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.

Garden Grapes
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne. – Marcus Aurelius
It looks like a colorful, flavorful, abundant harvest. I photographed these ripening clusters of grapes on an September day in rural Missouri with the lingering effects of an early morning dew still clinging to the fruit.

Reclining Monarch
This is a butterfly common to our neighborhood and most of North America. This is the much-loved monarch butterfly. I found this one on a cool morning, perched among some purple asters growing wild in a field. Because of the early, cool conditions, this monarch was moving slow and the asters hadn’t opened yet.

Rare Atmosphere
The conditions were unique for a Lake Michigan sunrise. The sun dominated a hazy horizon – shown here perfectly situated behind the lighthouse at Kewaunee, WI on Lake Michigan’s western shore.

Hostas in Bloom
I always forget how beautiful the humble hosta plant’s flowers are…until they bloom in abundance. This is an example from the flowerbed in our back yard.

Budding Artist
These wildflowers were found on a hike through the woods. It looks like plenty of blooms were in its future.

Lilac Euphoria
This is an image from early spring…when the lilac bush was in full, fragrant bloom. We have a couple of lilac bushes in our yard. Just walking by them, when they are in bloom, is a sensory treat.

Sudden Outbreak of Spring
On a recent hike, we stumbled across this delightful display of early spring wildflowers. These were the first wildflowers of the season we encountered. We found a few other wildflowers along the trail, but they were very sparse. In a few days, the trail will have many more of these and other varieties.

April Awakening
A very calming morning scene on Lake Michigan as the sun prepares to rise behind the lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin. This morning’s sun has a “tell” for exactly where it will breach the horizon. That little pink area to the right of the lighthouse is marking the spot where the sun will appear.

Spring Blooming Crocus
These are the first flowers I’ve been able to photograph this spring. The Crocus is possibly the earliest of all early, spring bloomers. I found this nice clump at the N.E.W. Zoo.
