We hope all the readers are staying safe and healthy during this COVID-19 pandemic as it has a stronghold over our planet. The State of Illinois is still in a stay at home order and people are going crazy wanting to get out, including a few residents creating lawsuits against the governor for being unconstitutional with his order. Obviously these people would never survive a winter in Alaska! Those of us who live in the Midwest had our fair share of precipitation in the month of April, over five inches o ...Continue Reading

While the last update was a short four weeks ago, seems like it was months ago but so much has happened in the world since. The COVID-19 pandemic has been active for many months but it has been affecting the US in many ways for the past five to six weeks, with closing down many businesses and states to prevent spreading of the virus, ironically my printing labs have been shutdown so I can not even ship product. Looking forward, I realized this will last a long period of time and I needed to get out for a few days and cr ...Continue Reading

While the images this month will not convey thoughts of spring, due to the snow and ice content, warmer days are not far in the future. This winter has been mild in the Midwest, so winter images along with large concentrations of bald eagles that I enjoy to capture have not been available. While those days have not been available much, every opportunity of snow on the ground I make sure I get out and capture images.The first image this month is an old barn and woodshed, part of a family farm near Peoria IL. This morning ...Continue Reading

Hello to Leap Year February, where we use the calendar to align with our actual rotation around the sun - if you did not know, the earth takes 365.24 days to fully orbit around the sun. So while leap day is not exact to make up the 0.76 days, it's really close and we will forget about the extra 0.04 days since it takes 25 years to make that one full day - we make that up every centurial year where we skip leap day. The year 2000 was a centurial year but the scare of Y2K over shadowed the fact of skipping February 29 tha ...Continue Reading

Would like to apologize for the delay in this months images, it's been a long couple of weeks and I am still not home - actually was home for 8 hours for a short nap, unpack the car, pack a new bag and drive up to northern Michigan. Hopefully images captured over the last couple of weeks make up for the delay.The first image is the main reason for the recent adventure, a location known as Reflection Canyon - this is one of those spots where tourist's and regular hikers will not visit since it's a backpacking trip. ...Continue Reading

Hopefully everyone is looking forward to this months newsletter and calendar images but let me explain something first. I am currently on a two week photography trip in the Western US, so during preparation for the adventure I made sure I had images for November. Images were selected and saved on a drive, except I saved them on a drive other than my laptop. The larger problem was my template files for the calendar and website were not copied to my laptop - so basically I made a big error. Unfortuately with my trave ...Continue Reading

Hard to believe that we are in the last quarter of the year. Last week was officially the start of fall, which a few weeks ago I was starting to see leaves changing on tree's - sadly I believe this year will not be great for color, let's hope that I am wrong. Later this month I have a trip planned to Colorado and Utah, so next month I should have some stories and photos to share.The first image is Bearhat Mountain in Glacier National Park, with Hidden Lake in the foreground. Bearhat Mountain's namesake is a little ...Continue Reading

The last newsletter I mentioned having a long road trip coming up, that trip was to North and South Dakota. While visiting those states I had the pleasure of creating images in Badlands National Park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, photograph three different motorcycle racing events during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and finished the week with a music fundraiser for Easter Seals. It was a very long week but I had a great time and met great people along the way.The past week the motorsports world suffered a ...Continue Reading
