This photo was taken in the winter of 2014 when a large portion of the Great Lakes froze over. This is the first time I ever witnessed a Red-Breasted Merganser walking along the pavement. This duck was out of his element and suffering. Some very kind souls took many of the diving ducks to the Humane Society where they recovered, but hundreds and thousands died. It looked like a massacre and I will never forget the sight.
Out for the first time in months yesterday. Seeking some peace of mind, so of course you know where I found myself. Standing alone on US 6, eyes on some ancient neon, mind on that old poem, and Van on my ipod singing what I've been feeling and blowing some mighty soulful sax. Funny, I was nearly stranded right there last night, literally! Ladora always has some lessons for me . . .

Check this out Large On Black to appreciate the beautiful rock textures.
Went out this morning for a shoot, Sunrise started out looking good, then ran out of puff.
I love these rocks, the textures are equisite!
Saw this poor little buoy washed ashore

We don't sail in water deeper than we can wade in.

Mini-icebergs stranded in shallow water as seen in a brief window of reflective evening light. The shot was taken shortly after sunset, looking East. This light only lasted about 2-3 minutes and it was gone. Lake Huron, Michigan.

I was shooting the landscapes from the cliffs of Pampskatan, and I noticed this fishing boat in the distance. It didn't raise my interest at first, but when I heard loud talk and laughter from the boat, and realised that it hadn't moved for at least an hour, the situation started to get more interesting.
I grabbed the long lens and waited a while to get better lighting on the scene. It was very cloudy, and the sun rays got through every now and then, so I knew there was a good chance of the light hitting the boat at some point.
I waited for about 20 minutes and I got the shot.
Luckily the boat stayed very still, and didn't get blurred.
The coast guard came to help them eventually, and towed the boat to the shore.
This poor guy (gal?) was on the beach in La Jolla Cove this morning, and was apparently sick or injured. I got off several shots early in the morning, and it looked to me like he/she was sick or otherwise not having a good time.
Some of the locals seemed to think it was funny to let their large dogs bark at the poor thing from only feet away. Sometimes I think people are all rotten and evil at heart.
