Lighthouse and Daffodils

May 1st, 2008 Author: Steven

Spring is here in Wisconsin, the birds and the flowers are telling us so. Here are some Daffodil shots from out at Petrifying Springs (I called it Petrified Springs before, that was wrong.)

The same evening that we shot these daffodil pics, we ran out to the Wind Point Lighthouse in Racine in hopes of catching a nice sunset. Well the sunset didn’t happen the way I hoped, but I got some interesting shots of the lighthouse after the sun went down. Some of them even have the light in the shot.

You guys may remember the pictures I took a month ago of the Wind Point Lighthouse in Racine. I went over there last weekend and took some more on a day when the clouds were very pretty in the sky and the wind was whipping across Lake Michigan out of the north.

I also got some wild pictures of a very angry and stormy Lake Michigan that day. I don’t know how hard the wind was blowing that day, but the closer you got to the lake, the harder it blew. I was getting blown around pretty good for these shots.

Spring has Sprung

You want some proof that spring has sprung back here?
Here it is.

It pretty tough to shoot the same composition on a picture that you shot months earlier. I think I did a pretty good job. I plan on shooting this shot in the summer and fall too. Hopefully they don’t move the bench.

Petrified Springs Pictures

Remember on Friday my post said something about a storm coming in and bringing about 5 inches of snow. Well that storm came in on Friday and raged all day. It dumped over a foot of snow in the Kenosha area and turned into one of the biggest storms of the season. It was a good thing I left on Thursday.

On Saturday Lynne and I went Petrified Springs Park to take pictures of the snow. Here are a few of the better shots. I’m not posting all of the shots, it’s just to much of a pain at the moment. I will get all of them up on Flickr later.

Ok guys, you know she loves you when she’ll wade through a foot of snow to make tracks for your pictures.
