I picked up daffodils yesterday to bright up my weekend. They were tight buds when I brought them home... today they are open and beautiful. Love the effect of the soft focus, image looks like a painting.

Trees at Dusk

Driving home from work this evening I was noticing the trees. I love how every branch, every twig is contrasted against the sky. Once I was home I quickly grab my camera to take a few shots of the trees. I braced myself against the tree to get the sharpest image possible.

Palm Sunday

This morning I attend Fox River Congregational Church to celebrate Palm Sunday, also know as Passion Sunday. While at church I had the opportunity to take this photo that seems appropriate for the day.

Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day to be out and about. I went to Hartland to do some banking. As I pulled into the parking lot of the bank this scene caught my eye. It was serene. This is a section of the Bark River that runs through downtown Hartland. The foot bridge that crosses the river is part of the Ice Age Trail.

Bark

I worked late, I'm tired and it's Friday.... I needed a quick and easy shoot. I have been saving photographing the bark of the oak tree in our back yard for an occasion like this. You can almost reach out and touch the bark.

Underwood Creek

I discovered Underwood Creek while driving through Brookfield this weekend. It left an impression with me and thought that I would returned next time it snowed. Well, I did not have to wait long because it is snowing again today. It's not as impressive as I thought that it would be, however, I'm selecting this images as my photo of the day.

Amaryllis Flowers

This is the same amaryllis plant from March 15 posting, the growth is remarkable.

Our Lady of Divine Providence - St. Casimir

I stopped and visited my son, Vic and his girlfriend, Nellie today. On the corner from where they live stands this amazing church. Our Lady of Divine Providence  - St. Casimir is located on Clark and Bremen Street. It was built in 1899 - 1901. I feel like I stepped back in time just standing on the steps of the church. It was a honor to photograph such a historic building.

Emerging Amaryllis

In the image above you can see the two spathes starting to split apart on the inflorescence, revealing the amaryllis flowers inside. I'm experimenting with a different background today - I like the results.

Amaryllis

I have amaryllis plants at different stages of growth. The flowers have emerged from the amaryllis bud, getting ready to bloom. I will photographing them for the next few days. Enjoy.

Industrial Simplicity

This building is adjacent to the building I work in. It just seemed like another ugly industrial building. Today the light was shining on it just right and it caught my eye. The contrast of the white and blue was striking.
New Berlin, WI

Windmill

My travels took me south on Calhoun Road and I made a quick stop at Sugar Creek Antiques Mall. I took the opportunity to photographed a few things while there. This shot of the windmill is my favorite of the day.
New Berlin, WI

View Through the Fence

I made a quick trip to the New Berlin country side during my lunch break and this caught my eye. My first thought was photographing the simplicity of the corn rows and then discovered the view was more interesting through the fence.

Foggy Morning

Very foggy morning created by change in temperature. Hope this is the beginning of the end of winter.
Pewaukee, WI.

Eble Barn

Rain was predicted for most of day. I was able to get to out between the rain drops. The photo of Eble barn certainly depicts the grayness of the day. This barn is located on Eble Farm, a small county park on busy Bluemound Road.
Brookfield, WI

Thistle Painted by Hoar Frost

It was a frosty morning, so I headed off to an area that I've seen hoar frost before. Hoar frost was everywhere. I was pressed for time but was lucky enough to capture a few frosty photos.
Pewaukee, WI

Icicles

I was able to get out and take a few photos this morning before going off to work. It surprised me when I came around the rear of the house to find icicles all along the back. Made for a photographic moment.
Pewaukee, WI

Weathered Gray Barn

This barn is located up close to the edge of Woelfel Road. Made it easy for me to stop and jump out of my car when I was out for lunch today and take this photo. The texture and color of the weathered wood is extraordinary.
New Berlin, WI

Snow Fields

I went out this afternoon during a snow storm in hopes of capturing my photo of the day. I have photograph this scene several times on snowy days and never really liked the results, but today it works for me. I love the coloration of the trees. Some appear black, others brown. The snow flurries are a subtle component of the finished photo.

Winter Scape

.
Another gray, overcast, winter day in Southeastern Wisconsin. Another winter scene. What I like about this photo are the horizontal lines though out... the clouds, tree lines and fencing.
New Berlin, WI

Snow Angel

Went for a hike today in Simmons Woods, found a snow angel along the trail. It reminded me when my own children had fun making them in the snow.
Pewaukee, WI

Pure as the Sun

Traveled north on KE looking for my photo of the day. It was getting late in the afternoon and the sun was getting lower in the sky. This church steeple with the sunlight shining brightly upon it, stopped me in my tracks. It's the First Baptist Church of Merton that now serves as a community center. After 4 days without sun shine, it was so great to see the sun again.
Merton, WI

Lost Artistry

Returned to the stone foundation one last time to capture the detailing of the stone work of the silo. The joint beading is unique and quite interesting. The silo has a corner stone dated 1910.
