From mostly cloudy to fantastic cloudy, what a sky show.!  We have had terrific cloud formations the past couple of days.  A one mile per hour northeast wind provided us with a picture taking calm Big Blue.

  Today’s report is by Jim. Even when it’s dark, the color of the sunset lingers. Most people leave, but I stay because a camera, with a long exposure set, can capture color that is not visible to the eye. It smooths out waves, draws out clouds and simplifies chaos. It doesn’t matter when you’re there, this is Happy Hour… Read more »

A mile west of Suttons Bay, a beautiful sight.  I wasn’t alone taking pictures of this field of sunflowers, cars were pulling over all the time I was there.  I was invited to drive into the yard.  Fishtown has been my usual destination, but today was just too crowded.  In fact traffic was coming in from the south bumper to… Read more »
