Green Bay
Wild Bergamot
We went hiking on one of the nature trails along Baird Creek in Green Bay, Wisconsin. At the very beginning of our walk we saw patches of this wild flower – Wild Bergamot. We’ve seen it in the woods before, but had to look it up for the name. It’s a pretty purple with a unique combination of petals and spikes. It also seemed pretty prolific.

Baird Creek Bed
This is a summertime view of Baird Creek – a natural treasure that winds through northeast Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I took this photo while on a recent hike along one of the well-kept nature trails that accompany the creek. It’s a great place to get out into nature while still in the city.

Partial Eclipse 2017
I was able to grab an image of the partial solar eclipse that appeared, filtered by light cloud cover, over Green Bay, Wisconsin on August 21, 2017.
I was working through the eclipse but took a short break to snap a few frames. It was a bit tricky, since I didn’t really have much time or the proper equipment to photograph an eclipse. I didn’t have any filters and didn’t use a tripod. Thankfully the light clouds provided some filtering effect and a little texture to the image. I also used a tall spruce tree to add some foregroud context.
To capture this image I had to use some crazy camera settings – 1/3200 sec, f/40, ISO 50, 250mm. Never actually looking at the sky, and hand holding the camera, I used the articulating screen on the back of my camera to find the sun and quickly snap my shots. I didn’t want to stay focused on the sun for more than a moment because without the proper filter there was a risk of damaging the image sensor. Of course, I increased the saturation in post processing.
This isn’t the best image, technically speaking, but at least I was able to grab a glimpse of the historic event in my area.

Packers Wall of Fame
An impressive display honoring inductees into the newly renovated Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
This is just one side of the inductees display that line the walls of the new Hall of Fame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The gold footballs are engraved with the name and likeness of the player as well as the date of their induction into the Hall of Fame. In the lower right corner of this image is the gold football honoring, Earl “Curly” Lambeau, founder, player, and first coach of the Green Bay Packers.

Curly At Lambeau
Visitors to Lambeau Field – home of the Green Bay Packers – are greeted by larger-than-life statues of legendary coach, Vince Lombardi, and the founder, player and first coach, Curly Lambeau. (The one pictured here.) Lambeau coached the Packers for 31 years and is the one person most responsible for the existence of the Green Bay Packers franchise.
I previously posted a photo of the Vince Lombardi statue Here.

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.)

Stylin Duck
This duck wasn’t content to be photographed in a normal duck squat. She wanted to show off one of her more stylish features.
This wasn’t a momentary stretch. I have several frames of her posing like this. She wasn’t warming herself in the sun either, because the skies were overcast. She is standing on the edge of a small waterfall at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay, WI.
