We visited Lakeside Park in Fond du Lac yesterday and were amazed by the scenery, wildlife, and all the activities for kids. One of the highlights was this adorable bridge. Erika snapped a very nice photo of it. The colors look great and all the details make this a very interesting shot.

The sun sets every evening but how often do you get a chance to enjoy it? During our vacation in Door County, we took advantage of our kidless freedom and arrived at Murphy County Park just in time to see this beautiful sunset. We were standing out on a long dock overlooking Green Bay of Lake Michigan. I can’t say I’ve ever witnessed a sunset this beautiful before. The picture is stunning but it was even more beautiful in person.

We just got back from a weekend vacation away from the kids. We went to Door County, WI. which is famous for their wine. One of our stops was Lautenbach’s Orchard Country Winery & Market where we tasted wines and picked cherries. Erika took some great photos of our buckets of cherries. I’m sure she’ll post more this week but I really like the one she posted already. The colors are so rich and vibrant.

Another late one! I’ve been so engrossed in The Fall of Reach this weekend so this slipped my mind. Anyway, this week I chose a very nice shot Erika took of a statue in a graveyard. It’s a strikingly beautiful scene with the sun shining through the trees. The aged and mossy statue looks so peaceful.

Last Sunday was Independence Day so we set off some fireworks at the lake. Erika captured me getting the next round of fireworks ready while a very bright firework was going off. The result is pretty stunning and it really preserves this memory well. Very nice shot Erika!
