Winter’s Leaf
Keep Out
On a cold, dreary, foggy day, this rural driveway into the woods seems mysterious and even a bit dangerous.
This is a spot just down the road and around the corner from my home. I drive by it quite often. It never caught my eye until I drove by it slowly on a foggy day.

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.

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
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
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.
