Heaven Above
The sky was glorious the morning I captured this image. It was shortly after sunrise and the low angle of the sun was only lighting up certain areas of the sky.
This is the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Gladiolus Lethargy
These gladiolus seemed to lack the energy and strength to stand up straight. To be fair, it wasn’t their fault. They were planted late, in mid summer, and didn’t begin to bloom until early fall. Even though they are far from perfect specimens, the vibrant red and uncharacteristic, nonchalant posture appeal to me.

Winter Convention
The geese were thick as thieves as they congregated on the December ice covering the harbor at Kewaunee, WI. These are wild, Canada geese.
The early morning light provided an interesting quality to this scene…which I enhanced further, taking a little artistic licence.

Alternate Reality
The over saturated effect in this image of the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse gives it an other-worldly feel. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
This is a stylistic experiment for me. Every now and then, I try something totally out of my normal box. I like this image…but I’m not sure I’d like a lot of it.

Woodland Litter
The fallen leaves are almost as beautiful on the ground as they were on the trees. I’m glad I didn’t have to rake this clearing in the woods.

Flight At the Museum
The Air Racing and Aerobatics Gallery at the EAA AirVenture Museum displays an outstanding and colorful collection of classic air racers and high-flying stunt planes. The cool part is, these are the actual, history making aircraft. Many of them hang from the ceilings. Along with the planes, there are tons of trophies and memorabilia. The museum is located in Oshkosh, WI.

Attention Grabbing
Something’s captured her attention. This is our granddaughter at the age of wonder and development. She’s learning more about the world around her and how to navigate it. At this stage, she was just learning to sit up on her own. I love the stabilizing grip she has on the afghan behind her.

Paper Kite
This beautiful, high-contrast butterfly is known by the name, Paper Kite. It’s technical name is Idea Leuconoe. The name game doesn’t stop there, either. It’s also called a Wood Nymph butterfly, Large Tree Nymph butterfly or simply, Rice Paper butterfly.
The Paper Kite has a weak, fluttery flight interspersed with gliding due to the high ratio of their wing-size to body-size. You would think, with their bright color and bold pattern, they would easily fall victim to predators, but like monarch butterflies, they are poisonous or highly unpalatable and are not often attacked.
The Paper Kite’s natural territory is Southeast Asia. Apparently, it is a common resident in butterfly greenhouses and live butterfly expositions. I found this one at the Butterfly Palace and Rainforest Adventure in Branson, MO.

Garden Grapes
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne. – Marcus Aurelius
It looks like a colorful, flavorful, abundant harvest. I photographed these ripening clusters of grapes on an September day in rural Missouri with the lingering effects of an early morning dew still clinging to the fruit.

Fall In the Creek
A serene scene of natural beauty. Colorful autumn leaves blanketed the ground and floated by on a gently flowing Wisconsin woodland stream.
This is an image from last fall in the woods across the field from our home. A very peaceful, highly enjoyable morning in the woods.
