I like that I caught the water crashing, and that you can see the ridges of ice on the rocks. This is from winter of 2013, when Lake Superior was not frozen completely over, so you could photograph nice contrasts of moving water and ice.
Ice Bubbles
This year there was so much ice on Lake Superior that water didn’t get close enough to shore to make beautiful ice bubbles on the rocks. This picture is from 2013–the lake was mostly open, and the waves piled up ice on the rocks.
Cross River
Both of these pictures were taken in the same place, but perhaps a year or so apart, at Lamb’s Resort on Lake Superior. This is the Cross River, flowing into Lake Superior. I can’t tell if I prefer the cloudy or sunny shot.
Rocks
I like to take pictures of Lake Superior rocks–under water, along the water, piled up…they never get old to me.
Fall Storm
The dark sky behind the trees signaled a thunderstorm rolling in; we made it most of the way back to the car before it started pouring.
Winter Sunset
This is a picture of the Bluefin Bay resort, one of our favorite places to stay near Lutsen, MN. This shot was taken while walking along the path to the outdoor hot tub!
A Few More Sunflowers
And yet more sunflowers from northern MN.
More Sunflowers
I just can’t get over how beautiful and odd a whole field of sunflowers was, and how fun to photograph. I’ve seen some while driving through South Dakota, too–so wonderful!
Lake of the Woods
Lake of the Woods is an impressive sight, just water, stretching off into the distance. It feels like you’re at the top of the world (and technically, the top of Minnesota!)
Prairie in Black and White
I don’t often play with black and white much, and I should do more of it; I like how it makes this prairie scene more serious, and really makes the clouds pop. This is also from far northern Minnesota, at one of the state parks near Roseau.
