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.

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.

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.

Full Moon Flightpath
This full moon was settling behind the trees as a flock of birds (not bats) flew through the scene.
Because of the full moon, you’d naturally assume this photo was taken at night. In fact, it was taken at 7:06 am. Even more ironic – I was out that morning trying to catch a nice sunrise at Algoma. The sun didn’t cooperate, but while waiting for it, I noticed the full moon going down and focused my attention, and camera, there. As I was framing up the shot, a flock of sea gulls entered the frame…so, of course, I clicked.
For those who are familiar with Algoma, this shot was taken in the parking lot of the Algoma Youth Center…down by the lake shore…facing west, over the city.

Pebble Beach
One morning on the Kewaunee, WI beach – there to photograph a sunrise – I turned the camera to the water’s edge.

Sisterhood
These are delicate wildflowers found on an early spring walk through the woods.

Shoreline Stroll
Just before sunrise is the perfect time for strolling along the Lake Michigan shoreline. In the distance rests the Kewaunee lighthouse and pier.
