When not in a hurry...

It is amazing the things I notice around my house when I don't have to rush out immediately. I actually had a few moments to myself before work...and this is what I saw, the trees in the front yard in my living room.

Look what I found

Can you figure out what it is? There was a fire and this is all that remains of a church in Madison. I got so excited when I spotted this the night before. We had to come back the next day to get this photo.

If in Madison...

You must go here. Amazing food and lots of fun! The interior of the restaurant is just as cool as the outside and good food to boot!

Flowers and a Pug

My sister's dog, I can't help but love this dog. Random flowers around her house.

My Garden

I came home from vacation to find these!

The Results

See another lovely photo here done by my friend.

Feeling a bit like an artist

My sweet friend and I created this contraption that allowed us to take photos through the viewfinder of this old camera with our digital cameras.

The Un-Landscape

This is more of an air-scape.

On My Way

I love taking pictures while in the air.

Picnic Table - Part 2

After I "pulled the weeds" from this photo. Is it better? I think so.

2nd day of Spring?

It might be the second day of spring, but no one is planning on picnicking yet...this is at Gooseberry Falls State Park.

The Splendor of Autumn - part 2

Here's the last leaf photo and the promised driftwood.

The Splendor of Autumn

I couldn't contain myself, so here are a whole bunch of photos of leaves and one of driftwood to keep it interesting.

Iris

Lovely. Simple lovely.

Beautiful

I was driving home from work when I saw this one day. It made me smile.

Fireworks

We went to Duluth this year to see fireworks as we were camping in nearby Jay Cooke State Park. I'm posting this photo just for my sister, let's see if she checks it out before I get to her house!

The Quietness of a Small Town

Here are some images from our trip to Verdigre, NE. It's a quiet, unassuming small town in the sandhills of Nebraska. Time seems to pass by unnoticed here.

My Front Yard

Ice on Lake Superior

The ice was piling up along the shore of the lake at Gooseberry Falls State Park. It was incredible to see and hear. The noise from the cracking ice was like nothing I've ever heard. And, yes it was very cold out there.

Frosty Morning

This was the most beautiful day with everything all frosty and white. This is what I love about winter.

Pinhole Camera Fun

This photo is about a year old. It took me that long to use the film. This is from the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Art by nature

Moments

James Stewart

Alfred Hitchcock and James Stewart....my kind of movie. I was testing my flash and watching Vertigo. Hitchcock does suspense in a way that is so perfect....it's all about anticipation, no gory scenes.

Falling for Fall

Ok so this photo was actually taken last year, but it got me all wishful for the colors of autumn to appear. There is just something about fall...

My Happy Place

Lake Michigan - as close to the ocean as I can get
