Finally my vacation is about over had to stop and see Crisp Point lighthouse and Lake Superior, love the scenery.
I've bought salvias in 2 shades of pink, blue and purple to add some interest to the hummingbird photos this summer. We will do an unscientific study to see what color is preferred by both males and females.

I make a mixture of mealworms, peanutbutter and chopped raisins for the bluebirds. Here he is about to get some.
You know I am not a fan of over-saturation so I will tell you that this bright blue is right out of the camera. I guess you could say he is in his breeding colors.

Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.

I got an external back-up hard drive (on sale at Costco) and put all my photos on it. Now, I've deleted most of them from my computer and have freed up over 300 GB of space! Yea.
Rising sun in Petoskey, Michigan, about 500 miles from the Canadian fires in Quebec. You can smell the smoke in the air, it feel like someone is burning stuff in their backyard. The days are hazy, people cough, and I got a headache at the end of the day. The smoke has been coming in for about a week; I can't imagine what it can be like on site.
This one acts and feeds differently from the original Mr. Bub. I guess we are calling him Second Bub.

By the way, the large bokeh circles on the right are from the camera. I did not photoshop them in.

I went out fishing with some friends last evening. I took my camera of coarse and attempted to pull a rabbit out of at hat in the middle of the lake with my camera. It was 80 degrees when we left the dock and I got some warm clothes on as I was getting jokes about being cold. 1 1/2 hours later the temperature dropped to 66 with strong winds coming off a cold lake. As everyone on the boat shook from being cold no one would admit being cold, in a joking way :) Stitched 6 shots together for the panorama.

From the Hoffmaster campground there is a small dune for climbing. Make sure to climb the dune at sunset, you will get one of the most amazing views of all Lake Michigan!
The James Whitcomb Riley rollls by State Line tower with poooch 702 leading the way toward Chicago on a cloudy March 26, 1977.
It was worth getting up early to watch the rain race across Lake Michigan.
This is dedicated to all of you who capture these type of images so well and inspire the rest of us.
I like to use f/22 to get as much detail as possible. And, the hummingbirds had already flown so I had time to change the settings. 😉

Stopped in TC the other day when we were down there and bought a big rib eye steak at The Butcher's Block grand opening. A friend the day before dropped off a bag of morel mushrooms (she knew Dave and I weren't out walking in the woods this spring). This was just before I threw on the grill. Best steak we have had in years and the mushrooms made it all the better. Next year will be out for them again.
