Memorial Day 2015

It's become a tradition to visit the local VA grounds during Memorial Day weekend. As many of you know, I live close to the grounds and visit them regularly, but I'm still left speechless when I'm there over Memorial Day weekend.

How are you celebrating Memorial Day this year?

back at the VA grounds

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you know that one of my favorite spots to frequent with my camera is the VA grounds. After months of nasty weather keeping me from taking regular walks in my neighborhood, it felt so good to get back there last week.

V is for (a New Take on) the VA Grounds

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

Many of you who have been following my blog for the past few years know that I live in close proximity to the VA grounds in Milwaukee and wonder through them at least once a month. After three+ years of photographing virtually every aspect of the VA grounds, it can be challenging to do something different.

However, one thing that I had wanted to do for months is take my tripod and shoot some long exposures of the fountain with the VA buildings and Miller Park in the backdrop. I'm really glad that I made a little time for this shoot while the fountain is still on for the season. I'd still love to shoot this area at dusk, but this was a great start. Enjoy.

photo share: familiar territory

I walk through the VA grounds in Milwaukee just about every week when the weather is at least halfway decent. Most of the time I don't have my camera with me. As I've photographed the area quite a few times over the past few years, I have to challenge myself to find new perspectives on the place. Last week I rose to the challenge yet again and took some pictures of the nearby Miller Park as well.

Y is for Yield

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

I'm keeping it short and simple today with photos of some of the yield signs on the VA grounds. There are a million yield signs in Milwaukee, but I thought that these grounds provided a neat backdrop. Hopefully you do, too. Enjoy.
