"Even The Stones Dream" was taken in my garden of mostly weeds. I cast the face out of cement and use several of them as decorations there. The day this was taken was very hot and muggy and I think I got about ten mosquito bites in the few minutes it took to snap this picture.

I took this image on a frosty morning at the Menomonie Wastewater Plant. Hoar frost had encircled the end of a pipe. I used the macro setting. The center of the image is simply light from the other end of the pipe. The only alteration is trimming.

This winter we had exquisite frost formations inside a compromised thermopane. Next year the window will probably have developed a permanent fog. But we will still have the capturesd images!

This was the first time our daughter tried baby food. After the first bite she looked at us like..."This is what I have to eat...are you kidding??" I was so glad that I captured the expression.

The beauty of this morning was breathtaking. It was the morning of our huge snowstorm in March...all the snow had melted...then came MORE...but who really cared with a sight like this!!! This was taken from a 3rd floor balcony at Syverson Lutheran Home looking towards Owen Park.

This picture was taken from a 3rd floor balcony at Syverson Lutheran Home. The view from there is just amazing, and even though we woke up to one of the worse snowstorms of the winter, the view in itself was well worth it. This is part of Owen Park and the back side of the University.

This was taken northwest of Elk Mound. The sun was coming up, the moon was going down.

One of those days when smoke travels horizontally. This was from an outdoor wood furnace so it is pretty low temperature smoke and that might have helped. Location is near intersection of hwy. 40 & E between Elk Mound and Colfax.

This is along the Chippewa River Trail between Caryville and Meridean.

Prairie Clover - Taken at Phoenix Park in Eau Claire. The area between the park and the Chippewa River has been seeded with wild flowers and is a wonderful place to spend a relaxing morning taking pictures.

My friend Tony Wolf who was a stone cutter for many years. He came into our restaurant in Downsville during the last few years of his life several times a week where he ate and talked to us. He taught me most of what I know about the history of the area. Sadly, he has recently passed into history. He was 94 years old.

Our cat thinks she is human...she thinks she gets cold...she is just one of us...
