A late in the season water plant sunrise.

From many years ago, Greenstone ridge color.

A late fall walk back from the tower. It's a light pack, more bulk than weight. Sure do miss those walks. 

Stump in a pond. This is on the trail from Three mile to Mt. Franklin.

The island is closed for this year. Closing crew came back to Houghton the other day. So, here is the Ojibway tower all buttoned up for winter. 

Coming over the greenstone ridge and headed south.

On the trail from the greenstone ridge and three mile, this squirrel was taking nap.

Butterfly on a branch.

Many Septembers ago, Sandhill cranes coming over the greenstone ridge and  heading south.

On the outside of Mott and the sun is setting over the Caribou islands.

Late September, on the Mott loop and some of the last of the thimbleberries.

Mott island baby bunny, attempting to hide.

Siskiwit Lake snail.

Ravens playing over the greenstone ridge. I know it's a repeat, but I like it.

Early one Fall, at the tower, watching two moose in Lake Ojibway.

Quite a few years ago and during the middle of summer, a Lake Richie northern.

On the tower trail, here is a snake in a tree.

The Caribou arch.

Watching three large pork loins an a steamship round of beef go round and round for Christmoose. Every now and then a clove of roasted garlic would pop out and I had to taste, just to make sure things were cooking properly.

Skunk cabbage with its summer leaves. The leaves get larger too. Oh, and it's "Rodger That" day today. 

Many years ago, on a nice warm day, in minutes, it went from sunny to "who opened up a fire hose".

I used to take about 5 minutes to get on the water, now it is a little more complicated.

When you are walking the trails and start to get a little tired. You, stop and take pictures of about anything. So, here is a dragon fly on the Moskey to Richie trail.
