Took a walk today on the beach along Lake Michigan. The ice dunes mark the water line. They are unsafe to go on, but beautiful to look at. (Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, 2026)

Walking along Harbor Park is usually lovely. This cold day in January there was no wind, lots of sun, and great views up the Lakeshore. Didn’t know it would be my last winter living along the Lake. (Kenosha, Wisconsin 2014)

The Calatrava-designed Milwaukee Art Museum is spectacular when illuminated at night. I was a bit surprised to see it look so lit that night. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2025)

I was having lunch with a friend the other day and she was talking about going up in the lighthouse for the solstice. As I was listening to her I realized I lived across the harbor from the lighthouse and I had never climbed up it–but I have a number of photos, (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2012)

Kathleen took this one, but it is excellent. We had just had a quick snowfall with very cold temperatures. Lake Michigan steamed like the Gordon Lightfoot song said. (Kenosha, Wisconsin 2013)

We were flying to New York on an cold day. The ice on Lake Michigan was thick and the steam from the power plant was hanging in the sky below us. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin 2019)

Out with Kathleen and Bella the Greyhound on a fabulous day on Lake Michigan. Seems like yesterday, but it was 45 years ago today that Kathleen and I went out for the first time.. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2013)

I have been down to Kenosha a few times in recent weeks. The lighthouse was purchased in 2011 and is privately owned. Living on the harbor was always beautiful–days like these were especially so. People forget that the weather around here is often spectaular in September and October–warm sun and cool breezes. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2012)

I had one of those jobs that were routinely 10-14 hours per day. I was often in early to jet a jump on things before others arrived. The job came with this fabulous view of Lake Michigan which was even better at sunrise. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2011)
