Reflect

A time and place to reflect.

A Golden Morn

A harvested field, with left overs for the Sandhill Cranes.

Before Leaves

A warm Saturday, early spring. The green grass, trees without leaves.

It happens, ever so brief though.

White Barn

Once so common, however disappearing. A way of life, a part of the past.

I really like barns, you will see more here.

Orchid

Thought the contrast would look neat. I took out the the noisy background.

Elephant

Milwaukee Zoo

Added some, took some out. Had fun getting the effect I wanted.

His Domain - Great White Egret

Sometimes just the moment is enough. He flew into the frame and this happened.

I was just a visitor.

Red Barns

I look at barns, and think of a simpler time.

Yes, I do know some farmers, and there is nothing simple about farming.

Horses

Just a picture that had to be taken I softened the light, and let the picture speak.

After The Storm

The solitude of a winter road, just after the storm. The slightest of breeze will clear the trees of their winter cover.

Just Ducky

I like nature settings, and old buildings, so I have taken many. I enjoy enhancing and cleaning them up a bit.

This was just fun to do.

Morning Mist

European Red Deer

Raised near town, a wonder to see. We were lucky enough to get an early morning picture. Still close to the raod, and posing to.

Bouquet

A private garden near Green Bay Wisconsin

This to me looked like big bouquet spray.

Sand Hill Crane Family

The Sand Hill in the middle is this years offspring. They do grow fast, and will soon be gone before the snow and cold weather arrives.

Mallard Ducks

Mallard Ducks

Last winter, not more then a mile from home. A cold and crisp day, open water, the ducks find a place to splash down.

Hidden View

Hidden View

Once vital, now unused and hidden. The old barn still commands a presence, however its losing ground each year.

Here Kitty Kitty

A Picture taken at the Milwaukee Zoo.

Got close enough for a closeup. I loved his eyes.

Rowing The River

Arkansas

White River, solitude. And yes, it is that peaceful.

Cowboy & Cowgirl - At The Office

A simple western scene.

Wind, dust, cattle, a simple setting, it seemed to be a different time.

A Nautical Moment

The Great Lakes, Lake Michigan.

The sky lasted for a only a short time, morning light sneeks away so fast. A lazy day, a ship coming to port.

Color Of Summer

Taken near Green Bay Wi. A private home.

Though it is fleeting, summer is a time of color, nature at her best. Even the shades of green, are pleasing to the eye, the flowers are a bonus for sure.

On The Road

The reds, the greens, the sky. All in proper proportion.

The road the intruder, snakes its way into the horizon.

We Callled Her Bessie

A very tranquil scene. When we would stop she would always come over for a pet.

Near our home in Dousman, this past year, the farm was sold and has been divided for housing.

Blue

This lake is all glacier melt. It has a hole in the bottom, as the weather cools and the melt slows, the lake goes away.

And yes it was really this blue, bluer then then one could imagine.

Near Banff Canada

Sandhill

Normally when we stop the car, the Sandhill cranes move away. This guy was curious and moved closer. Eating and keeping an eye on us. Two others moved away.

Taken not far from home,the fog just having burned off, leaving a sea of shades of green and a few cranes.

Canadian Rockies - Alberta & British Columbia

The vastness and the beauty is never ending. After seeing infinity had a new meaning to me.

Family Outing

Sandhill Cranes

They graze like cattle, and a wonder to see in flight. If you look close you can see the little one. During the summer, this is a common site in rural southern Wisconsin. Taken near Dousman.

I just loved the sea of yellow with the backdrop of the tree line.

Red Winged Black Bird

Did not want his picture taken. Making a fuss about nothing.

Camera shy, I thought, just like some people I know.

Through The Cat Tails

Just a neat shot.

If you look very close, there is an old cat tail, a left over from last year. More will appear at the end of summer

Snowy

Fresh snow, naked trees, and mountains, most call it winter.

A beauty that has to be felt as well as seen.

The light plays with the water and trees, creating an ever changing delightful spot.

For to many years to count I have had the pleasure of counting this among my favorite spots.

Nice backdrop, for any flower.

Zion

Old abandoned house, left to fend for itself. Wind and rain, the elements take their toll.

Near Yellville Arkansas

Color of Moving Water

The simple things in life.....

Movement, reflection, color, and a very soothing sound.

Desert Bloom

A little color in the desert.

Not for long, but very bright. The desert is full of color.

Pine River In Motion

The light, color, and moving water, create a place I never get tired of visiting. 

Spring Time

Spring at Holy Hill

As each day of of the present, pushes towards the next season, a moment of green in the lush rebirth of spring.

A Bit Of Blue

The reflection of light, it plays upon the land.

A hint of blue adds so much to a white sky.

Cave Art

Lehman Caves at the entrance of Great Basin National Park.

Huge rooms, small tight passages, low ceilings, and a surprise around every corner.

Through The Willows

Not always a clear view, sometimes things get in the way.

As with many things, we have to see beyond the willows.

Rush Hour

Downtown Dousman, rush hour.

This is about as busy as it gets, in Dousman.

The sad part is, we take it for granted.

Time Passing

Just outside of town, a bend in the road.

If these wall could talk, what would they say?

Deadwood

All I could think of was beached whales.

The snow on her back, she still commands a presence, even in death.

The Grand Canyon

When I talked to a Park Ranger, he told me of a recent land slide. And pointed it out, happened over 5o years ago.

Here time is measured in the tens of thousands of years. Change takes place slow, and yet it changes before your eyes. The colors move, shadows appear, a cloud changes the mood. It will never be repeated.

Lake Mead Low Water

Again on Bobs road. An old trail of sorts, that lead here. The white is the water level of old. Thats a 150 foot drop.

Near Great Basin National Park

Bobs road my wife calls them. Turn down there she says, so I do. At the end of the road we found this building.  Cold, windy, dusty and I had to get the shot.
