Northwester
Bending against a brisk October breeze but not breaking, dune grass withstands another "northwester" along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Blue Blast
Waves blast skyward upon striking the Ludington North Breakwater Lighthouse during a fall gale. I have waited patiently for the magic storm light to show up and intensify the view.

Shore Mirror
Photographers who remain distant from the edge of the shoreline when shooting in the morning or evening when the light is low in the sky miss the magic light that often appears where the water meets the beach and washes back and forth with the waves. When I saw these spectacular clouds over Lake Michigan, I hustled to the water’s edge, knowing those clouds would be reflected on the wet sand. These clouds were magnificent. Seeing them reflected, doubled their impact.
Michigan Madness - Panoramic
I spent years on Coast Guard boats watching Lake Michigan waves curl and break. Their power and beauty demanded my attention then and commanded me to photograph them.
Workshop Wonder
I was mesmerized by the clouds tonight and loved how they all seemed to be radiating out from the sun. I noticed how it looked like the sun had a giant set of wings. After realizing that, I tried for over 20 minutes to capture a wave that would look like a reflection of the clouds. The last wave I shot before the rain started pouring had the shape of wings I was looking for.
