Lakeside Landscaping

Lake Michigan, Sunrise, Lighthouse, Kewaunee, Grass, Reflection
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

Sunrise, Blue, Lighthouse, Kewaunee, WI, Lake Michigan
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.

Hanging Hearts


Bleeding Hearts, Flowers, Stem, Dew, Drops, Pink, Garden
It’s not difficult to understand the thinking behind the common name of this garden favorite – bleeding heart. Its heart-shape pink or white blooms with a protruding tip make it a logical choice.

Bleeding hearts are a species of flowering plant in the poppy family. These bleeding hearts are from ,my wife’s flowerbed near our house.

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.

Rock Bottom on the River

Rock Bottom Brewery, Milwaukee, WI, River, Riverwalk, Reflection, Night
Despite the sign, it’s not the “Ro Bottom.”  (I hear minions giggling.)  It’s the Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, located on the Riverwalk in downtown Milwaukee, WI.  On an evening of “big city” night photography, a photographer friend and I shared a meal here and then walked up and down the river taking photos.

Spring Gathering

Morel, Mushroom, Mushrooms, Edible Mushrooms, Spring
Hunting for morel mushrooms is a tradition of spring. Here are a nice batch found along a wooded path in northeast Wisconsin.  There were actually two other morels in this pack, but I couldn’t fit them in the frame and still show the detail I wanted for this shot.

Wild Kiss of Spring

Wildflower, Purple, Green, Flower, Wild
One of the great joys I have is roaming through the woods in early spring, searching for the season’s first blooms.  A few days ago, Sara and I took a hike in search of mushrooms and, of course, I had my camera.  There was little in bloom, but these little beauties were a delightful find.
