My all time favorites

Putting up a few of my favorite photographs that I have taken over the years....
Frozen eyelashes.... I took this at home on the farm last winter on a cold, foggy (and frosty) winter day.


Minnehaha Falls bridge in Minneapolis

Minnehaha Falls


The Cascade River along the North Shore.... I took this shot while doing a camping trip along the North Shore in 2007.



The Lake Superior shoreline in the fall of 2007.




This is High Falls located in Grand Portage State Park near the Canadian/ Minnesota border.





Another fall shot of the Superior shoreline taken in the fall of 2007.






This is Temperance River... I slowed the shutter speed to give the water this "misty" effect. Located in Temperance State Park, 2007.







One very cold fall evening, while camping in Jay Cooke State Park (October 2008), I set up my camera on manual BULB setting and allowed the lens to remain open for half an hour. I caught the motion of the stars that night from 8:30-9:00 PM.









This is a shot of a mountain along the Teton Range in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This was taken July of 2004. While in the valley it was a warm 80 degrees, at the top here it was around 60-65 degrees and very windy.







The Grand Tetons, July of 2004. We took a river raft ride down the Snake River (like the one shown here). Very breathtaking views of the mountain range.

A misty, foggy day in November 2005. This was taken in Mount Rainier National Park. Unfortunately, you are unable to see Mount Rainer here because of the fog, but the fall colors mixed with the towering evergreens are absolutely stunning.

I loved the look of this waterfall! There were several located along our drive in Mount Rainier National Park. I slowed my shutter speed down to get the effect of its motion that morning back in 2005. I have this shot and the previous one enlarged and hanging in my living room.

A timber wolf at the International Wolf Center in Ely, MN. I took a shot of this photogenice fellow while camping up at Bear Head State Park back in 2008.

My idea of serenity.... canoes along Bear Head Lake in the State Park.

Evergreens...my favorite! Located in Bear Head State Park, MN
