Season’s Greetings!


Great time at the Welty Nature Rendezvous today! Lower turnout than the Welty staff had hoped, but it’s hard to predict these things in summer. The thunderstorms held off, which was good – bad weather might make great photos, but it can make for a lousy walk-and-talk! Not a lot of people on the walk-and-talks,…
Here is the first handful of photos from my trip to Alaska in June 2011. I’m at a loss for words to describe the expansive grandeur of the Alaskan landscape.

If you attend Holidazzle, please feel free to stop in…
I finally got away to the northwoods of Wisconsin, the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and even the North Shore of Minnesota for a few days this fall! I was really hoping to catch peak color this year, but as I was driving up there was a big wind- and thunder-storm that blew down a lot of…
Jack,
I hope you had a great holiday and I sincerely wish you a prosperous 2012!
Hi, Derrald! It was a great Christmas, and I’m looking forward to 2012! I hope you’re having a great holiday season, too, and here’s to a prosperous 2012 for us all!
