Bald Eagles

I saw these two American Bald Eagles sitting a in tree, probably looking for something to eat now that the lakes have finally opened up.

May Frogs

The frogs are out now.  My step son will be so happy to see them he loves catching them or at least trying to any way.

Blue Skies and Open water

Looking forward to opening weekend of fishing?  Lets hope the ice goes out on the lake before then.  Here is a look forward (hopefully) to blue sky and open water.

Vintage Sun Set

These are the first of the vintage scans I borrowed from my dad's collection.  He likes to paint and took a lot of scenery pictures that he wanted to paint but never got around to it.  I am not sure exactly when or way they were taken but I know they were in northern Wisconsin.

On the water at night

A look back to warmer weather.  These shots of from this past summer.  I know when the sun sets the bugs tend to get worse but I enjoy the cool night air and being out on the water.

Last April

These Photos are from last April but I thought since the snow is melting that we should take a look ahead to spring, which seems to be just around the corner.

Common Loon

Everyone seems to love the loons, these shots were taken and various times during the spring and summer.  I didn't get any shots of the babies this year because apparently their weren't any on the lake that we frequent.  Hopefully next year some of the little guys will make it.

Ducks

I know that they are long gone now, but I haven't been brave enough to venture out into the below zero temps to get me pictures so here are some ducks shots from this past summer.  enjoy!

Spring Lake

These shots are from last spring - not that you could really tell a difference since the weather has been so warm in the Northwoods.  But I thought these would be a nice change from the snow that we don't have.

July Frogs 2012

These were taken in July.  The first 2 shots are bull frogs (i think) and the last 3 are Leopard Frogs.  I really like the green ones, they are fun to shoot but a little harder to find.

Snowy river 2011

These are from last year but I never got around to posting them.  It's the river by our cottage all snowy.  I haven't gotten out there yet this year.  So peaceful looking.

July Osprey Nest

This is the Osprey nest this past July.  Sorry I didn't post them sooner but I was back logging.  I think that is both adults that you see in the pictures.  I don't think you can see the babies yet.

Random Fall shots

 These are just some random shots I took this fall.

In North America, autumn is usually considered to start with the September equinox.^[4] In traditional East Asian solar term, autumn starts on or around 8 August and ends on about 7 November. In Ireland, the autumn months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are September, October and November.
