Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Female Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Rose-breasted Grosbeak

On a recent camping trip in Northern Wisconsin, we had the pleasure of having a Rose-breasted Grosbeak nest above our friend’s site next to ours. Apparently both male and female share incubation duties on the nest. I set up a tripod and tried to catch them at shift change. #birdphotography

The first photo is an all-steel home made using corrugated steel panels for walls, without a frame. The second was clad with an artificial stone called Rostone which was billed as never needing repairs, but only lasted until the 1950s. The third is a modernist home designed for Florida.

After the closing of the World's Fair, in 1935, five houses were moved by barge from Chicago to their current location at the (then new) residential development along Lake Michigan called Beverly Shores in Indiana.

Trillium

This last week saw the blooming of Trillium in my area. Seeing the white or purple flowers dot the brown landscape is one of my favorite sights yet always somehow comes as a surprise (oh look, Trillium!) It welcomes a new season to the woods.

Vote Against Prohibition ghost sign.

VOTE AGAINST PROHIBITION ghost sign in Fells Point, Baltimore. Painted in the 1920s when alcohol became illegal via the 18th Amendment and Baltimoreans protested. Apparently, when the ban did go into effect, lawmakers in Baltimore did not pass legislation to enforce the federal measure. #ghostsigns

Pileated Woodpecker

Pileated Woodpecker

I finally got a couple shots of a Pileated woodpecker the other day. A bird that eluded me until now. Turns out, I actually photographed two.
The first shot, a male which has a red stripe along its cheek. The second shot is a female which lacks this stripe.

Cubanola Cigars ghost sign, Baltimore, MD

I got to see a bit of Baltimore and track down this huge, multi-layered, Cubanola 5¢ Cigars ghost sign. This was protected under siding for many years so the color is amazing! #ghostsigns #photography

Barred Owl

Cooper’s Hawk

A couple recent sightings. A Barred Owl and Cooper’s Hawk. The perspective of the owl shot is deceiving. He was directly over my head looking down at me. #wildlifephotography

Hang in there folks! #nature-photography

Sandhill Crane

Blood moon

Barred Owl

Some random photos from this week. We had lots of odd weather here in Wisconsin. It went from 70°s, to crazy winds, to a couple inches of snow today. The Sandhill cranes came back in force this week, and the moon was red for a bit. Only the squirrels were balanced.

Rusty old car

Random rust shot.

I love how the fog gives these images a feeling of mystery and a sense of being enveloped by the natural world.

‘Muffler Man’ statue at Gus’s Drive-in in East Troy, WI

A repurposed ‘Muffler Man’ at Gus’s drive-in restaurant in East Troy, WI. The first one of these iconic statues was created in 1962 and was actually a Paul Bunyan figure holding an axe. #retroroadsidephoto

This clearly illustrates what Instagram has done to still photographers.
A photo I recently posted was also posted a little over a year ago as well. Look at what happened to the reach of non-followers! #instagram
