An example of something that I could watch and photograph for hours... floating bubbles on the Pigeon River. These bubbles were just below a very small section of rapids. As the water tumbled through the rocks these bubbles would form and float a short distance down the river before popping. Some of them had really nice "domes" to them.
This little cedar tree sure found a nice spot to grow. It receives an almost constant barrage of spray from a nearby waterfall.
It's another chilly and snowy spring day today. The Canada Geese seem a little perturbed by it as well and have decided to just wait out the weather on top of this beaver lodge.
A couple of weekends ago ago we came across these really cool little "flowers". At the time we had no idea what they were. According to a couple of sources we've determined that its most likely Beaked Hazelnut. The little buds were incredibly small, no bigger than the eraser head on a #2 pencil!
Last night sure was beautiful. Clear skies and calm winds with some really nice aurora activity! We drove out to a local lake to watch the lights and boy we sure weren't disappointed! The crescent moon hovered above the treetops to the left while the aurora danced in the sky to the right. It was pretty chilly out (25 degrees) so I took a few still photos then set up a timelapse to run for 20 minutes. While the timelapse was recording we sat in the car and listened to Neil deGrasse Tyson's "Star Talk" podcast. We were listening to an old favorite from 2017, about "The Great American Eclipse". It was a wonderful night :-)
This morning sure was beautiful along the Pigeon River! Kind of hard to believe the temp was only 35 degrees when I took this picture. It just has a much warmer "feel" to it, in my opinion. The north woods of Minnesota never ceases to amaze me with its beauty.
My first robin sighting of this year. I was taking a morning walk in the woods last week and was lucky enough to spot this fellow in a dark stand of trees. The light was really low so I had to be super steady in order to get this shot.
