Unpretentious Beauty
A bunch of wild daisies that bloomed annually and self propagated liberally every spring. I love the simplicity of white petals and bright yellow centers standing out against a blur of green foliage.
These are from a patch of daisies that we welcomed every spring in our yard. Every year the main patch would expand a little and other little patches would pop up in the lawn nearby.

Wisps of Grandeur
A tranquil sunrise casts warm hues across the sky behind the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier. The calm waters of the harbor offer a colorful welcome to fishing boats as the day dawns.

Misty River Reflection
A calming sun rises over a bend in the Kewaunee River in northeast Wisconsin. warm light pierces the morning mist hugging the banks of the river. The calm water reflects the trees and sky, creating a symmetrical balance between nature’s elements.
This spot was a half mile down the road from our rural Kewaunee home. Most times, in search for a sunrise, I would pass by this spot on my way to the Lake Michigan shore to catch the sunrise along side the lighthouse. I believe the morning mist on the water caught my eye and garnered my attention.

Prepare for Flames
A serene sunrise casts a warm glow over Lake Michigan, highlighting the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse in the distance. On the sandy beach, two pyramids of firewood are prepared to provide warmth on shore.
This is an HDR image that was taken in May of 2020. As I was processing this, I was tempted to swap out the sky because the original looked like it didn’t belong. (But, of course, it does belong.)

Siberian Squill
This tiny blue flower is one of the earliest spring bloomers. This is Siberian Squill. You will find it low to the ground and you have to look quick, because they don’t bloom long. It’s one of our favorite flowers in our rural Wisconsin the flower bed.

Ending On a Calm Note
This is a panoramic view of an impressive, January sunset in rural Kewaunee County, Wisconsin home. This photo was taken at the end of January in 2013.
This photo is much larger and wider than you see here. I’ve had to crop it to make it fit the format of this web page. However, if you click on the photo, you will get a view of the full image – at least as much as your screen can handle.

Gooseberry Falls
Along the northern shore of Lake Superior you will find Gooseberry Falls State Park of Minnesota. This is the park’s namesake – Gooseberry falls.
This is one of the photos I found in my archives. This image was captured July 7, 2017. It was taken on a trip to the Duluth, MN area. It was a trip that ended in tragedy; where I broke my Sony A77V camera! Nobody was hurt, but it was a traumatic event for me. I got over it by purchasing the same model (used) for about half the price of new. And, as they say, the rest was photographic history.
This is a small panoramic image; where I combined two separate photos to provide a wider view. You can get a larger, more detailed view of these waterfalls by clicking on the photo.

Fire From Below
This spectacular August sunrise colored the sky behind the Kewaunee lighthouse and pier. Kewaunee, Wisconsin is a small town, located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
This is a panoramic shot of about three separate photos joined (stitched) together to create a wide-view image. This photo was taken on August 31, 2019. I just discovered it in my archives. I did post another image taken this same morning I titled, “Awaking the Calm.” (Click the title to see that one.)
This is not the greatest image because it was taken when it was still pretty dark – much darker than what this photos represents. I had to remove a lot of digital “noise” and pull back the saturation. You can see a larger version of it by clicking on the image. If you look closely at the larger image you will see boats in the water (to the right of the lighthouse) and fishermen on the pier.
Chill In the Air
I recently upgraded my computer and while transferring files, I discovered a number of images worthy of revisiting. (Actually, there’s a lot I’ve just not gotten around to processing.)
My typical photo outing is to go take a number of photos, download them to the computer, find my favorite, process it and post it. That leaves a lot of photos taken on the same day untouched. Many of them are worthy of posting, but I rarely get to it. This is one of those images dating back to February 17, 2013. Back then I selected and posted “Frigid Sunrise Fog” as my favorite shot.

Fireworks Over Manistique
The fireworks were fabulous over Manistique, Michigan as they celebrated the 4th of July weekend. (07/03/22). Manistique is a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan in the Upper Peninsula of the state of Michigan.
This photo was actually taken by my wife, Sara. I set the camera up and gave her the remote shutter button. She wasn’t quite sure what she was doing, since this was her first time. I think she did a great job…with the help of a great teacher.
