“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” –Sharon Begley The road to somewhere – a path that leads you to new places or experiences. This particular road is at the Pinewoods Campground near Dousman, Wisconsin in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. The morning light, the sunlit moss covered branches, and the curve of the…… Continue reading The Road to Somewhere

Dried Tulip Blossom
I waited a bit too long to shoot this red tulip blossom. It sat on my desk and slowly dried out. And I have to say, I’m quite pleased about that. The texture and shape of the petals are much more interesting now than if I had shot the freshly cut flower. You gotta love…… Continue reading Dried Tulip Blossom
Spring Flower
“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.” — William Blake An arrangement of fallen petals from a simple Spring flower bouquet. I originally framed this as a much tighter shot. However, I really liked…… Continue reading Spring Flower
Family Time on a Spring Weekend
Today was all about family. It was an absolutely beautiful spring day with temps in the mid-70s and plenty of sunshine. We bought plants for the garden in the morning and then hiked the Seven Bridges Trail in South Milwaukee before noon. After naps (unfortunately, no nap for me), we grilled hot dogs and corn on the…… Continue reading Family Time on a Spring Weekend
Sunset on a Wooden Bench
The sun sets behind a wooden bench along a hiking trail in southeast Wisconsin. A quiet, peaceful little scene. But is this reality? The short answer is no. The bench was certainly there but when I took this shot, I really had no clue where the sun was since it was overcast and in the middle…… Continue reading Sunset on a Wooden Bench

And really that should be the goal of any artist – to stand out from the crowd. To create something from the soul that will draw the viewer in and…… Continue reading Spring Blossom
Impressions of Spring
It’s finally Spring here in Wisconsin. It’s still cold, but the flowers are out. Yay!! Time to shoot flowers and find things with color! With this macro shot, I intentionally left the depth of field very narrow and the flower mostly out of focus because I knew I was going to process it with…… Continue reading Impressions of Spring
Raindrops on Green
A line of tiny raindrops sit atop a green leaf against a backdrop of vibrant, verdant green after an early May rain shower. What a way to start the month. Now it is Wisconsin – so it wasn’t warm by any means when I shot this macro image. If fact, with the humidity, it was the…… Continue reading Raindrops on Green
Sunset at Scuppernong Springs
Sunset at Scuppernong Springs in the Kettle Moraine State Forest, Southern Unit, in southeast Wisconsin. This shot is a prime example of working with what you have and making something out of basically nothing in processing. Taken on a small bridge over the spring fed Scuppernong River along the Scuppernong Springs Nature Trail, I…… Continue reading Sunset at Scuppernong Springs
