Fall colors here in southeastern Wisconsin have surprised everyone this year. Now past peak color, the countryside sparkled with bright yellows and golds. The dark red and umber of sumac adorned many hillsides along the edge of forests. In the towns, the maples were magnificent in their display of red and gold. Local wisdom claims that the beautiful fall this year is due to the … Continue reading Wisconsin’s Gorgeous Fall Colors
Chicks at the local heron rookery are looking more and more like adults, but they still lack adult plumage as well as the ability to fly. Just like the chicks, the grass in the approach to the nesting area is growing rapidly. In the last week it has grown another foot and is now over six feet high in many places. I spent two hours … Continue reading Heron Chicks Trying Out Their Wings
At the local heron rookery the chicks are growing at a phenomenal rate. How three or four chicks manage to stay in their nests without pushing their siblings out is a mystery to me. It is increasingly difficult to approach the rookery through the tall grasses. Much of the grass is now five feet tall. All of it is hip high. We have had lots … Continue reading This Week at the Heron Rookery
Out at the local heron rookery lots of new families are busy with little ones. Here are two photos of heron chicks that were taken in the last week. Be sure to click on the photos for larger sizes. I hope you like them. (For those interested, these photos were taken with a Canon 40D using a Sigma 50-500 mm. Effective focal length was 800 … Continue reading Heron Chicks at the Rookery
I just discovered a heron rookery not too far from Janesville, Wisconsin. I was there by 9:00 a.m. this morning, but the birds were already settling in for the day. There wasn’t too much activity. I’ll go again tomorrow morning if the weather is good and I’ll try to get there earlier than today. The photo above is my first attempt. The nests were approximately … Continue reading Heron Rookery – First Attempt
We like to say that the United States is a land of immigrants. Yet few of us, including myself, have ever lived the life of an immigrant and, it is unlikely that we ever will. Most of us will never experience what it is like to be a migrant. Nor will we know what it is like to be left behind. And we will never … Continue reading 2501 Migrants

Fall colors arrived late this year in southeastern Wisconsin. At first it looked as if it would be another drab year, but after the 15th of October the maples (which had been green up until that point) changed rapidly in a wonderful display of red and gold. Below are three snapshots from the area. Click the images at at least once for larger sizes. Clicking … Continue reading Wisconsin Fall Colors
Four of my photographs of Oaxaca will be on exhibit during September, 2011 at the Fiskum Gallery at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. They are part of a larger show entitled, “Viva Oaxaca.” Most of the art featured in the show was produced by the student participants in a workshop in monotype techniques taught by Professor Max White in Oaxaca during July, 2011. In addition to … Continue reading Shameless Self-promotion – Viva Oaxaca Show
