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

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
Autumn’s Fire
“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.” –William Allingham If you ever have a chance to see the fall colors in Wisconsin, do it! And I have to say the trees and color on the drive to get to this location was more impressive than this.…… Continue reading Autumn’s Fire
Mondo Lucha!
I just love finding old posters in dirty, cobweb covered windows. I’m not sure what year this event went down, but I bet it was fun. Lucha Libre and burlesque!?!? With music guest Whips? Oh my!

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
Crayons
“Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.” –Al Hirschfeld Nothing brings back more childhood memories than a plastic tub filled with hundreds of old, well used, multi-colored Crayola sticks from the 1970s. Shot on my Droid Turbo and processed in Photoshop. Day 10 of my 365 photo a day project. If you…… Continue reading Crayons
I Miss You Most of All
“The falling leaves drift by my window The falling leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song But I miss you most of all, my darling When autumn leaves…… Continue reading I Miss You Most of All

365 Project – Days 1 – 5
I have seen many many people start a photo a day for a year project. I’ve even seen some finish! It seems like such a great learning experience as it forces you to shoot and post something everyday – something I have not been doing. So I’ve decided to give the 365 Project my…… Continue reading 365 Project – Days 1 – 5
Think About What You Will Gain

In doing so, we moved away from an underwater condo, lots of friends, and 2 steady well-paying jobs not really knowing what was going to happen. She was going to find a job aligned with her passions and I was going to…… Continue reading Think About What You Will Gain
