I’m looking forward to all the unique photo opportunities that winter brings over the next months, but I am also already looking forward to the amazing variety of colors that every spring brings, like this pulmonaria, with flowers that vary from bright pink to almost blue.
This photo is a bit unusual for me, because I edited it going for the sort of look you get in an old photo that has been left out in the sun too long.
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.
This photo is from this summer during the evening visibility of comet NEOWISE. The comet is a long period comet that had not been previously recorded, and provided a surprisingly good show for several weeks.
This is a photo of the Smith Rapids Covered Bridge, which was built in 1991 using a 1920s truss pattern. It sits in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest across the South Fork of the Flambeau River.
This is one of my favorite spring landscape photos, as it captures so much of the bright spring greens, as well as having a fun sky.
Spring always brings new flowers, in this case an unusually dark purple Hepatica with a bright yellow wasp to complement it’s color.
These calves were curious how the bright colored objects that appeared on the fence tasted. They finally gave up after a lot of squeeky licking.

This image was supposed to be for modeling reference, but caught my eye while looking through my photo library.
This is a photo from Cape Horn on the north side of the Columbia River gorge, which affords a great view up the river to the east. There is a rail line that runs along the river below.
