Lily pads and lotus stemmed leaves dominate the foreground. Middle ground a bed of lily pads and lotus flowers. Bluffs along the main channel of the Mississipi River can be seen in the background. Bright green and blue are the dominate palette.

Hopefully this scence will be recreated this year. Lily pads and lotus flowers.

As the demands on Wisconsin’s energy grid keep growing, could nuclear power be the best option?

Tonight at 6, are the fears behind nuclear power still valid? A closer look at the pros, cons and when we could see a power plant here. #coulee #nuclearpower #driftless

Loose brush showing scrub trees and golden grasses in the foreground. Bluffs of the Driftless region in the background with a blue sky. The blackbirds, tiny specks, gather to the right of the image in trees and the grasses.

Gathering of blackbirds.
Informed by a photo from September, 2022.

Every year blackbirds gather for their migration to somewhere hopefully warmer.

1990s picture of the “homeymoon cabin” where my grandparents starting farming after getting married in the 1940s. The barn and outbuildings were bulldozed in the 1970s. My uncle eventually bulldozed the house, an now there is no trace of the farm

1980s picture of a tractor hauling away the trailer house I called home until I was three years old. I still remember this event. “Hey, they are stealing our house!” The mailbox at the bottom of the hill marks the extreme southwestern limit of the massive Driftless Zone that covers much of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota.

My dad circa 1970.

Me as a baby. I was a cute kid, and it was all downhill from here.

Spent a good part of yesterday writing. I’m frustrated with my slow progress, so even a 1,000 new words feels good.

Brought studio lights into a freezing river to photograph guide Bob Humphrey in Minnesota’s Driftless region for his business.
Cold water, steady hands, and a lot of trust.
