This is such a big achievement. With over 50,000 photos submitted across May, June, July, and August, standing out was no small feat. Our team reviewed so many incredible pieces, but your photograph truly captured our hearts with its emotion, storytelling, and stunning artistic vision. We’re so thrilled and honored to feature your talent in this edition.

Summer flew by this year. I didn't get out a lot to take landscapes as allergies, smokey weather and pneumonia were all in play... Loving the foggy mornings and fall colors though.

Here are some photos that I did take late spring and this summer. They were all selected for the Best of the Week galleries at Universe of Colour Photography which is always an honor.

Tapping of the Golden Keg Octoberfest 2026! Love the randomness of who you see there! Always so fun!

It never gets old to be selected on the Universe of Colour Photography Best of Week Gallery! This photo was taken in Montana and the sky was so heavy with smoke at sunset.

I have posted the link to the gallery in the comments so you can go and look at all the other selections for photos. There are many stunning photos from around the world and it is truly always an honor to be part of it.

This photo was taken this past winter in Canada. The Purcell Mountains were covered with clouds and just this one peak stood out. The scenery in Canada is always so fun to capture.

So excited to have my photography included in this book! It will include beautiful photographs and essays showcasing the Driftless area. Go to their website to learn more.

Ever feel like the best parts of the Driftless are hidden just out of reach? 🌲✨

Much of our region's most stunning terrain is tucked away on private land, far from the public trails. It’s a secret world of deep coulees and ancient springs that few ever get to see in person.

Think of our new photo book, "Driftless in Time," as your "Invisible Window." We’ve captured these rare, restricted views to bring the raw beauty of the Driftless directly to your home.

Peer through the window and help us reach our $65,000 goal!

Grab your copy here, and have your name printed in the book as our thanks:
