House Afire ? No, the fire is approximately 93 million miles away, reflected from window to water to me. I know the image is technically terrible, but I like it anyway. #photography #PhonePhoto #PixelPushing #NoResolve #Sunset #OurLittleTown

Ancient dabbler, still hoping to rise to the rank of dilettante. Citizen of the world, seriously Anti-Trump.
Memorial ~ I know that Hiroshima Day is August 6th, but this appeared as I walked the shore just today, the 21st. Yes, I have slightly embellished the image here with digital finger-painting. Don't worry, I did not actually paint anything. #FoundImage #FoundArt #photography #WildFlowers #Hiroshima
Summer Day ~ At play with the pixels. #photography #phonephoto #pixelpushing #KewauneeWI #DigitalDizz
Thank Mother Earth and thank the gardener thank the harvester and thank the cook ~ #food #photography #thanks
Port Arend, 1959 ~ There are those "concerned citizens" around town who think Chet Haines' untidy salvage yard should be removed, citing health and safety concerns. To some of us, though, it's a museum, a parts depot, and a sort of anti-social social center. #ModelRailroad #diorama #Oscale
For Those with Hearing Problems ~ (a closed-caption ship's bell) #photography #TugBoat #KewauneeWI #LakeMichigan #GreatLakes
Street Sketch w/ Red Balloon ~ Because sometimes just having a coffee alone feels like wasting time. I must admit I added the color after I got home. #StreetSketch #InkSketch #SturgeonBay #OurLittleTown
Black & White Wednesday ~ Why are the alleyways more interesting to me than the streets? Do I just want to see the facts behind the facades? #Photography #Black&White #SturgeonBay #OurLittleTown #PhonePhoto

O, The Expense! How to: Buy for $2. at the resale a tin Chinese Christmas house, rework and glaze its 13 windows, add casings, make 2 doors, cornerboards. Paint chimney like brick, add chimney-top. Add front porch, rear stoop, & sign. Hmmm, you're still under $5. #ModelRailroad #Oscale #diorama
Port Arend, 1959 ~ Rudy's Texaco has become THE tire center around here. Rudy Jr. handles most of that work and in all but the most severe weather, prefers to be outdoors. #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Oscale #Ogauge #diorama #ScratchBuilt #1:48scale
These two make me think of a mother & wee daughter, holding hands, making their way down some busy, Victorian street. #BlueSky #architecture #photography #KewauneeWI #Victorian
Journey to Enlightenment ~ In the gallery of Tony Staroska and Rebecca Carlton. #Art #gallery #sculpture #bronze #ceramic #JuddvilleWI #photography
Bronze Bell / Vintage Vignette ~ Just playing around with my Pixel Phone. #photography #PhonePhoto #tugboat #GreatLakes
Interior with 1200 Horses ~ In the engine room of the retired tug "Ludington" at Kewaunee, Wisconsin. #Tugboats #GreatLakes #LakeMichigan #photography
Down the Way Up ~ My photo for the cover of a book, so far unwritten; a story of aging un-gracefully. #photography #PixelPhonePhoto #Aging #Shadows
Lilies of the Field? Not exactly. These particular Turk's-Cap lilies are lucky enough to have a place on the shore. #photography #lilies #GreatLakes #flowers #TurksCapLily #PhonePhoto
Workin' on the Railroad, Port Arend, 1959 ~ Arend Allied Industries came together a few years ago, bought a small engine and a bit of equipment, and took over most sidings in town from the Northwestern. Everybody's happy. (well, happier) #ModelRailroad #Oscale #ModelRailway #Ogauge #MaintenanceOfWay
Super. Human. ~ Had the rare pleasure to spend the last few evenings in the company of Jones Benally and a few generations of his amazing family. 95ish, Jones still travels, still performs. Still inspires. Listen closely. #JonesBenally #Sihasin #elder #healer #HoopDancer #HopeDancer #PhonePhoto
Tangled Up In Blue (and Yellow) ~ Honestly, I just like the colors. #photography #tugboat #GreatLakes #color
Flower Garden ~ Oh, I love this time of year when everything's in bloom, like these big Orange Boxbuds, each reaching for its place in the sun. #flowers #gardening #photography #OurLittleTown #SturgeonBay #PhonePhoto
Port Arend, 1959 ~ Clarence "Clancy" Johnson picks his way through the weeds of a mostly unused stub of track over on the North Arend side of the harbor. That old 3-axle Plymouth switcher just keeps on working. #ModelRailroad #ModelRailway #Oscale #Ogauge #diorama #PlymouthSwitchEngine
On the Edge ~ Yes, even though there was a long-ago time I worked on tugs on the Lakes and on the Gulf, and they damn near killed me; I still have some weird kinda love for 'em. #Tugboats #GreatLakes #Algoma #LakeMichigan #photography
