  The Noise Maker & Lily

Sometimes "beauty" is in the colors and shapes. Photographs do not always have to be tack sharp.


As the peak of the Cicada movement is nearing an end, this one still had energy.

  Sounds from the Trees

This is the year for the Cicadas. This one up close looks mean. They do not bite, but looks can do a lot.

  California Poppies in Wisconsin

Teaching and doing photography at The Clearing in Ellison Bay, Wisconsin, I found that I could not pass up this patch of Poppies and shoot the flowers every day. Every day more flowers opened up. This species of flowers is not native to Door County, but the colors were just too over whelming to walk by and not take out the camera.

  Little pocket cameras

It is juist wonderful that small pocket digital cameras like the Canon S700 can take RAW photos and do close-ups of flowers and whatever. You can almost smell the beauty.

  Back to Photography

After a week of teaching and capturing a few images, it is now time to do photography. This process is on going and the it seems like the more that one does the better you get. So now is my time to get on with making photographs.

This tree was on the edge of the cliff near the council ring at The Clearing. I was looking away from the sun and saw the beautiful movement in the trunk of the tree. With the infrared camera on my shoulder, I had to snap. The simplicity of the image is what kept me from erasing it from the memory card like the many that were just "snapshots".
