Protected Lands - Tahoe Outlook

A dock reaches into the clear waters of Lake Tahoe at Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park.

The park protects one of Lake Tahoe’s remaining natural areas, including nearly two miles of shoreline and forests filled with pine, fir, aspen, and cedar.

The park was renamed in honor of California legislator Ed Z’berg, who spent much of his career working to protect Lake Tahoe, preserve open spaces, and strengthen conservation laws.

Protected Lands - Channel Islands Gateway

Channel Islands National Park protects five islands and the surrounding waters off the coast of Southern California. Their isolation has created a rare ecosystem with 145 species found nowhere else, making the park’s protection especially important.

I’m excited to share that this photograph was selected for the Gallery 1516 Photography Biennial, which showcases artists from across the Midwest. Only 100 photographs were chosen from more than 900 submissions. This piece is displayed at 24 by 36 inches, allowing the smaller details to come to life.

The public opening is tomorrow night, and the exhibition will remain on display through December 20.

Protected Lands.

This month highlights places that have been set aside to protect natural landscapes, wildlife, and history.

These lands give us opportunities to explore and experience places while helping preserve them for future generations.

Established in 1901, Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge is one of the oldest and most prestigious wildlife refuges in the country. Its rugged granite mountains resisted the plow, helping preserve one of the last remaining areas of mixed grass prairie. (Source: fws.gov)

Canopy of Color

A Missouri forest displays nearly every stage of fall, from green to bright shades of yellow, orange, and red. From the forest floor, tall trunks rise into a canopy where each tree seems to change at its own pace.

Colors of Change: Fall at Grant’s Farm

Fall colors create a stunning backdrop at Grant's Farm in Missouri. The white picket fence contrasts the reds, oranges, and yellows that appear for a couple weeks in October.

This historic property is the current home of the Budweiser Clydesdales and was once home to Ulysses S. Grant before he became the 18th president of the United States.

Colors of Change: Capitol in Color

A great place to view vibrant fall colors is the Nebraska State Capitol.

Along the south side of the building, Autumn Purple ash trees frame the Capitol when viewed from Goodhue Boulevard. Over a couple of weeks, their leaves transition through shades of yellow, orange, and purple.

This photograph was recently selected for a new installation at Cedarhurst Senior Living in Lincoln, where it is displayed alongside other local images. I’m excited to share more about that project in the near future.

Fall is my favorite season. I love watching familiar landscapes transform as the leaves change and new colors appear.

September’s theme is Colors of Change, highlighting the beauty of fall across a variety of landscapes and environments.

Small Wonders - Snail’s Pace

A land snail makes its way along a walking trail at Indian Cave State Park in Nebraska.

Land snails help break down fallen leaves and other plant material, returning nutrients to the soil. They may move at a snail’s pace, but their role in keeping the forest floor healthy is bigger than it seems.

Small Wonders - Pollen Express

Caught in midair at Sunken Gardens in Lincoln, Nebraska, a honeybee carries a bundle of pollen on its back leg.

By spreading pollen as they travel from flower to flower, honeybees have an impact on the ecosystem is much larger than their tiny size.
