Orange Morning
This was a spectacular sunrise, with the orange seen here fading through pink and purple as the morning progressed.
Downpour
This storm has completely overwhelmed the gutters on the building. Water pours down the walls, down the stairs, and over the lamp. Fortunately no sparks were seen.
Cold Splash
Lake Superior offers many types of shoreline. This particular rock shore is on Madeline Island, and provides wonderful spray from waves breaking.
Mountain Trees
Mountain aspen grow tall and straight, pushing leaves out of the valley to the sun. This picture mixes strong vertical lines with just enough chaos to make it interesting.
Tallest Falls
This is Big Manitou Falls at Pattison State Park in Wisconsin, the tallest waterfall in the state at 165 feet high. The views of these falls are always amazing, but getting the right lighting for photography is difficult.
polite rodent
I like to think this guy is asking politely for peanuts. Fact is, he knows full well they are coming.
Columbia River View
This view was on a trail built up the outside of a vertical rock outcropping, which was worth it for the amazing view, but nerve wracking given my fear of heights. The whole landscape around the Columbia River is stunning, especially with the bright spring greens.
Mask
Fresh sidewalk paint, in rain, with the mask of a chain. I don’t know why. But it looks cool.
Plum Blossoms
This plum tree was completely covered in blossoms this spring, but this branch caught my eye because the cluster at the end of the branch was almost shaped like a pineapple.
Spring Water
Blue Hole spring in the Devil’s Backbone wilderness, MO. The water truly is blue, offset by changing leaves of early fall.
