I like the bokeh effects that can happen when shooting through vegetation, like with this Great Egret.

Watching Cedar Waxwings gorge themselves on juniper berries became one of my favorite moments of fall.

I love northern Minnesota sunrises! Here are a few recent shots. It was worth the hike in to this spot and waking up a 4am to get there.

We were just south of a storm that developed at sunset tonight, and this was the result.
