A 'Royal' Night in the UP

I managed to see the Northern Lights a lot in my time up there, but I only saw a night this color three times. I suspect it has to do with the humidity and angle of the view, but it was always a delight! Sign in to see full entry.

Button Buck

You can just see the horns on this 'young buck.' This was one I happened upon accidentally, but as I saw it quite frequently, it didn't run because I'm sure it had seen me in the forest many times. Sign in to see full entry.

The Light House at Crisp Point

When I lived in the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan), Crisp Point was my most frequently visited spot. In the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," it was this lighthouse the ship was searching for and almost made when it went down some 930 feet under the surface. Just behind this spot is a...

Rocky Falls

The further west you go along Mama Superior's coast, the more small waterfalls you find like this one, appropriately named "Rocky Falls." This is another 'taken on our honeymoon' collection. Sign in to see full entry.

Our First Sunset Together

Some of you may remember Lisa and me marrying on August 1, 2020. She doesn't like her picture taken, but I have many photos of where we were and what we did. As our first night of marriage came, this was the beautiful sight God gave us. The sun set into a calm Mama Superior. Sign in to see full entry.

A long time ago (1984) there was a song out titled, "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me!" In the woods, that's almost always the truth. Birds aside, your most frequent spy will be a fat ol' raccoon like this one. Sign in to see full entry.

Twins

The other day, I was asked about the sheer number of photos I have "in stock." I'm almost 71, but I have had my own camera since I was seven. It was a cheap Polaroid, to be sure, but I learned from it. When I was 11, I bought a Sony camera that cost $129.99, a small fortune then. I took pictures of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Superior Coast Near Munising, Michigan

A simply beautiful place to be. This shot was taken on our honeymoon in August 2020. We 'camped' nearby this area. Sign in to see full entry.

Steep!

This photo was pretty cool until I decided to 'mess with it' a few years ago. I tried to give it an effect to make it look like it was a water-colored painting, but I didn't like it. Now, I can't find the original! Sign in to see full entry.

A Big Beast

I had seen this animal many times, but nowhere near this close. It was 'not there,' and suddenly, it was 'there.' I suspect it weighed about 250 pounds, with a massive rack of horns. It had been a warm fall, and the leaves hadn't begun to turn colors yet. Sign in to see full entry.
