Updates

New Air Show Photos! The Cleveland National Air Show held practice rounds a few days before the show, which gave me a great opportunity to get some new photos. Check them out on the Air Show and Airplane gallery

A holiday trip to Jekyll Island Georgia produced a number of surprises. The holiday light display was better than advertised, but the nature trails produced a number of opportunities to photograph birds that are native to the area.

Winter has not produced the type of “snowy” days that lead to fantastic snow photos. It has, however, allowed for some foggy mornings and a few “fire and ice” festivals.

A quick trip to Mackinac Island this year provided a number of opportunities for photos. The trip was amazing - in many ways it is like time stands still there. Walking, biking, and horse carriage are the ways around the island. Had a great opportunity to photograph the daily firing of the cannon at Fort Mackinac.

The B-17 was in Port Clinton for flight demo and ride-alongs. I was able to get a few great photographs of the Yankee Lady. Added these to the Air Show page as well.

In addition to the Cleveland Air Show practice days photos, I have added a few shots from the practice day in 2022 when the US Navy Blue Angels were in town.

Hard to believe that it’s already Labor Day weekend - which brings the Cleveland National Air Show to town. The Thursday and Friday before are practice days and give some great opportunities to get to the lake and take photos.

A limkin made it to Northeast Ohio. Quite a rare sighting, as these birds rarely get north of Florida. They are a wetland bird that live in warmer parts of the Americas. Finding one in Ohio created quite the conversation with the ‘birders’ in the area. I was lucky enough to capture a couple of shots, including one where it seemed curious about me and my camera.

Added a portfolio of black & white photos. Often forget how interesting a photo can look in black & white

Roses were in bloom at Lakeview Park Rose Garden. These gardens were originally dedicated in 1932 containing approximately 2,500 roses.

The Irises were in bloom and Schoepfle Garden has a great variety.

More Spring photos from Seiberling Nature Realm in Akron, Ohio added to Springtime and Recent Photo pages

I’m tempted to say that Spring has finally decided to stick around for a bit. Check out the new photo page for a few shots from Schoepfle Garden

More opportunities to add sunset photos to the sunset photo page/portfolio. Slight cloud cover gives some great colors.

Sunset at Lake Erie Sunday is the newest photo added to the portfolios. Clouds cleared over the lake just in time.

Winter is apparently not over; this gave me a chance to take a few more snow photos. Newest are on the recent photo page and the winter wonderland page.

Added a separate portfolio for sunrise and sunset photos.  These are a favorite of mine so there is more than enough to fill their own section.

Sunsets on Lake Erie are a favorite of mine.  Spring must be coming now that the sun is setting out of the lake again.  Sunset photos are currently in the Recent Upload portfolio.

Winter without snow?  Sounds as if this is one of the least snowy years in NE Ohio.  I have a number of spots that I want to shoot with snow and ice and that haven’t been possible so far.  I did get to Lanterman’s Mill during one of the few snowstorms of the year.  Those photos are in the Winter Wonderland portfolio.
