09: The Beginning

10: The Countdown!

It’s going to be a busy week ahead as I prepare to travel to photograph the “Great American Eclipse” of 2024. Although I will be camping in Illinois, I will be viewing the eclipse in Vincennes, IN. I also will have the joy of sharing the event with my two grandchildren. Because of all that needs to be done, I have set my blog to be a countdown to the eclipse using images from the 2017 event in Oregon. See you on the other side of the dark side.

One of my test shots for 2024.

Early Pussy Willows

It’s early to be spotting pussy willows, but it’s been that kind of year weather-wise.

Walk…

…and so I did.

The River As Artist

This gallery contains 3 photos.

Flowing water often creates patterns using foam and I love capturing the results. St. Louis River in Jay Cooke State Park.

Seeks Attention

Trying not to get lost amid the gray rock and dark water, this rock wishes to stand out as a spot of color. I doubt this happened naturally and was placed there by a passing human.

Along The Edge of the River

Interesting shapes in the melting ice along the St. Louis River in Jay Cooke State Park.

Taking A Break!

Time to sit and think about the next adventure. Where will I be next?

A beautiful morning, a beautiful lake and good coffee, what a great place to relax.

Split Rock Lighthouse

Enjoying an unusually warm March morning at Split Rock State Park.

Crystal Frames

Another example of water, rocks and ice crystals coming together to create beauty in nature. Oh, and part of a log also.
