Fishing Report
I was on the beach at Kewaunee, Wisconsin, taking photos of the lighthouse at sunrise. (Watch for that photo to be posted soon.)
I noticed the sun beginning to rise over the pier and started to take photos of it. Then I noticed two people walking along the pier, toward the sun, one from each direction. The two met and began talking. I moved my camera to frame the two in the orb of light from the rising sun behind them.
The two were fisherman – you can see one with a landing net and rod in his hands. I imagine they were discussing the recent fishing activity on the pier, like if any had been caught this morning, what they were biting on, how big they were…etc.

Fireworks of Green and Red
More fireworks from 2012 edition of Kewaunee Wisconsin’s Trout Festival. The fireworks show lit up the sky above the harbor creating beautiful reflections on the water’s surface.
Here, I’ve enlarged a part of the reflection from the image above, to give you a more detailed view of the reflection ripples.

Fireworks Reflections
This is the first of several photos I’ll post from the annual Trout Festival held in Kewaunee, WI.
I make it a point to position myself close to the Kewaunee harbor water’s edge because I also want to capture the reflections in the water which I think are as beautiful as the fireworks, themselves. I particularly like the way the white reflections stand out among the deep red in this one.
I’m afraid the small size format of my blog doesn’t do these images justice, since a larger view is required to see the fine details and fully appreciate them. If you have a larger monitor, you can click on the photo to see a larger version.
Rising Above
This is the lighthouse at the end of the pier in Kewaunee, WI. The sun rising over Lake Michigan created some unusual tones on this morning – due, I believe, to the low, thicker clouds that muted the light on the horizon.

Coming In
A lone boat heads for the harbor of Algoma, Wisconsin after a morning of fishing on Lake Michigan. The combination of sun, sky, lake and boat provide plenty to keep the eye and the mind busy with this one.

Comforting Glow
It hard to beat the beauty of a sunrise filling the sky with color and the waves with sparkles. This is one of my favorite subjects – the lighthouse at Algoma, Wisconsin as the sun rises over Lake Michigan.

Garden Party
I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

These are the some of the regulars who frequent the birdbath and feeders in our yard. The yellow ones are male American Goldfinches. The other three are House Finches – the males having the red coloring.
In the interest of full disclosure – I never got more than three of them to belly up to the bar at one time, so a little Pops Digital magic was needed to fill up the spaces.

Gold on the Water
The light reflecting off the water looks like streaks of liquid gold. This is a view of the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse. It sits on a long pier that extends out into Lake Michigan.

Cast Away
The early morning light offers a clear silhouette of two fisherman at the end of the pier, next to the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse.
This is similar to an image I posted a few days ago. The two fishermen just seemed to be talking in the previous photo – Morning Friends. I like this one because the fisherman on the right is clearly casting as the other watches.
