Impact

Coaches can have a huge impact in the life of even the tiniest of ballplayers!

Privilege

We many times take our wonderful country (and military) for granted. Even if you have vehement disagreement with facets of our country, you should always stand in respect for the flag that gives you the right to voice your disagreements.

Tugs

Taken on a cloudy, October day off from Rice's point in the Duluth Harbor, these are the tugs "The North Carolina," the "Kentucky," and the "Arkansas."

Tiny!

A macro photo of a very, very small flower (weed actually I think) in our garden. The head was less than 1/2" in diameter

Mill Pond Pines

Just west of Iron River, WI. A beautiful small lake filled with bass and panfish (and a northern pike that I lost)

A Mad Dash

Taken in October of 2016 near the Superior side of the Blatnik Bridge; I was almost going to toss this photo but then played with it a little in LightRoom and liked the sort of abstract type of look to it...so decided to keep it.

Friday Night Lights

Nesting

I drifted pretty close to this pair of geese in my kayak, just stayed very still while trying to snap a few photos .

Is That A Bullet Hole?

The bullet hole is a decal on the window, but the eyes of the driver seemed to be examining it nonetheless.

Lean On Me!

A very, very leaning shed in the back of the old King School by Port Wing, Wisconsin. Someone mentioned on FB that this was the old outhouse for the school; this "shed" was pretty short for an outhouse, but that could very well have been as the bottom of it may have just simply rotted away over the years.

Goldeneye

At the canal during a cold February day; they appeared to be feeding on smelt

Grand Marais Fisherman Days

The Leaning Goose

Taken along the banks of the St. Louis River, I couldn't figure out if I needed to straighten the picture or if the goose was leaning.

The Turtles Four

I was surprised how close I was able to get to by just drifting quietly in my kayak

Road Runner

Hundreds (if not thousands) of geese make the Superior waterfront and elevators their home.

Swan Rescue I

While fishing on the St. Louis River with my son-in-law Jay and grandson Parker we noticed this swan that could not fly...turns out he/she had its foot tangled in some wire that was attached to a stick. We pursued the swan, eventually grabbed hold of the stick and were able to free this beautiful bird
