2014 started out strong with beautiful sunsets and lots of bird activity. Barbed wire reminds me of rural life and hard working farmers.
This Red-Bellied Woodpecker comes around to our feeders often but doesn't come very close when we are near with our cameras.
This miniature rose is a couple years old now. I've been cutting it down and bringing it in my bedroom when the weather gets cold. One of my favorite techniques is close-ups (macro) of my subjects, usually flowers.
The Wood Duck is easily the most beautiful and recognizable of all the ducks. To get a photograph of one is a treat for me!
The Morel Mushroom is one of the most sought after mushrooms in the area. Many people look but few people find them. I finally got a photograph of one this May with a little help from a friend!
Summer thunderstorms always get us excited! Chasing and photographing them is a fun hobby but we always keep a safe distance away as they can be very dangerous and unpredictable!
Watching this small rainstorm move in was a treat and we didn't get wet this time like we usually do!
Seeing a rainbow is usually a sign that a storm has passed and the sun is coming out. Always a treat to see!
This fall we made a trip to the north shore of Lake Superior to take in the fall colors. We spent most of our time in and around Tettegouche State Park. This is a view of Tettegouche Lake.
I waded into the Redwood River to get this shot in Camden State Park. Always a beautiful park to enjoy the fall colors with its maples and oaks.
We had some early heavy snow in November this year. In this image I caught a Bald Eagle soaring over the Redwood River bottom at sunset after some of the snow had started to melt.
This December we had a heavy ice storm in the area and some of the ice was 1/2 thick on the trees! It hung around for a few days until the temps started to rise.
