A scene on the Looking Glass River along a local riverwalk.

Mast, sail, and rigging on the "Star of India", an iron-hulled, "full-rigged" ship built in 1863. She's moored at the San Diego Maritime Museum and is the world's oldest active sailing ship.

One of the local antique-and-gift shops in northern Michigan has this wonderful old, and very rusty, truck parked in front of the store. This is my favorite photo from the trip.

We have a very large snowball bush in the garden. At full bloom it's covered with baseball-size flower clusters like this one. They only last a week or two and when they shed their flowers the ground around the bush is covered in "snow". This one was the last cluster left on the bush, so we brought it in for a portrait.

An early attempt at HDR.

I found this on a local bridge. Several years later it was still there - and stlll securely locked.

An abstract macro based on a selection from my late father's machinist's tool chest.

Marsha and I went for a late-afternoon walk a local park. She suggested this abstract-like composition of light through the bare trees.

The first real snowstorm of the season provided some decoration for this River Birch tree.
