Just had my first paddle on Lake Superior of 2025. Here is the experienced sunset. This was on her south shore adjacent to Ottawa National Forest, UP MI, USA.

I have been trying to capture this beauty all summer-- at least today is good enough for confirmation. Osprey #Osprey #OttawaNationalForest #UpNorth #UP #birdphotos #naturephotography #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #nature #Wisconsin #bird #birds #birdphotography #ornithology #raptors
Another day, another photo of a broad winged hawk dangling a garter snake from its mouth in flight...

Taps Lake Trail in the Ottawa National Forest. We have our own Lakes District, but there is no Wordsworth-- just moose, ducks, things like that... #hiking #hikingtrails #OttawaNationalForest #naturephotography #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #nature #photos #photography #Michigan #wild
Tried my best, but #woodducks are always skittish. Sorta got the male, but the female and a broad-winged hawk eluded my focus #OttawaNationalForest #naturephotography #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #nature #spring #photos #photography #Michigan #wild #bird #birds #birdphotography
I am still smiling ear to ear-- pulled up to #ThrushLake in #OttawaNationalForest and... a MOOSE was swimming across the #lake! I think I was in #shock . #fur #moose #wildmoose #naturephotography #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #nature #spring #photos #photography #Michigan #wild #love

If you want warblers, #OttawaNationalForest is the place to be. Chestnut-sided warbler. #ChestnutSidedWarbler was only one of many great warblers today #naturephotography #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #nature #spring #photos #birds #birdphotos #birdphotography #Michigan #ornithology
I was not expecting to see a hummingbird today, let alone get a decent photo. #troutfishing #SlateRiver #OttawaNationalForest #hummingbird #naturephotography #art #artist #artists #photo #photography #nature #spring #photos #birds #birdphotos #birdphotography #Michigan #ornithology
