Deep Lake Bridge

North Oaks, Mn.

Tough hike after a very heavy snowfall of 15+ inches. This was my reward.

Winter Creek

North Oaks, Mn.

Almost monochromatic interplay of form and perspective. One of my favorites!

Hiding Out

Scuba diving in Aruba.

A purple sea fan but look close at the bottom left. One arm of a spiny starfish showing!

Under Ice

Cold, late fall morning at Pleasant lake.

Leaves and pebbles just under the thin shoreline ice, magical!

Easter Day

Taken at church

Yes, I always have my camera.

Halloween Hosta

Dead Hosta in my backyard.

These lifeless hostas were brought back to life with a little help from photoshop!

Wildflowers

A neighbor's yard!

My neighbors tried but were never able to recreate this beautiful display of wildflowers.

Morning Dance

Gulf of Mexico

The dance of the birds, the waves, and the morning rays of sun.

Looking East

Early morning in the Gulf of Mexico.

A zen like feeling overcame me when I saw this.

Deep Green

Scuba diving in Grand Cayman.

This was some coral on a deep dive to 110 ft. The green glob at the bottom is an algae that eats the coral.

Hide And Seek

Scuba diving in Grand Cayman

Found this guy being quite still during a night dive. Don't know how I saw him as he was very well camaflouged.

Last Light

Taken on a midwinter hike.

No idea what type of flower or weed this is but it was just lying there creating these shadows against the snow!

Jade Lake

Taken at Chateau Montelena, Napa Valley, Ca.

We reserved a spot for lunch next to Jade lake on the Chateau's property. The flowers and weeds had wilted and died and fallen into the lake's edge. Form, texture, color. Yea!

Beach Leaves

Fallen leaves lying on a beach in Mn.

No manipulation, just as I found them.

Mayan Green

Taken in Mexico

This beautiful parrot reminded me of a local Mayan headdress!

Pleasant Bridge

Taken on a trail in North Oaks

A beautiful December morning gave me this.

Purple Lilies

Taken near a sunken cave in Mexico

The interplay of the Lilies with each other and their background struck my eye.

High Tide

Taken on a beach in Destin, Florida

The shell was bought, the waves were free!

Sunny Day

Taken in a sunflower field in Wisconsin

I enjoy manipulating some of my photographs to add an artistic touch to them. In this photo of a sunflower, I used Photoshop to give it a soft watercolor effect.

Icy Blue

Glacier National Park, Alaska

Taken while cruising in Glacier National Park. A brilliant array of blues in the sky and the water!

Reflections

Taken from a pontoon boat on a sunny day in October.

This reflection picture was the result of great fall colors and a perfect sun. I love to try and make my photos look like paintings!

Morning Nap

On a lake in Minnesota

There were hundreds of geese on this lake all fluttering and moving about but this guy was napping trough it all!

I Spy

Near a lake in Mn.

This eagle and I spotted each other about 100 yards away. He stayed perfectly still and watched me closely as I approached.
