Mountain Ash Berries


















I've been seeing a lot of Mountain Ash berries this winter, but until now none of them have caught my eye enough to pull over and take a picture of them.  When I saw this bunch I couldn't resist.  There were so many clumps and the berries were still in pretty good shape.  And they all had nice little caps of snow sitting on them!

Lone Tree


















An interesting tree and its shadow that caught my eye while on my way to work the other day.

Winter at Trail Center


















A typical winter day at Trail Center along the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. The snowmobiles outnumber the cars and trucks. If you've been up the Gunflint but never stopped at Trail Center, check it out sometime.  Great food and great people!  I can't resist their maple milkshake :-) 

Winter Fish Camp


















An intriguing scene, one that I could not resist taking a picture of, while hiking the Caribou Rock Trail along the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota.  The snowmobile tracks sure made for an interesting photo.

Wispy Winter Sky


















This was a cool sight to see as I drove along County Road 60 near Grand Marais, MN the other day.  These clouds which looked like waves definitely begged for a stop to take their picture.

Fresh Snow Morning


















The drive to work yesterday was extra special thanks to roughly 4 inches of fresh, wet snow that coated everything in a beautiful blanket of white!



















Winter Fog on the Gunflint Trail


















A rare but beautiful thing when it occurs, fog obscures the view of a fire-scarred hillside near the end of the Gunflint Trail in late January in Cook County, Minnesota.
