Milwaukee Art Museum...

Last weekend my wife and I flew to Wisconsin to visit her grandmother and many extended family members. Other than having beer, cheese, and sausage, my favorite thing to do in Milwaukee is visit the architecturally astonishing Milwaukee Art Museum.

Cool Mountain Waters...

In case you guys didn't know...I'm obsessed with mountain creeks...so here's a couple shots from yesterday! These were made in Roaring Creek, North Carolina near the Appalachian Trail.

Roaring Creek and New Neighbors...

I had to give my Dad and Grandfather a hand removing a fallen tree from the path that leads from our "summer house" down to Roaring Creek yesterday. Before the work began, I took a few minutes to make some photographs of the creek. I never get tired of it there. I've shot thousands of frames of the creek over the years, yet every time I go back I find a new feature that catches my attention.

The day before, while loading some old bathroom tiles onto a trailer to haul away, I discovered a fist-sized toad hiding under the pile. I followed Mr. Toad around the yard and took a few portraits until he disappeared under a log. There were also two other surprises under the pile of broken tiles, a small water snake and a northern ring-necked snake. Both slithered away before I could get a shot.
