Blue Ice

I find the detail in this icicle interesting. It’s made a bit more appealing by the light of a setting sun in the background.

These icicles were hanging off the front porch of our home in rural Wisconsin.

Lesser of Two Lights

Published February 11, 2013 | By Bill

Normally the sky in my sunrise photos are mostly hues of orange and red. This one was caught as the sun is just barely breaking the horizon – not up enough to color the whole sky, only the area nearest the horizon.

This is the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin – located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Spring’s Baby Blues

Published March 31, 2012 | By Bill

I don’t know the name of these flowers, but they are the first sign of spring color in our yard each year. They are very tiny, standing only 1.5 to 2 inches tall, and grow in a clump smaller than the size of my outstretched hand. My wife is disappointed that, though they are faithful to pop up every year, they don’t seem to be spreading.

To create that soft look, I applied an effect known as the “Orton Effect.” This is an image I’ve had on my computer for more than a week. I’ve been preoccupied with so many other things, I’ve not been able to post it sooner.

If you like it, please feel free to share it.
