North Rim Sunset - Grand Canyon

 

Still have a hard time believing this was our campsite on the north rim of the Grand Canyon!  Without a doubt one of the most amazing places I've ever spent the night. 

Milky Way over Tiny in Torrey

 

This tiny home in Torrey, Utah was our base camp for 4 days during our trip to southern Utah back in November.  Very thoughtfully planned and constructed, we absolutely loved this beautiful little home. It was very difficult to leave this place and we can't wait to go back. We were hoping this would be a nice place to enjoy the dark skies and boy was it ever!  The Milky Way looked glorious and was perfectly positioned to get a nice photo with the house. This was my first experience staying at an Airbnb and it set the bar VERY high! 

Sun Halo over Wauswaugoning Bay

 

A beautiful scene along my way to work recently.  It was a chilly morning and this sun halo looked glorious over Lake Superior and the Susie Islands. 

Pine Grosbeak Shadow

 

While driving along Old Highway 61 in Grand Portage recently I saw a few pine grosbeaks.  Most of them were flitting around in the trees and weren't really presenting themselves for any good photos. This one, however, was hopping around all over the roadway and eventually he stopped and posed right in the sunlight between two shadows.  I thanked him for giving me such a nice photo then continued on down the road. 

Snow Monster

 

An interesting find in the forest after the recent snow storms!

Busting Drifts

 

'Tis the season once again for plow truck photos!  Long-time followers of my photography know that photographing plow trucks in action is something I get rather exited about 😄

High Falls after Two Blizzards

 

After receiving almost 20 inches of snow in the past week, High Falls in Grand Portage State Park is looking quite beautiful!
