Sunny Bunny Thought for the Day: “I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.”Lou Holtz
Marco Island Causeway The sky was threatening and I wondered how much longer I should wait for the clouds to break. The first couple drops convinced me to give it up. By mid-morning the clouds began to break up, the sun shone bright and I saw why Florida is called "The Sunshine State". Thought for … Continue reading Florida Sunrise
Arc de Triomphe From the hotel, I walked 4-5 blocks to catch the sunrise over the Arc de Triomphe. With the tree-lined streets, I couldn't see the Arc during any part of the walk until it was right on top of me. Boom! Boy, that thing is huge. Sunday morning, not much traffic, but loads … Continue reading Paris Sunrise
St. Augustine , FL This beautiful seawall protects the Old Town area of St. Augustine, FL from high tides and storms along the Matanza River. It makes you feel safe, however, the seawall is no match for a hurricane. The recent flooding in eastern Nebraska, exacerbated by breached levees and failed dams, made me think … Continue reading Seawall
The moon set in the western sky about ten minutes before sunrise. I shot this the same morning I shot the Snow Geese at Desoto National Wildlife Refuge, near Blair, Nebraska. The celestial bodies were almost in perfect alignment; after shooting the moon, I turned around and shot the geese. It's called a two-fer. Thought … Continue reading Moonset

What happened here? There is a cross at the edge of the sea grass, above high tide, on the beach near the Chatham Light House on Cape Cod. The name, "Melissa", is neatly engraved on the cross, and a pair of surf siders lay at its base. This scene begs a lot of questions: Who … Continue reading Chatham Beach
Thought for the Day: To the complaint, "There are no people in these photographs", I respond, "There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer". Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)
December 31, 2011. The last day of the year. New Year's Eve. Wow, where did the year go? Another growth ring on the tree of life, so to speak. Was it a good year or a bad year? I like this time of year, for several reasons: 1) Christmas is over. There's more good things … Continue reading Another Year Down the Drain
This shot was taken on the south shore of the Cape, near Dennis Beach. The sun is behind me, barely above the horizon, but high enough to spill a red cast over the beach houses, and brighten up the breaking surf. The clouds look like a fire ball coming out of a leaking oil well minus … Continue reading Cape Cod Morning
