Unplanting
A dead tree is removed by helicopter from Chatfield reservoir. Recent increases in water level killed large swaths of timber by the reservoir, and heli-logging has been the chosen method to remove them.
Trapped in Ice
A single air bubble frozen in the ice of a beaver pond.
Caves and Kayak
Lake Superior has many colors, from the browns of the mud bluffs to the ice clear and ice cold waters of the north shore rocks. Here it is green, and so is the Meyer’s Beach sea cave it is illuminating.
Cold Coffee
An empty coffee cup matches the bear berries and the snow.
Unlimited Power
A large storm is set off by high voltage lines.
On Patrol
A coyote runs past, on the hunt for rabbits. It worked its way downwind and spent the next 20 minutes hunting back and forth once it knew where the humans were.
Flying Ibis
These Ibis, along with a number of other species of birds were everywhere in Brazos Bend State Park, taking advantage of high water for easy hunting.
crosshatch
Blowing snow crosses the lines of cracks in the ice in Echo Lake.
Ripe
Gooseberries ripen early at the tree line. As do other fruits; we found full patches of raspberries later.
