Three Lilies

A trio of lilies on a warm, humid summer day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

A simple trio of lilies shot on a warm summer day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  It seems that I like to shoot these flowers on my birthday.

Frost

"It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it." --John Burroughs Frosty ice crystals form on my office window on a very cold January winter morning in Milwaukee. They are beautiful for sure, but it has to be quite frigid for these to grow. Plus, your windows need to be a bit drafty. Oh well, the things we sacrifice for our art.

Whenever I go camping, I try to take backroads to and from the campgrounds.  You never know what hidden gems you may find.

Mirror Lake

Mirror Lake

I spent this past weekend camping in Mirror Lake State Park near Lake Delton, Wisconsin.   The leaves are changing but probably a week or two away from peak autumn color.
