Strawberry Island

Still doing photos from last summer. How did I ever manage to get such a backlog? This photo is from a cloudy, windy August day in northeastern Wiscosnin’s Door County. I spent a long afternoon sitting on the beach watching the clouds drift over Strawberry Island. I remember thinking everyone else was in such a hurry to go see something, go do something. I was pretty satisfied doing what I was doing — thinking about “stuff” and watching the clouds drift by. Once in awhile I’d pick up my camera and take a couple of photos.

Aren’t those clouds something to behold?

remembering summer

I’ve been working on my photography portfolio and wading through thousands (yes, thousands) of images, deleting most and working on a few. This is one of the photos that caught my eye, I think because the leaves of the plant seem almost like a shadow.

It’s nice to be going through summer photos right now.  I am trying to take each day as it comes, and appreciate February as it is, but I do admit my heart and soul are waiting for warmer weather and the appearance of wildflowers and color again.

The photo of the clover was taken last summer in Door County, one of my favorite places in Wisconsin, and where I go when I want to get away.

Memory is the best of all gardens. Therein, winter and summer, the seeds of their past lie dormant, ready to spring into instant bloom at any moment the mind wishes to bring them to life.    ~ Hal Boyle

...and a Tree

Still taking a lot of my photos on half day drives through the countryside. I liked the way the bit of a shadow in the right lower corner seemed to mimic the lines of the tree.  Got warmer today though, and much of the snow cover is disappearing fast.
