Here’s some scenery from my trip also. Unfortunately, it was cloudy most of the times I tried to take scenery pictures on this trip. Still, I got some and I played with Photoshop filters to salvage others.

Rocks and Water
Here’s another collection from my Wisconsin trip. Mostly rocks and water in black and white. Most of them are from the shore of Lake Superior in Duluth. Yes, I know that’s not in Wisconsin. But it’s on the way. The first three are from Sister Bay, which is in Wisconsin.
Some of these are available as prints.
Macro Photos of Flowers
I just came back from a family trip up to Wisconsin. Since the kids wouldn’t have the patience to wait for me to draw pictures of the things I saw, I took photos instead. Even that tried their patience a bit, but they lived through it. 🙂
Here’s a collection of close-up flower shots I took. Both garden flowers and weed flowers. And three that aren’t actually flowers, but they are plants. I don’t know what all of them are, but if you recognize one that isn’t labeled, let me know.
Some of these are available as prints.
Happy Fourth of July!
And what better way to usher in this day of independence than with a little felony property damage? That’s just what happened to us. A bit after midnight someone was screwing around outside and lit off some explosives in our mailbox. Yes, there was mail in it. And the backend blew all the way up to the porch. Completely shredded the box. And the mail.
So, to make lemonade out of lemons, I figured I’d take some pictures and make them all artsy (by that, I mean black and white) for you all.
Anyhow, Trevor filed a police report and the officer told him it was a felony. But, of course, no one will ever get charged because we don’t know who did it. My money’s on damn punk kids.
Rabbit Pictures (or maybe it’s a hare)
So, today I went out to my garden to see if there were any peas to pick. Someone had left the gate open, and there was a bunny inside. So, I closed the gate and went back in for my camera. These are the pictures I took before I let the bunny out again. I think I need to weed the garden.
Yes, I let him go when I was done. Maybe the fright will teach him to stay out of my garden.
Illustration Friday: Stripes – Image 1
Here’s an old photograph of mine for stripes. This was taken just before they tore down the old barbershop in my hometown. I used real black and white film and printed it myself in a darkroom. It’s pretty old and has picked up some scratches and things. So, sorry about it’s condition.
I may put up an actual drawn-for-this-prompt illustration later this week. I just wanted to give you all something in case I didn’t get around to drawing something new for you. 🙂
