Short Eared Owl in the Snow

I took this late in the fall. I found it crazy how many owls I found sitting out in the open like this guy. It wasn't unusual to see the giant Snowy Owls in plain sight. They use the northern areas like the UP and north for their breeding areas. Here is some good information on the bird. Check it... Sign in to see full entry.

Mad Moose

I think I posted this photo a year ago, but it went down with it when we took down the old server. We met this big boy crossing M-28, the main east-west thoroughfare for most of the UP. It was mating season, and he was not happy that we slowed down. He stood behind us, pawing at the ground and... Sign in to see full entry.

Evening Sunset

This was a lake not far from our place in Newberry. The UP was not a place for the average person, but it had many magnificent views for those brave enough to be there. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

A Snow Scene

I can't remember where we were going, but it was snowing and slippery! As we went by this old farm, Lisa pointed to it and remarked how beautiful the scene was, so I stopped and took this shot with my cell. Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

Twin Birds, Twin Landing

I had seen these two eagles in the area for several years. Where you saw one, you usually saw the other. I believed them to be sibling brothers, but I had no 'proof' of that. This particular day, I caught them coming to land on the same branch, at the same time, but from different sides. It was... Sign in to see full entry.

East Island Lighthouse - Munising Michigan

Since we haven't had time to go exploring yet, I'll be posting photos of the UP for a while yet. That's alright though, I seem to have tens of thousands of them taken over the course of six years while I was there. This article from Wikipedia has a lot of the history of the lighthouse that is...

A Frozen Falls

If you remember me telling you how frigid it was in the UP in early December, that was then that we got this photo of the Munising Falls in Munising, Michigan. The water had slowed to a very slow flow, allowing it to begin to freeze. A local photographer (and there are a LOT of them) told me that it... Sign in to see full entry.

What Flower Is This?

I can not remember the name of this flower for the life of me. Its leaves are shiny, bright green waxy things that are heart-shaped. Either way, I thought it was beautiful! If you know the name, please let me know! Thanks! V Check it out! Sign in to see full entry.

The last of my editing story. I'm Just A Rabbit & It's A Habit As a junior high student, when the teacher gave us an assignment that had to be at least a thousand words or more, most of the class would groan in agony. I had been writing goofy kid's stories on a steady basis from the time I was... Sign in to see full entry.
