Lakeshore abstracts

June 14, 2025Abstract, Geology, LakesJonathan

Clear water washing over a shallow, red sandstone shore. Shadows and light from ripples in the water can be seen, along with long smooth ridges in the sandstone.

One day I was watching the waves wash over the shore on Lake Superior. I was fascinated by the distorted sunlight in that crystal clear water and those patterns in the sandstone, etched by the lake’s waves.

Along the shore at Pictured Rocks

June 10, 2025Geology, Lakes, LandscapeJonathan

Pine trees on a bluff reflected in an inlet of a lake. Sand curves around the edge of the inlet on the side of the photo.

While I was in Upper Michigan, I spent a day at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Such a beautiful place (even with some hazy Canadian smoke in the air).

Beautifully dreary

June 8, 2025Fog & Mist, Lakes, LandscapeJonathan

Mostly evergreen trees line the rocky shore of a lake. Fog on the lake is obscuring the trees in the distance.

A cool and misty day at Presque Isle Park in Upper Michigan.

Hello again, Lake Superior

June 6, 2025Lakes, SkyJonathan

The sun sets in an orange sky behind a group of trees along the shore of a lake. Large jagged rocks are along the lakeshore in the foreground.

I’ve been doing some exploring in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula this week.

Wild geranium

June 4, 2025FlowersJonathan

A purple wild geranium blossom at the top of a plant with an ant crawling on it.  There are five other buds on the lower part of the plant that haven't bloomed yet.

The seasonal blooms continue. Can you spot the ant photobomber?

Red tail on the roof

June 2, 2025BirdsJonathan

Red tailed hawk, perched on the edge of a metal roof. Its mouth is open making a call.

Red tailed hawk, probably looking for a meal, and getting annoyed with my presence.

Just in time

May 31, 2025Lakes, SkyJonathan

Orange and grey clouds over a lake. A pier leads out into the lake from the foreground.

I biked into Burrows Park right before the thick cloud cover moved in, and caught the best of last night’s sunset.

Common yellowthroat

May 28, 2025BirdsJonathan

A small yellow bird with a black 'mask' and a white streak on top of his head. It's perched on a tall, thin branch on the edge of a grassy marsh.

I’m not much of a birder, so it makes me happy when I’m able to capture a warbler — they move around so fast! This is a male common yellowthroat.

Infatuated with clouds

May 25, 2025SkyJonathan

Blue sky with many puffy, cumulus clouds over a prairie. Two trees are seen in the middle pf the prairie at the bottom of the photo.

We’ve had some idyllically pretty skies over Madison the past few days, thanks to those cumulus clouds.
