Here's another shot from my trip to the Wisconsin Northwoods earlier this month… There was a lovely fog that morning, but it burned off entirely too quickly – there were more locations and compositions I wanted to shoot, but I ran out of fog and time!

At long last, after 2 extensions to the voting period, the Outdoor Photographer Magazine’s 2nd Annual Nature’s Colors photo contest has come to a close! One of my images, Autumn Falls At Pewit’s Nest 9454-2 (shown below), was a finalist in the contest and in fact made it to the top 20 in the People’s…
I attended Brad Nordlof’s Landscape Photography presentation last night at Camera Craft in Rockford. Brad showed slides (on the large-screen TV) of his photos and offered tips and advice to fellow photographers. Due to some initial time lost on technical difficulties with the TV’s interface to the computer, Brad had to omit some material –…
Here is the first handful of photos from my trip to Alaska in June 2011. I’m at a loss for words to describe the expansive grandeur of the Alaskan landscape. Mountains, lakes, ocean, forests, meadows, rivers; moose, bear, Dall sheep, sea otters, sea lions, porpoises, whales, eagles, puffins – I could go on for days…

Many thanks to all who attended the opening reception for “The Wonder of Light” last night! We had a great turnout, and I enjoyed meeting and talking with so many people who enjoy fine art photography. Even if you couldn’t make it last night, you still have lots of opportunities to see the exhibit! The…
Here’s a photo from a recent visit to Pewit’s Nest, in the Baraboo Hills of Wisconsin. It’s an image of the reflection of trees in a stream – look closely, and you can make out the leaves and sticks on the stream bed mixing in with the reflection of the leaves, trunks, and branches of…
Very nice Jack. It reminds me of the area I lived in back in Minnesota before I moved west. It triggers some pleasant memories.
Thanks, pj. I really miss this sort of scene when I’m away from the northwoods…
I love this type of stuff Jack. Great examples of the textures and warm brown tones that exist after the “in your face” color has passed.
btw, I can’t really see the text in your reply to PJ above, seems to be white text on a light blue background. Probably a CSS tweak in your new theme?
Thanks, Mark, and thanks for pointing out the css issue… hopefully it’s a bit easier to read now! 🙂

Nice blog and wonderful photography. Thanks for sharing.
Dear Jack, I am just Loving what I have seen so far, your images are amazing on how I experience a closer connection to nature. They remind me of our Central Ontario area of The Muskokas and Algonquin Park, my ancestral home and family lineage. As fourth generation Algonquin I am always drawn to images of the wilderness and the spiritual draw on my soul. I hope you take a peak at my collection of some of my most precious gems in nature that I enjoy so much. They are all my favorite ” Sit Spots”
Thanks, Steven, and thanks for visiting – come back anytime! 🙂
