On the way to Crater Lake. Navigating the Cascade Creek trail to Crater Lake Colorado you must follow the endless waterfalls that ramble next to the route. Stunning falls and cascades are around every switchback. One of the most brutal hikes i've had the pleasure of hiking with my son, it was also one of the most scenic.
Thanks for all the great wonderful comments.....and even all those harsh ones too. I do try to comment on your images also, there are so many gifted and talented folks here, I'm glad to be amongst y'all. Hope you all have a great sunset tonight!
Thanks Julieanne, your right this is a film shot that Sams put on a disk when i got my film developed, not the best quality....guess i got to go back and get a better quality image, not looking forward to the brutal hike....maybe those youngsters i take this next year will take it easy on me, stop to smell the forest, listen to the water as it cascades thru the majestic valley.

Siskiwit Falls Wisconsin. Located in Bayfield County, this is one of many falls flowing on the Siskiwit River, which is a small river that flows through Cornucopia, a small quaint harbor community located on Lake Superior.
We are sure to drive many miles out of our way at times to visit waterfalls. I have photos of falls in all seasons with different flow rates. Water is always on the trip planner, sometimes we go specifically for falls. Often weather can cause us to change direction in the middle of a trip just to get a high water shot. I have learned going to a waterfall in a drought area is not good, as it is also not pleasant to see hard working Americans displaced by water.

With the sensors cleaned i went out to the backyard and got a few images of what i feed throughout the year. My nieghbors tree is at peek color and it helps me here, soon to be gone though it snowed and inch and half Wednesday. Thanks for your comments! Have a great weekend....GO HUSKERS!
The tree behind the sparrow has no sun on at all so the true leaf color and shape is what you see, blurred of course caused by d.o.f. it blew me away. Any light on the leaf and the bokeh occurs.... f14 causes the branch in its entirety to be in focus...thanks for looking close at what im doing and commenting.

This is the pedestrian bridge from Omaha Nebraska to Council Bluffs Iowa. The National Park Service building sits on the south side of the bridge on the Nebraska side. This view is looking east towards Iowa. The poles coming out of the ground that are purple have glass luminating ends on them, not lit tonight. We had a hard time getting the puple lights to come on and with the high wind we had Saturday night the tops of these were swaying causing the wierd reflections between the bridge supports. You can have a fun night in Omaha, it has a lot to offer....no snow yet! Thanks Paul!Bob Kerry pedestran bridgeOmahaNebraskabridge Council BluffsIowaWWW.Photoperson.comWWW.Pictureperson.com

