Preview of Coming Attractions
The true magic happens just before the sun breaks the horizon. It usually only lasts a few moments, but it’s worth the effort to catch it. This magical moment arrived behind the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier, on the western shore of Lake Michigan.

Bejeweled Begonia
This is an extreme close-up of a potted begonia I photographed at our home, after an early morning shower.
This is part of my experimentation with macro photography. This image was created using a technique to overcome the limited depth of field in macro photography known as focus stacking. This image is a blend of three separate photos – each focused on a different part of the flower. I think more experimentation is needed.

Peace Unto You
A beautiful September, Lake Michigan sunrise as viewed from the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.
This is actually three individual photos I “stitched” together to make a wider, panoramic view.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to catch a nice sunrise behind the Algoma lighthouse. When I looked out the window and realized the sky might be cooperative, I packed up and headed out. I got there just in time and get several good images. Watch for more in the future.

Connect the Dots
Moisture from a foggy morning collects like jewels on a tiny spider web.
Working on some macro photography and the foggy mornings have made spider webs particularly interesting.

Calming Cascade – Wagner Falls
On a recent getaway to the upper peninsula of Michigan, we stopped at a favorite spot for visitors to the Munising area – Wagner Falls.
Just on the edge of town with a nice path and viewing deck, it’s easy to see why this is a popular stop.

Lakeside Landscaping
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
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.

Wow Factor
The 4th of July tradition of fireworks is part of the Independence Day celebration in Kewaunee, WI. This was a larger-than-life burst from this year’s display.

Rock Bottom on the River
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.
