A walk in my surrogate backyard after a snow storm. But there are changes afoot.
Another weather report
There is no such thing as bad weather…
Buying a new camera in November means taking it out in bad weather. How did the Lumix G9 do?
Fall foliage in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest
With over a million acres, you'd think I'd find something to shoot.
Fall photography in the border lakes
Late September brought the color and the clouds, but the beauty wouldn't be held back!
The neighborhood girls
The seasons change with our neighborhood deer!
Rock Island Wisconsin – part 2 Island sights
Beauties large and small found on a day of solitude (the best birthday present I can give myself)!
Rock Island Wisconsin – part 1 – Pottawatomie Lighthouse
Way out on the end of what I call the pointy part of Wisconsin is Rock Island. It's a state park and no motorized vehicles are allowed. You need to take two ferries to get there, but once you land it's pretty great. Everyone scatters and finds trails that wind all over. You can tell... Continue Reading →
Ephemerals past and hiccup in my process
Oh boy this post is late!! Early spring wildflowers are long gone and we're into high summer flowers now. I'm still shooting, but am just a lazy blogger. Here are some of my favorites from the yard. None of these were shot with my beloved Olympus 90mm legacy macro because it totally siezed up on... Continue Reading →
Winter memories – in the shadows
Another thing that is wonderful about winter is the shadows. The sun never gets very high and without the canopy on the trees, shadows abound! The snow blanket creates such great shapes and textures. It's really a fun thing to shoot. Ok, and so there's a plant in snow, too. Could you resist? Nope.... Continue Reading →
Winter Memories – the dead leaves version
So as much as a big, sweeping landscape captures the attention and I love doing them, but I also get caught by little details and vignettes. Especially leaves in snow! That gorgeous sunlight doesn't always cooperate, but when it does, I obsess a little. The texture it brings up is amazing and mostly lost... Continue Reading →
Winter memories – landscape version
Yes, it's finally gone. What with the 2 feet of wet snow in April I didn't think it would. But since I've been so caught up in other things and have ignored this blog, you get to have a little more! Aren't you lucky? Trail shots are a weakness of mine as you know. Nothing's... Continue Reading →
Vernal pools – Part 5
No it isn't spring yet, but the vernal pools are still beautiful and biding their time.
Dead end job
This time the conditions let me create a cohesive set of shots of an extensive abandoned farm.
Slippage in cohesion
Mother Nature offers me a choice in lighting, but only for a second. Will it ruin my set of images?
Devil’s Lake State Park
My summer visit to Devil's Lake State Park. Rocks, wind and mushrooms. Beauty everywhere you look.
Are you an oak man, Jimmy?
Often overlooked in the presence of more colorful foliage, I take a closer look at oaks and all their glory.
Obligatory fall foliage post
Do you feel a little guilty if you don't go for fall photos? I do too, but I'm trying to get over it.
