the Grant Park beach in the summer

If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that one of my favorite places in Milwaukee is Grant Park. It looks great in every season, and summer is no exception. On this particular trip, I was planning to stick to the trails in the forest, but they're under construction (repaving work) this summer so I ended up on the beach. Not too much of a sacrifice.

Have you been frequenting any favorite places in your area this summer?

Grant Park in the fog

It's not uncommon to get fog in Milwaukee, especially close to the lake. But it's rare that it sticks around for more than a couple hours in the morning. I actually only have one other set of fog photos, which I took last summer. Today I'm sharing a new perspective of the frequently featured Grant Park from a particularly foggy day last week. Spring in Milwaukee at its best. Enjoy.

I know that it looks like I blew out the falls when I took this picture, but that's how they look right now. The water level is high and the current is really moving.

A few fisherman at the end of the pier.

On my way out of the park, I had to get a few shots of the trees in the fog. The scene is naturally almost black and white. I did very little editing to these two tree shots.

Do you get a lot of fog in your area?

early March in Milwaukee

This past week brought above freezing temperatures. It may look like winter in this pictures, but it feels much more like spring. Over the weekend I took Jake and a friend to one of my favorite places in Milwaukee to enjoy this refreshing change in the weather and of course take some pictures.

How's early March going your way?

Four Seasons of Grant Park

One of my ongoing, unofficial goals since moving to Milwaukee has been to photograph favorite places during all four seasons. It's been slow going, but I finally checked another one off my list this fall. Enjoy.

Past four seasons projects:

Greenfield Park

Klode Park

Milwaukee County Zoo

photo feature: walking on the ice

I've been out walking on the ice that forms on Lake Michigan in the winter twice this winter. I actually shared the second excursion on Thursday with my Lake Michigan post. I'm sharing the first one today, which was back in December. Enjoy.
