A Real Fall Sky
At this time of year, when nature is in the midst of seduction by changing her sartorial presentation right before our eyes, we can often be so mesmerized by the transformation taking place in the trees and vegetation that we might miss the lovely, enchanting show she puts on for us in the sky.
Soft Marsh Sky
When autumn enters, we think of beautiful colors in the trees, but its earlier stages are stunningly visible in the wetlands, where the colors of the foliage change from shades of green to rich earth tones of umber, ocher, sienna, and dun.
Miners Castle
Here upon the southern shore of the Great Lake we call Superior, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow set the tale of Hiawatha, the legendary warrior of the Ojibwe (Chippewa) tribe, and his Dakota wife, Minnehaha.
Mosquito Falls
I have a confession: I don't usually enjoy photographing waterfalls. I enjoy waterfalls very much, and I like to visit them, to look at them and listen to them. But the process of creating photographs of them is often not much fun. There are several reasons for this.
Roy G. Biv
The wind at the shore of violent Lake Superior had been harsh and cold, but as the trail re-entered the woods, the protective trees wrapped me in calm. Each step got quieter. About a half-mile in, all was tranquil.
Autumn At The Creek
As I trudged along the trail through the woods, the sound of the creek kept me company, its happy chatter following every twist and turn. In brief snatches, I could see the water through the trees and undergrowth, but had no clear opportunity to catch a portrait. Then a bend in the creek and curve in the trail nearly touched at a point where the trees thinned just a little and left a gap.
Arboretum Color
While my granddaughter was visiting yesterday, I asked her if there was anything special she'd like to do, and she chose to visit the arboretum. It's been a special place to her since she was a toddler, and I'm so happy that she has good memories of all the times we went there….
Anniversary Sky
On October 15th, 1978, Wanda and I were married. We were engaged only three weeks, but we had spent more than four years falling in love. It was absolutely amazing to me that when I finally said, "Will you?" she said, "Yes!" I knew then, and have known ever since, that I was the luckiest man in the world.
