Bond Falls

This was the treasure Dana discovered on the way to Lake of the Clouds. Great flow in the spring and breathtaking colors in the fall.

Lake of the Clouds

You can be the judge if this picture was worth it. After a wonderful day trip through U.P. Michigan,I arrived at the most photographed place in the U.P. at sunset. Yes Scott, I was in the right place at the right time. The Lake of the Clouds, viewed at sunset,in the fall. The problem was,I was two hours from my base at Iron Mountain. It was rut, and it was dark. I dodged 22 deer and 2 bears with great success. The 23 deer did the Cha-cha on my trunk and fertilized my hood,translated to $546.00 to hammer out the dents,and$5.00 for a carwash. A deer's sex drive is nothing to tamper with. four years later this is a wonderful memory of a delightful day with my sister. The Radiation Center and Mark are some of my most delightful memories, and Uppers are some of the most delightful people on the planet. my only regret is I haven't had the opportunity to return.

Yosemite National Park




If you risk your life, by taking the northern road to Yosemite, then you hope for fabulous pictures. It is such an icon, that few new pictures appear. i am still happy with these three. Two of them show views only seen threw a telephoto, and one is a delightful bit of graffiti. It is a place that overwhelmed Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir, and I can not hope to describe what only pictures can tell.



Blind Puffin.

This little fellow was rescued at Seward, Alaska, in The Alaska Aquatic Center. What I thought was a beautiful red eyed bird was actually a very wonderful blinded Puffin. Instead of being seal bait; he lives a very calm life in the Aquatic Center. This picture speaks wonders of the need to value life. I am no bleeding heart, but I do fight the great demon cancer on a daily basis. I think this Puffin represents the least of these, very well. He is a great symbol for the beauty of compassion
