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!

Hard to believe, but the year’s half over already! Here’s my July 2010 desktop wallpaper / calendar image, again in two image sizes, one wider than the other. This month’s photo is a water abstract shot in Yellowstone National Park. To set an image as your desktop wallpaper, just right-click (PC) / control-click (Mac) on…
And now for something completely slightly different! Since we’re already halfway through August, a calendar isn’t likely to be of much use – so for August 2010 I’ll just make this month’s image desktop wallpaper and skip the calendar bit. It’s still in two image sizes, one wider than the other. This month’s photo is…
Here’s an image of an aspen from my October trip to the northwoods of Wisconsin. I say “an aspen” as this is almost certainly a single organism, even though we usually refer to them as separate trees. Aspens reproduce mostly by sending out shoots from the roots – what we perceive as individual trees are…
Here are a few more autumn images from the northwoods of Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that have been languishing on my hard drive for a while… They were shot at varying locations from Mercer, Wisconsin over to Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains in the U.P. As always, I’d love your comments!…
This is a different cropping of one of the images I posted for New Year’s Day. After I’d looked at the original image for a while, I realized that this was the image I was really after (for now, at least). This seems to be a bit of a pattern with me… I could get…
Located outside Ridgeway, Wisconsin, Hyde’s Mill is a fun and moderately scenic locale to photograph. It generally doesn’t take very long to shoot there, as the mill is on private property, and so are most vantage points – really, you can only shoot from the road or, if you’re willing to trespass just a little,…
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! 🙂
