Benches
Last summer we attended “Family Camp” at Green Lake Conference Center at Green Lake, Wisconsin. While roaming the rounds between meetings, the pattern of these benches caught my eye.
I’ll admit, this is one of those images that you either like or not. To tell you the truth, I’m not sure which camp I fall into. I do think it’s interesting but I’m not sure I’d want to frame it and hang it on a wall. (Maybe with the right frame…on the right wall… )

Tidal Moon
A late-summer full moon rises over Lake Michigan, just behind the pier and lighthouse at the mouth of the Algoma, Wisconsin harbor.
I captured this image on September 30, 2012. I remember it was a late Sunday afternoon when the Green Bay Packers were playing the New Orleans Saints. It was a close game and I debated whether to miss it and hope for a good photo or just stay home and finish watching the game. I listened to it on the radio as I drove to Algoma, but I missed the end of the game because I was out near the beach taking photos.
When I got back to my van, I heard the Packers won 28 to 27. I hated to miss the game, but I’m glad I did. Full moon photos like this don’t come along every day.

Morning Rough – Kewaunee, WI Lighthouse
A view of the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier just before the sun rises over a rough Lake Michigan. Kewaunee is located on the western shore of the lake.
Stylin Duck
This duck wasn’t content to be photographed in a normal duck squat. She wanted to show off one of her more stylish features.
This wasn’t a momentary stretch. I have several frames of her posing like this. She wasn’t warming herself in the sun either, because the skies were overcast. She is standing on the edge of a small waterfall at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay, WI.

Across the Harbor
A beautiful, calm morning in the harbor of Algoma, Wisconsin. Beyond the harbor, the sun is rising over Lake Michigan.
Those who follow my work know this lighthouse is one of my favorite subjects. This image was taken a few weeks ago. I’ve not had much success at catching a break when it comes to weather lately. I was there yesterday around sunrise and, again, the sky was dreary and gray.

Warming Up
The lighthouse and pier at Kewaunee, Wisconsin awaits the warming power of the sun as it begins its rise over Lake Michigan.
This photo was taken at the end of November, so it was a pretty cool morning and, as you can see by the rough seas on the right side of the pier, it was quite windy as well.

Star Power – Sunrise
The sun was powering through the clouds as it rose above Lake Michigan beyond the Algoma, Wisconsin lighthouse and harbor. This image was taken in late October.

Delicate Purples
These delicate purple flowers were a nice touch to contrast with the bright, bold orange and yellow blooms in the background.
I saw these beauties in the small flower bed near the entrance of the Algoma, WI library. Hats off to their gifted gardener(s).

Color Coordination – Autumn Leaves
A recent walk though some woods provided a lot of fall color. On this trip, I focused on the small picture – close-up images of colorful leaves.
This caught my eye because of the combination of red and green against the dark background.
It seemed the smaller leaves were resisting the change. A youthful rebellion.

Sentinels – Fishing in the Fog
Like sentinels with bayonets drawn, two fishermen are on high alert, ready for the bite. These stalwart anglers are fishing for salmon in the early morning fog. Their lures are plying the waters of Lake Michigan, off the pier at Algoma, Wisconsin.
