"Brisk" is what the weatherman said














On one of the coldest mornings of the winter season I rose early enough to get a predawn image of the Cana Island lighthouse. With a wind chill factor of -15 degrees, I call it cold.

Christmas Eve in Tennessee














On Christmas Eve, Peter & I decided to take a drive north of where we were staying in Crossville, Tn.
Peter's plans were to go for a hike.

We ended up in the Big South Fork National River Recreation Area. Unfortunately the Nature Center was closed early that day due to the holiday. Looks like a great area to travel back to in the springtime.
We did find a short trail that I was able to do with my cane and that sufficed for the day. There was evidence that snow had fallen here earlier in the day. The John Muir trail was close by and we saw that 2 days later as we were traveling to Virginia to visit my sister and her family.

Art Show at Soup's On

We will be dismantling our current show at
Soup's On at 221 No. Water Street next week.
This would be great time to see our work and
enjoy some fresh homemade soup and bread while
you are there.
Mary makes some great soups. Menu changes daily.

Stop in out of the cold and enjoy 2 treats!

In Jan. we will have a show at Pyramax Bank on
North Water St. in Milwaukee's Third Ward.
That show will open to the public & up until the end of March.
It will include some of our Milwaukee images as well
as some images that will make us think of springtime!

Never too early to think spring!

Return from our trip to Tennessee

We returned from our trip to Tennessee a couple of days ago.
Peter took many pictures. Blue Ridge Mountains, old settlements etc.
Weather was great. 40's & 50's.
Such a difference from our normal Wisconsin winter weather.
Was a nice change of pace.

I was not able to do much photography this trip as I am rehabbing
from surgery and a minor set back.
Will be putting up some of Peter's images on our
Photo Shelter website within the next few days (hopefully!).

Watch for updates.

Revamping our Website

Reworking our photography website for the new year.
Trying to incorporate Photo Shelter where we are showing most
of our current images.
A lot of work to do on this.
Very time consuming.
But it will look oh so nice when completed and be
easier to update.
