Perfect Peace
Sun and Stars
These are wildflowers found on our property. They are in an area where I scattered a bunch of wildflower seeds last year. We never saw any of these last year, so it was a pleasant surprise to see these big, bright blooms among the weeds this year. The white dandelion-like seeds in the center of the flower blew over from some nearby weeds.

Catching Some Light
A collection of people were on the Kewaunee pier, near the lighthouse, as this August full moon was rising over Lake Michigan. I believe most of the spectators are fishermen, but not all. Notice the gal, second from the right. You can see the light of her cell phone – no doubt trying to capture a photo. The other lights on the horizon are distant fishing boats.
I took this photo from the shore; about 750 feet away. From a technical standpoint, there’s a lot of digital noise in this image – but it was taken in relatively dark circumstances.
You can get a better look at that gal with the cell phone, and the others, by clicking on the image.

Flourish of Gray
This is a close-up look at the center of a poppy. The tissue-paper-like texture of the poppy petals make an interesting frame for the flower’s center.
This bloom started as a very bright red. I decided to take a different turn and make it a black and white image.

EAA Fireworks – 2013
It’s no secret, especially to those who follow this blog, I like fireworks. This is one of my favorite fireworks photos.
The fireworks are pretty cool, but my favorite part is the people. The people are my favorite part because of where they are. If you look closely, you’ll notice airplanes parked among the people.
This is a view from the fireworks display at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s 2013 AirVenture – held every year in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
