River
Down by the Creek
Is there anything more peaceful and refreshing than wading through a cool creek on a warm summer day? This toddler clearly loves the water. It’s hard to keep him out of it.

Foggy River
On my way to the Lake Michigan shore…just around the bend from my house…I cross the Kewaunee river. As I was returning home after shooting a sunrise over the lake, I stopped to snap a few of the river.
There is often a hint of fog in the cool, low lying areas of the river, but this morning there was more than usual and the warmth of the still rising sun (just out of the frame on the right) added a great quality to the scene.
Fog is always cool but, I think, one of the more challenging situations to photograph. I find it very difficult to capture in the camera what the eye can see. Even when you can snag a cool scene like this, it still lacks the actual experience.

Great Blue Heron
I took this photo while gliding by in a canoe on the Kewaunee river. I was on my way up-river to, hopefully, catch some small mouth bass. It was early morning in the middle of summer.
There’s a little bit of digital trickery in this image. There was only one Great Blue Heron along the shore. I took several pictures and combined two of them to make it look like a pair of birds. I thought it made the image more interesting.
