‘Silent Sentinel’

I got back to camp just before dinner time and decided to take a stroll across the meadow down to the river. When I came out of the trees and looked to the right there was this handsome bison grazing in the sun-drenched meadow, its silhouette framed against a beautiful horizon.

‘Layer Cake’

While exploring the Scenic Loop Drive you come across several locations where you can explore the rugged and colorful landscape. Multi-layered sedimentary rock formations are everywhere. I could spend a lifetime exploring and photographing these badlands.

‘Painted Canyon’

I was totally surprised and didn't expect the massive scale and beauty of the Painted Canyon in western North Dakota. Heading west along Interstate 94 the prairie grasslands abruptly drops off, and the terrain changes into this vibrant canyon.

‘Sunrise on the Little Missouri’

It was my first morning in Cottonwood Camp in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The camp is located, in a lovely cottonwood grove, near the banks of the Little Missouri River. I got out before the sun came up and set up to photograph the early morning light. What a beautiful, calm morning it was. The collage of colors in the valley were exuberant. I even had a visitor who came across the river and passed within a 100 yards of me in the meadow.

‘Powder Blue’

Not sure if these Blue-winged Teal were passing through the area on their southern migration, or if they had been nesting at Sweet Briar Lake. I only saw them one warm, calm evening, when I took my kayak out on the lake and paddled into a shallow cove.

‘Pelicans & Cormorants’

While traveling across North Dakota I found a great campsite at Sweetbriar Recreation Area. Right from the shoreline, of Sweet Briar Lake where I was camped, I was able to photograph these American White Pelicans and Double-crested Cormorants.

‘Graceful Silhouette’

It was a rainy day the day I stopped for lunch at Silver Lake in Virginia, Minnesota. Trumpeter Swans were gathered a few feet from the shoreline where I was parked, so I decided to get the camera out and take a few snap shots.

‘Misty Morning’

I camped for a week in the Chippewa National Forest, near Six Mile Lake. It rained and was pretty windy most of the time, however on this particular morning the rain and wind had stopped and there was a thick fog over the lake. I took my camera down to the boat ramp and took a few photos before the fog lifted.

‘Hikers Beware!’

I was camping in the Superior National Forest, close to the Pelican River. I decided to grab my camera and go exploring on the Arrowhead State Trail near my camp. I had been hiking for about a half hour and had not seen any wildlife. I stopped to get a drink of water when I heard a noise to my right. I turned to see what it was and ten feet in front of me, peeking around the tree, was the legendary, ferocious, territorial red squirrel. It barked at me, to let me know that I was trespassing in its area. Shortly thereafter it moved to the side of the tree to show me its massive size, and expose its sharp claws, all the while staring at me with this intensive look in its eyes. I knew it meant business and was not to be toyed with. I quickly snapped some photos and high tailed it out of there, barely escaping with my life!

‘Sea Caves’

I had the opportunity to kayak to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Sea Caves. Centuries of wave erosion, winter time freezing and thawing have created these stunning, colorful cliffs and caves along the Lake Superior shoreline.
