The Best Photo I Have Ever Taken

This is the photo of our lifetime. Although the medical mumbo-jumbo is difficult to understand if you aren't used to reading it, this MRI report clears my wife to go to Florida with me. Thank GOD, thank God! In plain language, it says there is no evidence of a tumor remaining. There are, and these... Sign in to see full entry.

Ruffed Grouse

This is a male Ruffed Grouse, the state bird of Pennsylvania, in full display. I found him out in the opening of a large wooded area, beating his wings, making their typical 'womp, womp, womp' noise, in search of females. Some people will confuse the grouse with a partridge, but the two birds are in... Sign in to see full entry.

This photo was one of my 'curiosity shots. I spied this large snail crawling under the calmer waters along the Tahquamenon River. The water is about ten inches deep, and the snail had just left the land to go look for food. You can see its trail as it moved. The water was moving slowly, but still,... Sign in to see full entry.

hi! It has been an odd day today. We woke up together but we didn't have anything particular to do so we stayed in bed & just talked. It was very nice and fun. It has been raining or snowing or raining and snowing here all day. We can't get to Florida soon enough! I have about everything done that... Sign in to see full entry.

This is Morgan Falls near Marquette. This was taken in late September. The 'blur effect' is done by lengthening the shutter time. Instead of my normal 800 shutter speed, I think this was done at about 200. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Two Brothers, Sitting on A Log

I think these are two young (~ five or six years old) males. They were about 150 feet from me, but the zoom on my Nikon got this shot. I don't see any white bars on their plumage, so I am going to 'assume' that they're both males. Shortly after I took this shot, they took off, circled around a... Sign in to see full entry.

Whispering Foggy Roads

I stumbled across a photo I took back on a foggy morning in the late spring of 2016. This is just a winding road deep in the Keweenaw Peninsula, not far from Mama Superior. I also found the 'poetry' I used to add to such photos, and I happened to find the words I wrote for this shot. V PS: I forgot... Sign in to see full entry.

This Eagle Was Giving My Dogs 'What For!'

When the local wildlife animals get used to you being there all the time, they become familiar and comfortable with you. This particular eagle was 'talking' to my big black dog who was also 'talking' to her. Buster was doing his imitation of speech, and to my surprise, the eagle began to chatter...

The Point of Whitefish Bay Point

This is the very tip of Whitefish Bay Point. The Fitzgerald went down diagonally to the left and rear of my shoulder. The big ship was attempting to get to the right side of the point where the land would break up those waves that had over 400+ miles of open water to build speed and anger. The land...

Whooooooooo's There?

It turned out to be a decent day yesterday, so we went out for another walk in the afternoon. Buster, our big black dog, has to be given credit for spotting this creature as he saw it when I doubt that we would have ever done so. Normally, these birds begin to get here in mid-December, but...
