Luna moth on a Mott trail light. 

Used to "really" like taking the water samples to Rock Harbor on days when the fog was like this. 

Fledgling chickadee near the greenstone ridge trail. One of its parents was bringing it small caterpillars to eat.

Out in front of Mott, in my kayak and watching a moonrise. Juls took this one.

Lake Richie dragonfly faceoff. 

Sargent lake loon. 

On the triangle trail. Bub pointed this wolf out to me. Wonder if the transplanted new ones are as nonchalant towards people yet

Even the rocks like looking at the islands scenery.

Kayaking the back side of West Caribou with a  Water Strider and its shadows.

LBB at Tonkin bay.  (little brown bird)

I think this Wood Lilly was on the tower trail.

A nice day for a paddle on the big lake, One of the many perks of working on the island.

Quick mowing run to camp yesterday, so you get a Iris and what is probably a Common Whitetail dragonfly.

Hanging fog in Lorelei lane. 

Springtime on the Mott loop with skunk cabbage.

Mott loop moss.

The rock in front of my place, one with big swells and the other with me in my kayak. The storm that caused the swells was pretty far away, so all we got at the island was those rollers. Those rollers when they hit the shore still made some nice noise. Made parking or trying to tie your boat up "interesting" though.  I like sending this or a variation every now and then.

My kayak at the end of Tonkin.  A nice quiet place to sit for awhile.

From the water plant intake, the sauna beach rock. With one seagull standing guard. 

A sorta grey day at the Mott water plant.

Pileated on the Mott loop.

Many years ago, opening week, ice in the harbor, at the picnic cove and very low water. 

Boardwalk in the summer. 

Nice laker.  Just wanted a fish picture.

Big Blue's first run to the island in 2006. 

Just off the end of Moskey Basin dock and headed towards the Lake Richie trail.

Another fall pic, west of the tower where you can just see it in the distance. The tower is the little dot about in the middle of the picture.
