Lakeside Landscaping
In an early morning outing I captured the sun rising over Lake Michigan and the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier. Normally I shoot the lighthouse sunrises from the edge of the water, on the beach. For this shot, I moved back into the grassy area beyond the sand.
I love looking at the detail in the plant life. You can see more detail in the larger version by clicking on the photo.

Reticent
The sun seemed a bit reticent as it made it’s appearance behind the lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, WI – on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
I named this, “Reticent,” because the sun exhibited qualities of the word: restrained in expression, presentation or appearance.

Sun Worshipers
A patch of wild daises await the sunrise on a rural Wisconsin morning. This was the scene I captured a few days ago where our lawn meets the farm field that surrounds our property.

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.

Kewaunee Morning Hues
It’s hard to rival the beautiful colors of a Kewaunee, Wisconsin sunrise. This is an image I captured just before sunrise yesterday morning.
Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Subtle Awakening
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier stand ready to greet the sun as it rises above the Lake Michigan horizon.
I love the way the light dances on the beach with the gentle rhythm of the calm, early morning waves. The clouds above add another layer of flavorful light.

Monarch Squadron
All three of these monarch butterflies are in flight. They were circling, and eventually landing and feeding on, the purple asters in a vacant field near the building where I work.
I didn’t see a lot of butterflies this year, but when I did, it was all within a few weeks at the end of the summer. This photo was taken in late September.
In the interest of full disclosure, you should know this is a composite image. I combined three separate photos – each with one butterfly – to create this image of three butterflies. They were all photographed exactly as you see them…in the location that you see them…just at different moments.

Fall Floral Outburst
These festive wildflowers were growing on a bush at the edge of our property. I don’t know what kind of flowers (or weed) they are, but they were some of the last blooms of the fall.
