Mike and I traveledto Naval Station Great Lakes for his son’s graduation from Recruit Training this past week. Many times traveling thru Wisconsin I have past the Cabela’s superstore and [...]

Winter Beyond the Window
Posted in Winter Confines, tagged an artist's studio, winter photo on November 19, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Winter is beyond my second floor studio window, but I do not have to go out into it until 2p.m. so for now I can edit and be warm.

Mike and I are headed out on a road trip this Thursday and we will return on Saturday (late). How I wish this trip would take us to warmth and sun–but the weather is pointing to snow and cold. We are not going too far, destination Naval Station Great Lakes for Terry’s graduation from Navy [...]

Driving Home

Driving home last night mean curving round Teal Lake in the dark. The road was wet under the snow, I felt I was hydroplaning even though I was driving on snow pack with ruts. The day started with me leaving Marquette at 7:15 a.m. and heading to Aspen Ridge to substitute teach. Looking at the [...]
Second Day of Firearm Deer Season

It was with deep regret that I realized yet another good excuse to NOT get out of the car and take photos when it is cold. I had no hunter’s orange to wear. No red. Sure the snow was coming down on a bit of an angle and the railroad tracks look to lead into [...]

Winter Flocking
Posted in Ordinary Grey Day, tagged Canon s5, flocking birds, the coming of winter on November 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Before the rains turned to snow a flock of 50-60 birds swooped from yard to yard, quickly, synchronized. You could hear them take flight. This shot was taken through our bay window that has screens with a Canon s5, zoomed. Photo captured November 8, 2008.
Winter has arrived…

You can hope that winter will hold off, because in the Upper Peninsula you know just how long winter can last. Friday, I found myself singing Christmas Carols while wandering Target. And it is easy to be excited at the first few snow flakes when you think of a White Christmas. But my yard is [...]

A Winter Journal, Notes from the Upper Peninsula will be a nature journal, a place to practice my craft, but more-so a place to cope with winter of which I am not fond. My hopes are to better my writing, photography and get through the season with less symptoms of seasonal affective disorder.
Winter in the [...]
