Sports and animals and flowers and people outdoors -- spring has unquestionably arrived. A new lens along with the beauty of spring has helped inspire me to shoot more than I have for several months.

Standing at Attention

Standing at Attention
April 26, 2006
In America, even the mascots take a moment to stand at attention for the national anthem. Bucky worked his (?) magic later as the Badgers beat the University of Illinois-Chicago 11-0 in womens softball.

Go Badgers!

Go Badgers!

Even in April, Wisconsinites get excited about Badgers football. In the 2006 Spring Game, it was the Badgers vs. the Badgers. The starters edged the backup players on a beautiful spring day.

Well past their 'best before' date, these stubborn sunflowers refuse to fall over. Even with their wilting, they still stand much taller than your average Joe.

A narrow band of late afternoon light shines onto the isthmus, illuminating the northern edge of the UW Campus, parts of downtown and of course the capitol dome.

Willy Street Signs

Willy Street Signs

Willy (Williamson) Street sure has a lot of signs, poles and wires. Is that why it is so popular? Doesn't really seem to fit with the loose, free and liberal aura that the area has.

Swaying Daffodils

Spring's first big, bright flowers are here - an early morning breeze blows these swaying daffodils around.
