Last week my constant companion for the past ten years, Disco Dog, died of a brain tumor following a very short illness. There was never any need to lock the doors while she was in charge of security. She will be missed.

I was prowling around the industrial valley in Milwaukee and came across this great tag art on a cement car near the La Farge Yard.

Andi and I spent a nice few days in Egg Harbor, on the Door County Peninsula in Wisconsin. Its a tourist trap for blue hairs. Nothing for kids. Great restaurants, some good art galleries and hundreds of little gift shops filled with trash.

A great time!

Photographing cars is fun and challenging. Strong light is your enemy. An overcast sky is best. Unlike landscapes or portraits its not about light and shadow as much as it is about color. Shiny cars reflect so well that the camera captures spectral white in bright sun.

This was a great day with my cameras…

A beautiful Spring day at the rooftop sculpture garden of the Milwaukee School of Engineering Grohmann Museum. The museum honors Man at Work.

The Glass Blower is one of nine greater than life size sculptures and five life size sculptures in the garden.

It’s abnormally Spring in Milwaukee. The snow is gone not that we had any to speak of this Winter. Global warming. Three cheers! I went to the dog park

If this weather keeps up things will green up, but for know, the plants know we have some winter to come.

Three friends.

This has been an oddly dry and warm Winter here in Wisconsin. Total snow for the season is under six inches. I’ve run the snow blower twice and that was a formality.

Walking through the pines to avoid the very muddy trail at the dog park. Be sure to vist my dodpark page.

If you can remember the 70′s its because you carried a NIKON.

That’s the caption for this picture, which I submitted to Nikonians for this month’s photo contest The only requirement was that the image feature NIKON product.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is holding a photo contest in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Calatrava designed Quadracci Center. I took this picture of my son Rusty in front of a light sculpture.

It was rejected because it violates the artists copyright, which is forbidden in the contest rules. They did opine that it was a “lovely image”.

Here’s one that they accepted:

And another.

So they want postcards, they get postcards. Regarding artist’s copyright? Some other time.

Why would I want to rake leaves…

When we can play in them.
