Recently I was accepted into the Madison Art Guild which is an honor and pleased me tremendously. I will have one of my photos in their 90th Annual Salon. The 2009 Salon will be held at the University Wisconsin Hospital Sky Lounge Gallery June 6 -- August 1. This is an exceptional show with over 100 artist's work on display. Plan to visit.

You also can view some of my work in two area galleries: The Bradley Art Gallery, 183 W. Main, Stoughton. WI and The Red Door Gallery, 131 W. Court St., Richland Center, WI.

During the month of June I will be in Oregon capturing some landscape scenes along the Oregon Coast. While there Mary and I will attend the graduation of our son Tony at Oregon State University. Tony will receive his Master of Science degree in Environmental Studies and will begin work on July 1 with the Santa Catalina Island Nature Conservancy.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH
While in Oregon last week celebrating our son's graduation from Oregon State University (MS in Environmental Studies) we took the opportunity to drive up to Mary's Peak which is the highest point in the coastal range.  The forest was shroud in fog!  Some might find that a disappointment.  Granted, what we saw was not what we would have seen on a crystal clear day.  Yet, a forest in fog is just as beautiful as one in sunshine.  The colors are softer, but more intense.  And the light filtering through the fog creates a scene that is surreal. What do you think?
