While staying near Rufus, Oregon, I came across this grain elevator that appears to have been abandoned and sits at the end of an unused rail line.

While spending time at Redfish Lake in Idaho, I discovered a treasure trove of old, weathered wood along the shore. Except this one, which was in the water and appeared to be coming out to haunt whatever got in its way. A little mist on the water’s surface adds a bit of mood to the image.

Have you ever had that feeling that something was stalking you? It almost seems as though this innocent piece of wood was sneaking up on me, but froze when I turned to look at it.

Although I initially captured this image in color, I knew it would end up in B&W.

Since leaving northern Minnesota in our RV and heading west, I’ve been treated to diverse and wonderful scenery. After stops in South Dakota and Wyoming, I’m currently doing an extended stay in Idaho in the Wood River Valley. For those not familiar with the area, it includes the towns of Bellvue, Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley. We had a lovely camp site along Baker Creek, now we’re staying in a driveway west of Hailey and this weekend we move to another driveway before heading to Redfish Lake near Stanley. The upside to all this travel is photo opportunities galore.

I think I’m trying to channel my inner Ansel Adams with this one.

On a recent hike in Idaho, the trail I was on had several of these large cricket like bugs on it. Not sure if they are actually crickets, but I’m glad they’re not bigger than the inch and a half this one was.

Sometimes you just have to look around and see what nature is painting on the landscape. I came across this vision as I walked along the shore of a lake in South Dakota.


Garrison Keillor always talked about the magic of Lake Superior. There’s something special about sitting by the inland sea that calms the spirit and soothes the nerves. On this day the lake was being gentle, however, there are those days when she gets agitated and tends to make a bit of a mess of the shore.

While visiting Gooseberry Falls recently, I discovered this unique vantage point where the cedar trees were framing the waterfall.
