Ladies In White
The muted sunlight coming from behind these white tulips gave the flowers a unique quality. These early spring beauties were photographed at Pella, Iowa. Each year Pella has a tulip festival.

Slipping Toward Twilight
Shades of night are slipping into the River Walk area of downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I was fortunate to spend some time doing some night photography with an experienced photographer from the Milwaukee area. It’s always great, when away from home, to have a photographer familiar with the location give you benefit of their experience.

Kewaunee Morning Hues
It’s hard to rival the beautiful colors of a Kewaunee, Wisconsin sunrise. This is an image I captured just before sunrise yesterday morning.
Kewaunee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

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.

Golden Shrimp Plant
This is the unique bloom of the tropical plant known as the Golden Shrimp Plant. I was able to snap this image at a botanical garden. This flower blooms the appealing yellow color and then bursts forth with slender white petals. Very cool.

Tree Dwellers
It was a banner year for mushrooms in northeast Wisconsin. An abundance of rainfall seemed to keep them sprouting up to, and even beyond, the first frosts.
I thought it was unusual to see so many mushrooms growing on a tree trunk. These healthy specimens were found in the woods of northeast Wisconsin.

Queen Monoplane
They don’t make them like this anymore. This is the Queen Monoplane – a part of early aviation history. As you can see by it’s markings, it was used to deliver mail. It is part of the historic aviation displays at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
The E.A.A. museum is a very cool place to learn about the history of aviation. You’ll find historic aircraft and information from the Wright Brother’s flyer to spacecraft. They have a great Warbirds exhibit.

Heaven Above
The sky was glorious the morning I captured this image. It was shortly after sunrise and the low angle of the sun was only lighting up certain areas of the sky.
This is the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Gladiolus Lethargy
These gladiolus seemed to lack the energy and strength to stand up straight. To be fair, it wasn’t their fault. They were planted late, in mid summer, and didn’t begin to bloom until early fall. Even though they are far from perfect specimens, the vibrant red and uncharacteristic, nonchalant posture appeal to me.
