I saw this tree in a little meadow and it was the only tree that was growing inside the meadow. All of the other trees surrounded the meadow. Springbrook Nature Center, Spring Lake Park, Mn
Cascade Falls, Osceola, Wisconsin - 2013
What a difference a few minutes makes. The previous photo in the series was taken just a minute before this one and the mood is completely different when the sun is gone.

Part of Tettegouche State Park, Silver Bay, Minnesota
February 2014 was a bitterly cold winter and found that Lake Superior had mostly frozen over leading to lots of ice stacked up on the shore. This image finds sunset behind the stack ice in the Two Harbors Minnesota harbor.
I hiked to the high falls in Tettegouche State Park and found that the sun was right behind the cedar trees, so I set up my tripod and stopped the aperture down to get a sunburst and voila!
I felt that the flowers at the base of the tree brought out an "Alice in Wonderland" feel to the image
Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park June 2010
I really like the look of the butte, so I took the photo with the intention of making an HDR. And for all of you Star Trek fans out there, tell me this isn't a battle cruiser!

Here's a different angle of the flowers at the base of the tree image from above.
Yosemite Falls is an ephemeral falls in that it is a product of snow melt and rain. When the snow is all melted, the waterfall dries up and only re-appears when there is rain or the next spring when the snow melts again

While exploring the cliffs at Palisade Head, I found this splash of color and decided that it just needed it's photo taken.
Blue Mounds State Park, Luverne, Mn June 2009
I was making images of Palisade Head and Shovel Point in the fog when I spotted this girl walking along the cliff edge.
Such a wonderful place to stop and just sit looking out over the ocean
Upper Yosemite Falls from the Swinging Bridge June 2010
On a bitterly cold morning in Monticello Minnesota at Swan Park the fog was so thick you couldn't see more than a few inches. When the fog finally cleared, it left behind a winter scene that was incredible.
Somewhere between Lutsen and Grand Marais Minnesota looking for fall colors. October 2013

Very interesting clouds over Split Rock Lighthouse. Taken November 10, 2014
I liked the way this shot set up with all the lines seemingly focused on the tree

Went to Palisade Head for sunrise and it was very cloudy, but the sunlight made an appearance below the thickening clouds
I saw this formation of trees on Ellingson island and I thought it'd make an interesting image
