Hi, Moose

This is Lisa's shot with her cell phone. This is probably a yearling, maybe two-year-old moose. It was wandering down the highway on the shoulder. Traffic was heavy, and I saw no sign of mama, so I nudged him off the road. Lisa swung the door open and took this shot. I honked the horn, and it slowly... Sign in to see full entry.

It's MINE!

The adult female eagle had picked off a fish and settled down to eat it when the blue heron swooped down and wanted him to share the fish. As you can see, the eagle had no intentions of doing any such thing. This was literally a face-to-face thing between two giant birds that lasted for well over... Sign in to see full entry.

Fence At Sunset

I almost walked by this shot. It was cold, and darkness was about to be upon us. I passed this shot, and something made me go back to capture it. I'm glad I did. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

The Missing Cat and A Storm With A Rainbow

The first thing I will do is fix the shot that wasn't loading yesterday. This is the infamous photo #6 Then there is this shot of a heavy storm raging on the south side of the Mighty Mac. If you look close enough, you can see the rainbow just this side of the storm. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Cougar

I startled this big cat, but it felt confident enough to stay around long enough to see what it had heard. I think I was able to rattle off about a dozen decent photos. This shot was taken roughly 80 feet away. I was lucky that I had the proper lens on the camera to get a decent up close and... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunset River

The first title that came to mind with this photo was 'River To Nowhere,' but I have probably used that title somewhere along the way. I will miss all of the beautiful sunsets we had in the UP, so it's a good thing that I have over 1200 of them in my files! Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

A Beautiful Superior Sunset

I love taking photos with reflections! This was a rare evening when this small inlet was quiet. You can see the warning light in the distance and the moon's reflection that is hung in the beautiful colors of the sky. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Superior Icy Wave

The power of waves has long fascinated me. When we first came to Florida, my son and I would 'ride the waves' of the Atlantic near Jensen Beach like a cork for hours. We would go offshore about 125 feet and enjoy incoming waves' steady rise and fall. Of course, there was that one time I had a... Sign in to see full entry.

Storm Rolling South

As I recall, we were on the northeast corner of the Mighty Mac, looking south as a massive thunderstorm was rolling toward the Lower Penninsula. For perspective, the area in the middle of the two arch structures is roughly 2.75 miles from where we were standing. At that point, it is 225 feet from... Sign in to see full entry.
