Rocket’s Red Glare
I’m blessed to live in an area where local firework’s displays are launched near water. I always position myself close to the water so I can include the colorful reflections from the bright lights in the sky in my images. This is a perfect example.
The bright red from this fireworks burst creates a stunning reflection in the Kewaunee, WI harbor. This was part of their annual Trout Festival celebration.
Take a look at the larger version to see more detail in the reflection – just click the photo.
Tiny Details
This male, ruby-throated hummingbird was just as intent on keeping an eye on me as I was in keeping an eye on him.
This was my first attempt at snapping a hummingbird photo this year. I didn’t think it went well, but…on second thought. I’ve had to change the way I snag these photos so I’ve not had time to perfect my method. I’ll be working on that.

Blue Spectacular
A burst of red, white and blue filled the sky and reflected in the harbor at Kewaunee, Wisconsin during their 2013 Trout Festival.
Kewaunee always puts on a great fireworks display for their Trout Fest.

June Rainbow
This was a rainbow that popped up on an early, mid-June evening. If you squint, you can kind of see a second band in the upper right corner.
I should have processed it earlier, but just got around to processing it. I remember, when photographing it, being disappointed that I couldn’t get the whole rainbow in one frame. It was very tall in the sky.

Hut Hut
A future football fan gets a unique perspective of the game in a life-size display at the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI. It’s a fun place for the whole family, plenty to look at – especially for the true football fan.

Skyward Inspiration
The sky above Lake Michigan and the lighthouse at Kewaunee, Wisconsin had an inspirational feel to it, complete with calm, reflective water, the dramatic, yet warm, glow of sunlight filtered through textured clouds, a lone fisherman on the pier and a formation of geese high overhead.
This image was taken on a Saturday morning. I was glad to capture the geese flying though the scene, as it doesn’t happen often. (At least, not often enough for me.)

Spring of Glory
This beautiful flow of colorful tulips was photographed this spring at the West of the Lake Gardens in Manitowoc, WI.

Sea of Gulls
Seagulls take to flight before the Kewaunee, Wisconsin pier and lighthouse as the sun rises over Lake Michigan.
Yesterday I was on the beach to photograph the sunrise. I had finished started walking back to the car, ready to head home to grab breakfast before going to work. As I neared the parking lot, I noticed a large number of seagulls resting on the beach. I figured, as I got closer, they would eventually take off. So I prepared my camera for the shot.
When they began to take off, with my camera at arm’s length, I just pointed in their direction and snapped away – one-handed because I was carrying my tripod in the other. Looking directly into the brightness of the sun, I really couldn’t see what I was shooting, so I was rather pleased with what I saw when I downloaded the morning’s images to my computer.

Simple Spring
While walking through a swampy area of woods, I stumbled upon this simple, single flower. The bright area behind the flower is daylight reflecting off a wet area. I don’t know what kind of flower it was, but it was small. This bloom was only about the size of a thumbnail.
