Clinging to Existence
These Polypody Ferns are native to much of the northeastern and midwestern United States, clinging to damp exposed rock faces. They form a common sight near waterfalls in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Golden Grain
Prairie State Park in Missouri is small and out of the way and is filled with beautiful grasses.
Millpond Gate
This is an old millpond in what is now Rocky Mountains National Park. Finding old out of the way pieces of machinery like this is always exciting.
Any Nuts?
In a backpacking trip in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison a chipmunk came to make sure we’d cleaned our campsite.
New Growth
New spring leaves are always an amazing shade of green, and it makes for one of my favorite weeks out of the year, as the whole landscape rapidly changes.
Fall Glow
This is fall leaves along a hiking and bike path above the St Lewis River in Minnesota. This is a tone mapped HDR image that was taken hand held, which is why some of the edges are strangely colored, but it still conveys the amazing colors you get when hiking through forests in the fall.
