HI Everyone, I will soon be discontinuing my newsletter via Constant Contact. With so many venues out here to reach my members I have chosen to focus my efforts on just a few. The Constant Contact subscription is expensive and I need to consolidate in this time of economic decline. I will continue to post [...]

I got to the BLM station between Kanab, UT and Page, AZ (off of hwy 89) before 8:30 AM Utah time (AZ doesn’t change time zones). There were just four of us total sitting in our cars outside of the station awaiting the doors to open. At 8:30 the doors were opened and suddenly a [...]
The first day’s goal was simply to get to the Badlands of South Dakota.. easier said than done. The trip would have been about 12 hours of driving at 812 miles but turned out to be much longer due to icy road conditions in Wisconsin all the way through past LaCrosse. Finally the last 500 [...]
Superior–Shoreline-6706 Lake Superior shoreline, Gooseberry Falls State Park, North Shore MN. The frigid chill is marked by icicles that glitter from the bottoms of the ice sculpted rock. My in camera Multiple Exposure of this scene allowed me to capture a unique look that shows simultaneously water as it came in to the shore and [...]
Good Morning, I will simply leave you with some of my recent images from Bosque del Apache, White Sands National Monument and other of New Mexico’s special places. I was in this magical place for 12 days so I have just been back a handful of days and have not had a lot of time [...]
Bond Falls Pano Bond Falls autumn colors. Bond Falls is one of my favorite waterfalls mostly because of its accessiblity. I am able to hike up and along both sides of the numerous cascades, stepping onto rocky ground within the falls itself. This is fun and presents many exciting views that are not possible at [...]

Mr. Moose in the Grand Tetons. My friend Kimberli and I were on a 14 mile hike when she spotted a moose sleeping by a pond to our left. We watched him for an hour or so as he nodded off and then awoke briefly. He suddenly stood and we watched him move about towards [...]
I have had a bit of fun (actually lots of fun) working with this image. This image shows the same owl, composited into one image, as she displays different behaviors. As I visited my snowy owl images in Adobe Lightroom I saw a flow from one thumbnail slide to the next. Though it is not [...]
Great Egret image made in a rookery in Northern Illinois. I had been photographing the Great Blue Heron rookery and spotted some white feathers quite far off. I made my way through cattails and swampy surfaces to get closer to the trees that several egrets had claimed for nesting. The sky was constantly changing and [...]
The character of the waterfalls changes with the seasons. The crevices in the rock, like its Native Ojibwe people, show expression lines, as if they were a face. This waterfall image is called Morgan Falls. It’s a GPS “trip” to get to it and the little hike in is sooo worthwhile. I crawled around and [...]

Dramatic light played on the dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. I was fortunate in so many places that I adventured to be blessed with dramatic light! Even in Great Sand Dunes I photographed a double rainbow!

Leading with Love Yes, greed is at the root of our current mess. What we’re going through is not just a recession, it’s a reset. Sure, the impact of the crisis is being felt economically, but the root cause isn’t economics, nor is it the failure of free enterprise and capitalism. The problem is the [...]

I just spent four days in the north woods of WI and MIchigan's Upper Peninsula. The trip turned out to be shorter than originally planned due to a situation that I needed to return for.However, as always I take advantage of my halfway point, Levis Mounds, near Hatfield to take a running break. Yesterday was [...]
The experiences are what create my images. Like a child being born, the nurturing of the resulting infant or image is vital.

Later that day I made my way down to Monument Valley and stayed in a little town called Bluff. Storms were moving in which gave much drama to the monuments landscape.
While Arches was a neat park I find a bit more solitude to be preferable when I am composing pictures. Getting off the beaten path heightens the atmosphere for creativity and bond with the land.All the hiking I am doing makes me a part of rather than separate from my subjects.This morning I met the [...]
I got here early afternoon and went first to Delicate Arch. I loved the 1.5 mile climb up the slick rock. It's exhilarating and a great workout!For me, Arches is full of too many people.. but I love the slick rock climbs!

Sept 1 – Bryce Canyon I most often enjoy getting into the land in order to really experience the art of making images. My 8 mile hike took me into this eye candy world where I felt sheer bliss.

August 31 – Sunday I dropped Kimberli off at the Salt Lake City Airport early in the morning. We stayed with my High School Track and CC coaches in SLC the night before. I returned back and enjoyed the morning hiking with SarAndyand catching up. It was great to see Sarah and Bill. They were [...]
August 29, Saturday Tetons Today was an exciting one. Along our 14 – 15 mile hike between Teton Mountains we were surrounded by beauty and encountered several bull moose! Kimberli spotted the first one by his huge rack as he laid in the grasses sleeping. He was acting similar to the mountain goat I photographed [...]
August 26 Yellowstone We entered Yellowstone through the North and began in Mammoth Hot Springs. The photos I made look as if there is snow behind the trees but in fact it hotter than you would care to know! We were hoping to see wolves but never heard or saw a single one. We camped [...]

After camping last night at St Mary's where we thought the wind was going to blow our tent away, we woke up and got on the road to hike at Many Glacier. We took the Swiftcurrent Trail, which was very much bear country. We were not disappointed when some hikers coming towards us told us [...]
After a blissful night of sleep under a big cedar tree we drove along "Going to the Sun" Road to get to the trail head at Hidden Lake. The view was spectacular as it winded and zigged along the mountain side. Our first gift of the day was a mountain goat mama with her baby [...]

Badlands We drove about 10 hours out of Minneapolis and across Minnesota which became really flat, really fast! And we drove and we sang at the top of our lungs, laughed a lot, chatted up a storm as well! We stopped long enough to take a few snap shots, as posted, along the long drive. [...]

The Trails app for the iPhone is amazing! It allows me to enjoy my runs while it takes care of the details, tracking my distance, speed, and visually plotting my route as I go. It gives me many waypoints so it’s accuracy is wonderful. I do wish that it would save any pictures taken along [...]
Yesterday morning when I woke up for my more and more “normal” 3:30 am loopy loop mind chatter .. I decided to get up and write before trying to get back to sleep (which usually takes me a few hours). I too go off on this crazy notion of all the perceived problems and worry [...]

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (Harold Whitman)
[book id='' /]One of the ways I experience nature is by immersing myself into her with physical exertion, especially running. You see, as passionate as I am about photography, it is my love for Nature that is my true passion. Photography is my way of expressing that passion:)
