Algoma Morning Scene
Man, I love mornings like this!
This is the lighthouse at Algoma, WI accentuated by the early light of the rising sun filtered through the clouds above a calm Lake Michigan.

Grasping at Straws
Nature offers plenty to keep keen observers occupied and avid photographers snap happy. While tromping though the Kewaunee Marshlands Walk yesterday I noticed this interesting display of nature.
This is some delicate vine that coiled itself around nearby grasses and, though dormant, is still maintaining its grip well into the middle of winter.
The www.cityofkewaunee.org website describes the Marshlands Walk: “This quiet and peaceful boardwalk winds its way through the heart of the Kewaunee River Marsh. Located just north of the Kewaunee Landing, this wooden boardwalk goes through an area of natural marshland vegetation revealing a wealth of different animal and plant species. One can bird watch, fish or just enjoy the scenic views at the end of the boardwalk while sitting on the deck benches looking out at the Kewaunee River.The walkway was constructed in 1993 in a cooperative effort between the City of Kewaunee and the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program”

With Dad – in color
A few days ago I posted the B&W version of this portrait. I’m posting the color version so you can compare. I like them both, but I can’t decide which I like better.

Tangled Web
On a stroll with my camera, this mass of spider webs caught my eye. These webs were under a dock on a calm lake, a foot or so above the water. The early morning light behind the webs and the darker color of the water make them stand out.

Big Sky Sunset Pano
I love creating panorama images. Sometimes, the only way to get a real feel for a landscape scene is to expand your view. I don’t post many, however, because the narrow format of a web page doesn’t really do them justice.
This is a view of the setting sun from my front yard in rural Kewaunee County, Wisconsin on January 18, 2013.
To include this much sky, I combined three separate photos together – known as “stitching” in the photography world.
I often encourage viewers to click on the image to see a larger version. This is one image where it really, really makes a difference. So, click the image and see this photo as wide as your screen will allow.
Splendour Rising
Fishermen welcome the rising sun at the Kewaunee, Wisconsin pier and lighthouse. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

With Dad
The eyes of this child are hypnotic. It’s hard for me to look away…all the while, wondering what she might be thinking.
This is a father and daughter – part of a family of five I was working with for a family portrait. He was carrying her as we walked to another setting in the outdoors.

Turning Red
The beauty of Autumn leaves are hard to beat. The transition from green to red is almost complete with this bunch.
I snapped this image while tromping through some local woods on October 20th.

Buzz By Here – To Infinity and Beyond!
This portly bumble bee looks as though he’s heading off past the flowers, into infinity, intent on some important bee mission. No doubt, for his honey. (You’ve got to award style points for that perfect form.)
If you have a decent sized monitor, you can get a better view of Buzz by clicking on the photo.
White Crowned Sparrow
This is my White Crowned Sparrow friend. I call him my friend because he seemed to like hanging around with me.
I was at the Algoma marina photographing the lighthouse and sunrise when I noticed something moving along the ground. It turned out to be this sparrow. I made note of him and went about my business, moving along the marina wall to get various shots. It seemed, no matter where I moved, this white crowned sparrow was never more than a few feet away; always skittering along the ground.
Needless to say, I turned my camera in his direction a few times that morning. I’ve been back to the marina many times since, but haven’t seen my friend or his like again. (You can view another photo of this bird posted previously HERE)
