willow and light

Another post from our recent trip to New Buffalo, MI. There are two large willow trees (don’t you just love willow trees?) behind a hotel on the marina. I found this cature beneath the boughs of one of those old willows.

Here is another moment from our recent trip to New Buffalo, Michigan. I am looking forward to posting some pictures from our time in Montana, in the meantime, I have a few more images that I am working on.

We recently had the opportunity to spend some time in New Buffalo, MI. This is a small, beautiful lakeside town.

This was taken just a few moments after my previous post. There is a little story behind this image. The sky was stunning that day, so I began to think, "How could I be creative?" Then, it came to me! I' take a picture upside down. I know!! BRILLIANT! So-- I laid down on the road (yes... the brilliance is just oozing out!) and took this shot with the camera upside down. It was many hours later when I remembered that Lightroom, Photoshop, Pixelmator, etc., can easily flip and image. So much for artistic brilliance! — This was taken just a few moments after my previous post. There is a little story behind this image.

gotta love the Midwest

This is a short walk from my home. I am originally from New York, so, it took me along time to get over not living near an ocean (actually, I am still not over that!), not being able to bum around Manhattan, and, no mountains. It is VERY flat around here, however, over time, I have come top appreciate the 360 degree horizon, beautiful skies. This is the first of two shots taken moments apart that are examples of beautiful skies. — This is a short walk from my home.

end of day

In our little town it seems like we are surrounded by train tracks. This was taken behind our subdivision. It's a favorite spot for my youngest son (in this image) to make movies with his buddies. It's also a great place to watch the end of day. — In our little town it seems like we are surrounded by train tracks. This was taken behind our subdivision.