Old Rock Mill, Maribel Wisconsin. Built as a sawmill and converted to a grist mill in the 1850's The mill operated until 1934 when the dam was destroyed by a flood. At the time of use it used an overshot wheel, the stantion to the rear of the mill was the raceway support system that continued behind the mill northwest bound roughly five hundred yards to the Devil's River. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 1982 it now is a Museum with multiple buildings of the period and a campground is located on the hill overlooking the mill. The mill is in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. Multiple rustic roads are located within the surrounding area. Three lighthouses are within twenty miles of the mill and the surrounding agribusiness communities yield a high concentration of barns also. A great area to view fall foliage it seems to lag slightly behind the trend due to its location below the edge of a surrounding plateau.
Twin Falls Sometimes was the actual name of the fall.....heavy rain causes the second channel to casacade over the rocks. Found this next to Amnicon State Park, Wisconsin. Thanks for all the great comments yesterday!!!! Have a great weekend. GO HUSKERS!!!
Peninsula State Park from across Eagle Harbor, Lake Michigan. This was by far and away the best area for fall foliage in Door County Wisconsin. Portions of the park were closed as a few days prior to our arrival a storm generating high winds toppled trees throughout the park. There is a lighthouse and a golf course in the park. The structure is a lookout tower that gives you a birds eye view of the harbor a few island's and Lake Michigan. The road system in the park is borderd by dense forest with only a few pullouts for viewing the lake so the tower offers the best view for miles.....thanks for the great comments and questions too!!!!
The first mill...of the over three hundred mills i have visited across America this is the only one i have digital. The once shopping mall of America are a glimse into early American trade, industry and community. This mill can be found in south central Wisconsin.
Shot some great wall art the other day. This was an incredible wall, such attention to detail. The business was a metal fabrication facility. I shoot with all canon equipment and yesterday"s shot was with a 5d mark two, the bird was 60 feet out and i used a 400mm 2.8 non-IS with a 2x converter in low light.....all day. I also used a set of remotes, i found they reduced shake the most. I mentioned i was shooting all day....... This bird just happened to be here this week and is just traveling to South America or wherever it Winter"s. Thanks for the early b-day gift of the remotes Paul, Nini, Reddi and Cheech! Thanks all for all the great comments and questions too!!!!
Another of our fine friends in the backyard.....thanks for looking, have a great week!
An uplifting weekend to you.
Have a great weekend all!
Hope you have a good day, we had lunch at the lighthouse with the harbor horn sounding once every thirty seconds......have a great weekend. Thanks for looking and your comments.
Coming out from the train tracks i caught this sunset the other night. The storm chasers were parked out front of the house watching a funnel cloud twist and decend from the sky. The squall line soon passed leaving this behind for your enjoyment
Calm at last. With the hawk gone from the backyard the covey enjoys time to sit and chirp with their buddies. Not a reflection, just another sparrow on a branch behind.
The sparrow muncher is back. He thins out the covey of sparrows we have in the backyard. With mostly in air attacks it is so impressive to watch it hunt for his meals, although it is quite brutal. It just got through raining and it is about 30 yards out, we got six shots before he left the yard.
Autumn .....it's about gone in the upper midwest. Hope this makes staring down Winter better than last year. Omaha had the most consective days below freezing than many prior years....it was cold! Hope you have a great week! Thanks for the great comments!
Sunset at the boat dock......Hope your having a great weekend.
Look closely at the picture and tell me what you see! Shot this at Crater Lake Colorado last summer on our 16 mile round trip hike, it is a transfer from film to digital so dont be to hard on me.....Thanks go out to those who took the time to comment on last weeks photos! Have a great weekend.
Ok i will tell you.....the cloud against the mountain looks like a person leaning up againt the mountain to take a breather....i'm sure a hot chick.....the trail up was brutal on the body.......seemed fitting since i felt the same when i shot this picture.....the two youngsters i hike with were froliking in the lake causing the reflection i wanted to go away....thanks for looking again!
Strong Falls, Wisccosin. Hope you have a great weekend!!!!! Thank you for all the great comments!
Along the road deep into the wilderness. This is one of the old growth beech forest in Wisconsin the state had set aside this fourty acre site for preservation.....enjoy.
Thanks for all the great comments....the trip was great....Wisconsin is a great state, full of great people and beautifull sights.
La Salle falls hides at the end of the road we thought was never going to end, so far into the woods the road narrowed down to the tree limbs rubbing the sides of the car. The hike to this waterfall was long, strenuous and filled with gunshots of bearhunters in the near distance, not a good place to be guiding people though the color was spectacular. Knee deep twenty feet out into the river this was the way it looked, my feet enjoyed the cold water.
Thanks for all the great comments on yesterday's pic, sometimes it doesn't matter what camera you take into the wild its so beautiful.
The road less traveled is the best one. Shortly it turns to gravel and puts you next to the rivers edge where the foliage lights up the viewfinder. Wisconsin, the road to Strong Falls.
Thanks for making yesterday's photo go to the front page and all the awesome comments!!!! Paul Sr.www.photoperson.comwww.pictureperson.comphotoperson.compictureperson.comphotopersonpicturepersonpaulbellingersr
Door County Wisconsin, the Newport Conifer Hardwoods area offered us up a top 100 barn of America, so the sign said out front. Hard to see when the crops are high they were just starting to harvest the field next to the barn. Foliage was at the peak here and we were blown away with the beauty of this great state, what a find for the barn portfolio. Thanks for the awesome comments everyone!!!!
Deep into badger country we are at Mc Clintock falls when i spot this bald eagle 200 yards out. We are as far into the woods as we get on this trip....so i am told. Wisconsin Rustic Road 32 was the best foliage in the whole state hands down, the falls are just a half mile off this road. America the beautifull happens here daily, many miles from civilization this is a must see spot. Traveling almost two thousand miles this trip we saw little wildlife, so when i spotted this eagle i ran to the car and got out the 400mm threw on the 2x converter and got four rounds off before it flew away. Before leaving Nebraska we maped out all the rustic roads of Wisconsin, specifically looking for fall foliage, the state becons with beauty on these roads, we found so many great photography opportunities on these roads we could have stayed for many days....
Vacation over.......Wisconsin.....again.....We got a lot a gruff and some would call it abuse from our midwest nieghbors on this trip, but let it be known we went into the badgers den with our Nebraska tags on the vehicle with big Nebraska stickers on the side of the vehicle and we always had on a Nebraska shirt or sweats. So the next few weeks i will get into the trip in detail.....four days in Wisconsin wilderness, the badgers den....Thanks for all the great comments
Loveseat on the trail.....Copper Falls State Park, Wisconsin.
The Bad River Cascades, Wisconsin.
A stormy fourth of July weekend in Omaha...this storm took out our power for a few days, the folks across the street basking in air conditioning. Front yard seating area in independance attire. Thanks for all the great inspiration with your comments
ready for harvest......
Ghooooulish treat out on the deck setting up for last nights dinner......
Just east of Kansas City on I-70 feeder road i finally got a good shot of this barn. Most of the time there is a peice of equipment or something that voids the beauty of this place....enjoy, and thanks for all your great comments
Awaiting the harvest.....Wisconsin barns.
Went down to the train tracks last night at sunset. Moving money, Union Pacific coal train on the return trip empty back to Wyoming. The sunset is now aligned with the tracks when on the horizon, it happens for only a week and its been bright, no clouds at sunset......thanks for the great comments!
The sun setting, it is time to decent and pack them up, Indianola Iowa. Thanks for all the great comments!
Sunrise at the sandhills.....Nebraska is a beautifull state, you just have to have the camera ready, and look beyond the corn and cows.
Husker Nation flag pole lit up last night.....did some BBQing too....front porch.
