Forest of Friendship Waterfall
A small, tranquil waterfall flows into a pond filled with lily pads, surrounded by lush greenery and tall grasses. This serene setting was found at the International Forest of Friendship near Atchison, Kansas. It is known as the “Joe Carrigan Memorial Waterfall.”
We enjoyed our recent visit to the International Forest of Friendship. It was a paved path through an area that featured tree species representing different countries and states. A very pleasant, green place. This waterfall and pond was part of the scenery. There were small goldfish in the pond, among the lily pads.
This is a panorama image – two separate photos joined together to give you a wider view. I was using a pretty wide angle lens to begin with, but it wasn’t wide enough to capture the full view you see here.

Straining to Interpret the Sky
Vibrant hues of orange and pink blend across the sky just before the sun rises over a calm Lake Michigan at Kewaunee, WI. The lighthouse stands alone on the horizon, silhouetted against the colorful backdrop.
This is a large image – vertical panorama. It was the only way I could fit the substantial lake foreground and the expansive sky into the frame.

Fishing by the Light
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse stands at the end of a long pier – a spot often occupied by fishermen. If you look closely, you will see their silhouettes. (Click on the photo to see an enlarged version.)

Loving the Light
The Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier is dwarfed by the big, beautiful, dramatic sky at sunrise. The calm water reflects the colorful twilight hues of the clouds.
I just happened to be in Kewaunee last weekend and made it a point to get up way before I needed to for church to capture some sunrise views from the beach. This was actually snapped about 20 minutes before sunrise. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this sunrise as a 7 or 8. It was good enough to provide a number of good images…which I will be working on in the coming weeks.
This is a panorama of two combined shots. You can get a better, larger view by clicking on the photo.

Tall Drink
A picturesque waterfall cascades down a rocky cliffside into a tranquil pool below, surrounded by lush greenery and moss-covered rocks. This is South Falls – a 177-foot (54 m) drop – at Silver Falls State Park near Portland, Oregon.
You can see this same fall from a different angle on my earlier post, South Falls at Silver Falls State Park.

Reflecting In Alabama
The tranquil Burnt Corn Creek meanders through Jennings Park in Brewton, Alabama, reflecting the surrounding greenery in the calm waters of this panoramic image.
I recently spent a weekend in Brewton Alabama. This creek runs along the border of Jennings Park – a beautiful attraction the locals can be proud of. It has paved trails, a long, raised boardwalk through a wooded area, an abundance of wild and cultivated flowers and this restful spot along the creek.
This panoramic image was produced by stitching five separate photos together to capture a wider perspective. To really enjoy the scene, I encourage you to click on the photo to view a much larger version.

Morning Orange
You will find the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse perched on the end of a long pier. On the morning of this brilliant, orange sunrise, a seagull adds an additional point of interest as it soars gracefully by.
This is a ten-year-old image. It was taken in June of 2014. I had taken it, processed it, but, somehow, never posted it. I happened to find it this week and thought it was worthy of note. So, take note. 🙂 This photo doesn’t live up to the quality of my current work, but I think it is still worthy to be shared. I hope the viewers agree.

Dew Drop In
Nestled among green grass blades, creating a harmonious blend of nature and the arachnid’s craftsmanship, this spider awaits any unfortunate visitors.
This was taken on an early morning walk in the woodlands of northwest Missouri. I can’t remember if the water droplets resting on the web was from a light rain shower or heavy, morning dew. (As my title suggests, I’m leaning toward the dew.)
I did a bit of work trying to sharpen this image up, but could never reach the quality I was hoping for. It was a low light situation and an older camera that could only give me so much detail.

Heartwarming Cold Morning
A serene sunrise spreads warm hues above an icy Lake Michigan shore where the Kewaunee Wisconsin lighthouse holds its position at the end of a long pier.
The bare tree branches framing the top left corner of the scene adds a touch of nature to the tranquil, winter morning. This photo was taken almost ten years ago. Current visitors will notice the lack of any trees in this area of the shoreline.

Coming In Hot
The Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier stands in silhouette against a dramatic sunrise sky, with contrails piercing through the clouds. The calm, cool Lake Michigan waters seem unaffected by the rising drama.
This is a companion image to “Path to Glory” that I posted May 21st. If you compare them it’s obvious, they were both taken on the same morning from a slightly different angle. This was a hidden gem I found on my hard drive from 2014.
