at the boardwalk 2

The second post from a walk on the boardwalk at Jones Beach. The Boardwalk Cafe is a recent fine addition to the Art Deco architecture (Jones Beach was created in 1929).

at the boardwalk

My wife and I are back in New York to visit my mom. It is her 90-ish birthday. I am not allowed to know her actual age! Naturally we spent some time at the shore. It was a warm, breezy day. First of a few posts from my favorite place to be.

the beginning and end

Began the day in Baraboo, Wisconsin taking a cold morning hike along Devil’s Lake. Ended the day back home. It was a good day.

end of saturday

Well, 2019 is as busy as ever. Trying to get back into the WordPress groove. This is how last Saturday made her bow. Well played, Saturday… well played.

It was a good morning… a good morning to take in the beauty… to be grateful for a new day… to be grateful for another opportunity to be the change that I want to see in the world…

polar vortex moments

Welcome to the great, wide, wonderful, ridiculously frigid Polar Vortex of 2019! Thought I would venture out into the eye of the vortex and see what it was like.

Well… wind chill temps were around -30 making both holding a camera and pressing the shutter button a challenge.

Still, I was glad to get out and capture a few images and, even happier to get back home! Wherever you are, I hope it’s warmer than it is here! Thanks for stopping by!

from the archives

I hope to get back to photography and regular posts in 2019. In the meantime, this is from the archives that I didn’t even know I had! Lake Michigan on a cold winter sunset from….some years ago.

seagull or nazgul

The bird in the image above was very content to let me take my time as I snapped picture after picture. The bird seemed to enjoy being photographed as I moved in closer, or, got low to the ground, never appearing frightened or jittery. That all changed when his buddy showed up in the image below. I didn’t know seagulls could sound like Nazgul, but that’s what he sounded like. There was no way that his friend was going to ruin a future in modeling!
