Macro
Connect the Dots
Moisture from a foggy morning collects like jewels on a tiny spider web.
Working on some macro photography and the foggy mornings have made spider webs particularly interesting.

Rose Futures
My wife’s little rosebush has been very prolific this year. Look closely. There’s a tiny spider waiting for this cluster of buds to bloom.

The majestic monarch butterfly is perfectly content to rule from his traditional throne – a leaf of the milkweed plant.

Exotic Flavor

Hanging Hearts
It’s not difficult to understand the thinking behind the common name of this garden favorite – bleeding heart. Its heart-shape pink or white blooms with a protruding tip make it a logical choice.
Bleeding hearts are a species of flowering plant in the poppy family. These bleeding hearts are from ,my wife’s flowerbed near our house.

Happy Faces
You can’t help but smile when you see the bright, happy faces of the delicate, blooming violas.
These are some of our favorites in the garden. They seem to be very prolific, popping up in the lawn and other flowerbeds where they weren’t planted.

Star Power
The camera (or, more accurately, the photographer) did not fully capture the beauty of this flower. It seemed much more appealing to my eye than it does here, in digital form.
This is a new addition to one of my wife’s flower beds. Unfortunately, it got bit by the recent, late frost. It looks like it may recover so, hopefully, we’ll be seeing future blooms from this one.

Spring Gathering
Hunting for morel mushrooms is a tradition of spring. Here are a nice batch found along a wooded path in northeast Wisconsin. There were actually two other morels in this pack, but I couldn’t fit them in the frame and still show the detail I wanted for this shot.

Wild Kiss of Spring
One of the great joys I have is roaming through the woods in early spring, searching for the season’s first blooms. A few days ago, Sara and I took a hike in search of mushrooms and, of course, I had my camera. There was little in bloom, but these little beauties were a delightful find.
