In the Field at Courthouse Towers

There’s something magical about being in the desert at sunrise. The unobstructed view to the east gives you a tell tale glow in the minutes before the sun peeks over the horizon. Soon blades of light sweep their way over the tops of the redrock. One of my favorite places has become Courthouse Towers in [...]

2012 Faves: Delta Sunset

While there’s nothing exotic about this window shot from a Delta 737 flying high over eastern Utah, to me it represents the peace and calmness of flight. I have been fortunate to travel a lot. And while much has changed with air travel since I first boarded a commercial aircraft at age 21 (that’s right) [...]

2012 Faves: Life in the Tube

It’s fun at the end of the year to look back at photographs that had a special meaning for me personally. No ranking this year, just sharing an image a day. Carole and I had a wonderful experience at the London Olympics. We spent much time in the London Underground or Tube, which had a [...]

Power Turn on Lac Courte Oreilles

We had enjoyed a wonderful early fall evening powerboating on Lac Courte Oreilles near Hayward, Wisconsin with our grandkids. Ben was at the controls of the MasterCraft and just about sunset [...]

Soldier Hollow Sheep Dog

Soldier Hollow Sheep Dog, originally uploaded by tomkellyphoto. The first time we went to the Soldier Hollow Classic years ago we had no idea what to expect. Sure, we had seen Babe. But this was the real deal. The intelligence of the border collies is mind boggling. If you haven’t seen a sheep dog event, [...]
