Hangin’ On

Hangin On

My advice is to keep hangin’ on when your heart has had enough and give more when you feel like giving up. This is a very old clothesline strung in our apartment basement.  Probably hasn’t been used in a very long time. Day 23 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for…… Continue reading Hangin’ On

Insomnia

Insomnia

“The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.” –W.C. Fields Insomnia rears its ugly head to me from time to time.  It certainly makes getting through the day a challenge, especially when I am out of coffee!  But I have a way of dealing with it.  This is me saying to that…… Continue reading Insomnia

Fallen Leaf

Fallen Leaf

“October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen.  It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again.” –Hal Borland I shot this single maple leaf where it fell on an outdoor table in our backyard on a nice warm late…… Continue reading Fallen Leaf

Fiery Autumn

Fiery Autumn

Yes, it’s getting colder, the days are getting shorter,  and summer is gone.  But scenes like this make up for all that. Well, almost… 😉 Autumn in all of its fiery glory with the reds, oranges, yellows, and greens set against a bright blue fall sky.  This shot was taken near the Urban Ecology Center along the…… Continue reading Fiery Autumn

Look Around

Look Around

The most interesting photos are not always in front of us. You have to look around.  Sometimes they are behind, above, or even below us.  Slow down, breathe, relax, and look.  Beauty and wonder is everywhere. Autumn leaves on the forest floor along the Ice Age Trail in October, Lapham Peak, Kettle Moraine State Forest,…… Continue reading Look Around

Golden Autumn Woods

Vintage Farmall Tractor

Vintage Farmall Tractor

I found this vintage Farmall tractor while on a family trip to the Cedarburg Creek Farm pumpkin patch in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.  They actually had two vintage tractors – this one and a John Deere – pictures to follow later at some point, maybe.  😉  The Farmall was old, certainly well used and most certainly beat…… Continue reading Vintage Farmall Tractor

Mondo Lucha!

Mondo Lucha

The Third Ward, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Day 14 of my 365 photo a day project.     If you…… Continue reading Mondo Lucha!

Take the Stairs

Feather

Feather

“You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed.” –Samuel Rutherford This image started as macro shot of a tiny feather on a plain white background.  It is amazing how something so small and insignificant can be so powerful.  Powerful enough, in sufficient numbers, to give a creature the ability…… Continue reading Feather

A Quiet Moment

A Quiet Moment

A quiet moment with my son, albeit brief, at the Milwaukee Public Library East Branch.  I’m amazed he sat still even this long.  He is a bundle of energy and never really stops moving! Day 11 of my 365 photo a day project. If you are looking for art for your home or office or…… Continue reading A Quiet Moment
