These photos are from my trip to the International Crane Foundation in Baraboo Wisconsin. I visited there in July of this year while enroute from Denver to Milwaukee. Its a great place as it has many nice nature trails and a well done habitat for the cranes. One of the things I’m most impressed with [...]

Milwaukee Sunrise
I caught my first sunrise over Lake Michigan back in September and am just getting around to posting it. It was quite a nice morning with a cool breeze coming off the lake. I tried to catch the birds flying in front of the sun, but it was hard for the camera to focus. Low [...]
Elk In RMNP
These are not from the elk rut event mentioned in the last post, but are from a week or two before after hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. I took these from my car on the side of the road as the elk was about 20-30 feet away.
Colorado Colors
I’ve been taking some time over the last few weeks to go through the thousands of photos I have collected from my 13-months in Colorado. I’m only at early fall so far and thought I’d share a few of the fall color photos that didn’t make it into earlier posts. The following were taken on [...]
Wisconsin Downys
I went for a walk in Wehr Nature Center over the weekend and noticed quite a few downys enjoying the warm autumn morning. Luckily, I was able to get several very good photos of them. They are usually very active, quick, and hard to get a good photo of, so I was very pleased with [...]
Lawrence University & Appleton, WI
After hiking at High Cliff State Park, I took a ride into Appleton, WI. I’ve met two people from Appleton over the last 30 or so years, so figured I’d check it out since I was so close. It turns out its a pretty neat little town. It has the same peaceful feel to it [...]
High Cliff State Park
I took my first road trip this morning to High Cliff State Park, which is on the shores of Lake Winnebago - the largest lake in Wisconsin. I started the morning by heading out on the Lime Kiln Trail just as the sun was rising. As the forest was beginning to wake up, I discovered [...]
Wehr Nature Center
I’ve been speding a lot of time at the Wehr Nature Center in Whitnal Park over the last few months. One particular place I frequent is the waterfall at the north end of Mallard Lake (also called Whitnal Lake). I’ve been working on the technical aspects of making the water look silky, which has been [...]
