I’m thinking I shot the background photograph for some new business cards for Seeded Earth Photography – without intentionally doing so. Simple and descriptive at the same time. A fitting piece for a photographer based in Wisconsin and the Midwest.
The plants are just peeking above ground in this field in late May. Photographed near the tip of the peninsula of Door County in Northeastern Wisconsin.

What creature do you think passed this way? On the sandy beach tucked in front of the Whitefish Dunes on the shores of Lake Michigan. Only the shadows, only the tracks.
It is suggested that the tracks are those of a Great Blue Heron, one who seems to be dragging his feet a little in the soft sand.

All you had to do was plug the slot with a nickel, dial seven numbers, and say hello.

Whitefish Dunes State Park is on the Lake Michigan side of Door County, the large peninsula extending off the north-eastern part of Wisconsin. It has the only significant area of sand dunes on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The state of Michigan, 98 miles across the lake, sports much larger areas and much taller sand dunes.

Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes entirely within the borders of the United States; the others (Lakes Huron, Ontario, Erie and Superior) share with Canada. It is the largest freshwater lake in the US and the fifth largest lake in the world.

A boardwalk leads to the top of one of the older sand dunes, Old Baldy, protecting the plants on the sides of the dune while allowing visitors to get a great view of Lake Michigan.

The Whitefish Dunes and the Whitefish Bay area were home to eight distinct and significant Native American villages, inhabited intermittently from 100 BC to the early 1800s, and the site is protected and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
