Baby, It's Cold Outside

Snow and Holidays Come to Fischer's Happy Hour Tavern

Sarah Was Very Puzzled

The mysterious form wasn't just lying there, either, but lifting and writhing in the wind!

Sunday's Blizzard

In the Wooded Dunes Again

This is what my neighborhood area of Michigan dunes looks like in late November. It will look different after snow arrives.

Leftover from Fall: A Sunset Too Good Not to Share

Walk in Wooded Dunes

Despite gunshots in the distance, we had the path all to ourselves.





Here you can see the splatter marks made by raindrops falling on the sandy trail.

It felt fabulous to be out on such a calm, mild day, taking note of all the small natural objects that will soon lie beneath a blanket of snow.

Late November Gold

A Black Beauty

Amazing how rarely a grazing horse lifts its head high. You can wait and wait and wait and wait. I need to take carrots with me the next time I visit.

That Leaf Again

Another look at a humble thimbleberry leaf.


Might this be the way a dragonfly would see it?

Unlikely Color Straight from Nature

The Illusion of Frozen Time

Except in my dreams, where the images contained begin to shift and move and transform in my hand, all still photographs freeze time. Some, though, manage to convey a sensation of movement, while others convey timelessness. Which strikes you as more timeless, sepia tone or black and white? And what do we think or feel or perceive, anyway, that we call "timeless"?

Holding Its Own Against the Wind

This was Wednesday morning. I'm afraid to revisit the scene today (Thursday).

Before Last Night's Wind

This is now the orchard on the west side of Novotny Road looked, down the hill from St. Wenceslaus Church.

First Red, Then Yellow

Cherry Orchards, Leelanau County, Late October

There is a lot of variety in color from one orchard to another and one tree to another.
