One of my favorite things about northern Wisconsin (where I just returned from camping) are the common loons that spend the summers there.
They’re beautiful and kind of elusive. They don’t like to get close to humans at all. But I was armed with a new telephoto lens I bought several months ago, and was determined to get some decent shots.
This turtle was posed in that position for at least ten minutes. I guess sometimes you just need to stop and stretch your legs for a while.
Hiking around Olbrich Gardens the other day I came across this beetle, smack in the middle of the sweetest part of a flower.
While walking the neighborhood the other day, I came across this robin, perched regally on the top of the railroad crossing sign.
Red-winged blackbirds have returned to the marshy shore along Lake Wingra.
