Posted on June 29, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

After I put up my Saturday photo of Lake Michigan, my friend Jo, who lives on the lakefront downtown, told me that ship in the picture had been anchored there all week. Apparently the ship has been the topic of much conversation the past several … Continue reading →

Lake Michigan, on a blustery end-of-May day

Posted on May 30, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

I had lunch today with my writing group at one member’s residence on Prospect Avenue overlooking Lake Michigan. In January I took a photo from the bluff, braving bitterly cold wind without gloves for the few seconds it took to snap … Continue reading →

This is the kind of thing my grandparents used to do: refer to places by their names from 50 years earlier.  Now I do it, too.  No doubt someday my kids will, too. The building below is the Marshall & … Continue reading →

Urban Sunset, March

Posted on March 17, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Taken with my iPhone  as I returned to my office last night after teaching an early evening class.  (Despite the fact that downtown Milwaukee is built on a swamp and thus wages a constant battle against sinking, this building isn’t really tilted!  It’s just … Continue reading →

Reflections on “Man at Work”

Posted on March 12, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

These  giant (9-foot) statues line the Grohmann Museum’s rooftop sculpture garden. As I was walking into my building this morning, I saw this reflection in the windows of the office building across the street.  When I saw the statues’ silhouettes in … Continue reading →

Deco on Rye

Posted on January 29, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff
