Lombardi At Lambeau
I took a few minutes to drop by Lambeau Field – home of the Green Bay Packers – and snapped this image at the entrance to the Atrium. The imposing bronze statue in the foreground is the likeness of legendary Packers coach, Vince Lombardi. The statue, itself, is 14 feet tall, on a four pedestal, resting on three foot stair base. This image was taken in the early evening, in early December. (Notice the wreaths and snowflake decorations in the lower windows.)

Dream Boat
It was a calm but misty day for sailing on Lake Michigan off the shores of Two Rivers, Wisconsin. The light fog gave this boat a mysterious, dream-like quality. The low bank of clouds also add interest to the background.

Bathtime Bliss
Not all babies enjoy bathtime, but this one certainly does. He’s happy enough to show off those impressive new teeth.

Watercolor Sky
A wonderful morning of watercolor tones at the Algoma, WI lighthouse and harbor. A perfect place to be for a peaceful start to the day. Of course, to see this beauty, you have to be willing to be there very early…before sunrise.

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.

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.

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.
