A new lake and a new find!
A Two-heron Day
Back out on a favorite river with some fantastic wildlife.
One big baby
A kayaking scouting trip turns into an unexpected amazing experience.
A Lone Loon
Horn Lake surprise along with the usual beauties. It might be small, but this lake is a treat to paddle.
Odonata Obsession
Always popular with me, recently have gotten a little carried away with these ferocious fliers.
Kayak photography – the ups and downs
What I've learned after more than 10 years of photography from a kayak, plus a joyful wildlife encounter.
Yakkity Yak
Hangin' out with turtles and birds, but an unexpected bout of ick made me scoot a little early.
Back where I belong
Things are looking up again on the Spirit river. Plus is that two body thing working out?
Allequash Lake
A dignified heron and a bunch of silly ducks - all part of the beauty of this undeveloped lake.
Pictures of Pitchers
If you hit the timing right these gorgeous, but very strange flowers come into view.
Rarity Redux
Given their relative rarity and tendency not to roam, could this be the same rare beauty as last year?

A Rarity Revealed

A Drift
A few close-encounters on the Wisconsin river.
2020 Fall Cypress Tour – The last sunrise
The last shoot of a memorable trip. Did we get clouds? Color? Both?

The penultimate day on the water. Conditions were cooperative and no one got run over.
2020 Fall Cypress Tour – Days 4 & 5
Days 3 and 4 of my cypress tour. Froze my fingers to the bone, but damn, it was worth it. Fog always is.
2020 Fall Cypress Tour – Days 2 & 3
Two more days exploring cypress landscapes. A few successes and an epic fail.
2020 Fall Cypress Tour – Day 1
My first photo workshop - 7 days in a kayak exploring cypress habitat in Louisiana & Texas.
Fall Kayaking – The Flambeau River
Probably the best fall river paddle of the three - perfect weather and peak color!
Fall Kayaking – The Spirit River
Another fall day, another beautiful river.
Fall Kayaking – The Somo River
My second trip up the Somo...mostly wonderful, but a little sad, too.
My Spirit Soars
I was really 'on' while I explored new side channels on the Spirit River.
