Beauty On The Edge

Blooming on the edge of an almost 200 foot cliff over Lake Superior, these Bunchberry (creeping dogwood) plants have quite the view.

Stormy Country Field

Severe thunderstorm warning was issued Friday, July 8th 2016 for Lansing, Michigan and the surrounding areas. The storm had a top wind speed of 63 miles an hour, it knocked down hundreds of trees and knocked power out to thousands of people.

Phenomenal Morning

It’s always a photographers dream to get a phenomenal sunset or sunrise in that perfect iconic place. It is a dream because incredible sunrises and sunrise are rather rare and the chances of all the ideal factors lining up are even more rare. I knew the fall colors were peak but heavy rain (inches) and strong winds swept through the area and I had concerns that all the leaves would drop because of the bad weather. As I was driving to the sunrise that morning a hard freeze happened and I could see piles of leaves laying on the ground. Really making me question if driving the 8 1/2 hours was worth it. The clouds started to build and the sun started to rise. It was only a matter of time before the sun exploded with color and lit up the incredible fall colors. As a photographer mornings like that is why I do what I do.

Aqua

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love moody skies!!! I love them so much I actually purposely drove to the Traverse City area to photograph in the moody skies. Sometimes the weather gets a little too rough but when it pulls out of it you get some fantastic scenes. The amazing aqua waters near the base of the Charlevoix Lighthouse were awesome when they were paired with those moody skies.

Michigan's Canada

I arrived at this location in the pitch dark to ensure I wouldn’t miss the first light of the day. The darkness and rather rocky/rooty trail made for a tricky blind hike. However, it is all worth it because you are treated this lovely view of Porter's Island. This landscape reminds me more of Canada, than that of Michigan.

Tropical...Storms

As many of you know I love to photograph the Mackinac Bridge. I have been wanting to capture the bridge with beautiful thunderstorms clouds for years. Time and time again it was simply too nice out. Well after years I finally got it! I loved that the sun lit up the water near the shoreline and gave the water a tropical feel.

A Morning At Eben Ice Caves

The Light Switch Over

As one light sets the other takes over. Little Sable Lighthouse is becoming one of my favorite lighthouses. It was so peaceful to sit and enjoy the sunset as the clouds got painted with brilliant colors. Little Sable Point Lighthouse, Mears, Michigan
