Reflection
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.

Big City Serenity
I was able to connect with a photographer friend on a recent trip to Milwaukee, WI. He graciously took me to a few locations for nighttime photography. I thought this one turned out well.
Along Milwaukee’s river walk, there are a number of downtown locations where a beautiful scene can be captured.

Summer Skylight
A few evenings ago, the sunset lit up the rural Wisconsin sky with an awesome display of color. Naturally, I stepped out into the yard to record the beauty.
We’ve had a wetter than normal fall this year, keeping the lawns green and, in our case, sloppy wet. The large puddle in our yard (remaining effects of a recent rain) reflected the early evening beauty.

Sunbather’s Spot
There was one spot on the pond where the sun was shining through the trees…and this turtle was taking full advantage of it.
Normally, at the first sight of people, the turtles in this pond would dive into the water. This one was not leaving his cozy spot. Not until I got quite a bit closer.

Life of the Party
This fireworks burst certainly provided a festive atmosphere. It was part of the fireworks show that is the traditional finale of the Shanty Days celebration in Algoma, WI.
This year’s event was added fun because I was joined by a other photographers, sharing tips and techniques. All came away with some great shots.

Lapping at the Shore
Pelicans On Blue
Behold the Dawn
The sun is about to emerge from behind the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse and pier. Another beautiful start to a Lake Michigan morning. The expanse of sky and water makes the lighthouse seem tiny. Even smaller, is the fishing boat to the right of the lighthouse – seen as just a dot on the horizon.

Red Sky at Night
When it comes to fireworks, my favorites are the big ones – the huge bursts of color that fill the sky. This is a big red one from the July 4th celebration at Kewaunee, WI. 2014. A few days ago, I posted another full-sky burst: Burst of Blue. To see even more fireworks shots, click on the “Fireworks” category in the left-hand margin of this page.
