A Beautiful Evening

It doesn't get any better than this.

Swamp Iris

A beautiful wild Iris that I found in a small swamp in a 1,500 acre woodland. I like the fact that this beautiful little flower is wild and that it's growing on the edge of a swamp.

Snapping Turtle

Like Water Off A Duck's Back

In this case it's actually water beading up on a loon's back and head. This loon allowed me to get relatively close to capture his photo.

Common Loon

A pair of Common Loons has constructed a nest on a small island on our lake. Loon nests are located just off the water as loons are extremely inefficient walkers. Loons generally lay one to two eggs.

Eagle

There is a nesting pair of eagles on an island about 300 yards out in front of our house. Here's a shot of the male/female resting near the nest. The mate was on the nest at the time of this photo.

A Tree With Character

This morning, while on a walk in the woods, I noticed a broken old tree that spoke to me and exhibits a lot of character. I thought you might enjoy seeing it.
