this image, you’ll be able to see the glow of the familiar red light from the lighthouse. To view a larger version, click on the photo.
Morning Rest
As the sun was rising over lake Michigan it appeared to pause for a moment’s rest on the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse.
This seems like the perfect Autumn color scheme, but this photo was taken last May.

Forgotten Embrace
This red rose evokes an entirely different feeling when presented in a monochrome tone.
This started as a color image and I spent a lot of time trying to get this just right. I like it better than the image I started with but…it still seems to be lacking something.

Shark Tank
A large shark glides overhead in a tank at the Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium located in the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
There are several aspects of this image that I like. First, the ominous feel the shark silhouette evokes. Second, I find the the blue and green colors of the water calming – conflicting with the ominous feelings. Most of all, the light, beaming through the water. Who doesn’t like sunbeams? (Of course, all of the color and light is provided by effect lighting above the tank.)
This is the second shark image I’ve posted from this shoot. View the other HERE.

Spring Beauty (Scilla Siberic)
These delicate flowers are known as “Spring Beauty” and “Siberian Squill.” Their formal name is Scilla Siberic.
They are very short (the tallest of the bunch might be 6 inches) and very early, spring bloomers. Scilla Siberic is native to southwestern Russia, the Caucasus, and Turkey. Despite its name, it is not native to Siberia. This small bunch pops up every spring in the lawn of our Wisconsin home.

Beach Bum
Just lounging on the beach, he portrayed an irritating aloofness with his pronounced stubble and unkempt hair continually sculpted by the wind.
A good deal of my photographic endeavor is spent at the beach, watching and waiting for a sunrise. Sometimes the sunrise that shows up is less than spectacular. But, I’m there with my camera; I might as well take some pictures. That’s where images like this come from. I start looking around for something…anything…that might catch my eye. Most of what I shoot at those times would not be worth sharing. Yet, now and then, I frame up something interesting.
For those who look, there are odd items to be found on the beach. This cockle-burr seems to be wrapped in the down shed from some shorebird.

Goodbye Gorgeous
The transition from green to glorious reds, oranges and yellows signals the beginning of the end for these maple leaves. By now, the beauty you see here – photographed a week ago – have become quickly fading forest floor confetti.
