Morning walk around Pike Island just below #fortsnelling in #stpaul. It’s about a 3.5 mile loop—-experimented with slower shutter speeds while introducing movement with zoomining in-and-out or just shaking the camera a bit. #pikeisland #minnesotatrails #naturetrail #naturephotography
Watching the little leaf who wouldn’t fall. Ridin with the wind! #chaostheory #leafdance #turbulence #leaf #Autumn #physics #wind #pikeisland #naturevideo

Through broken timber,
the sun finds a way to shine,
hollow holds the light.

August, in a hush of green
She rests mid-breath,
carved in blue and stillness—
a silhouette against summer’s heart. #Kingfisher #birding #birds #pikeisland #StillnessSpeaks #WildBeauty #BlueSkyBirds #Birder #ForestWhispers #NaturePhotography #AvianRoyalty #Poetry #BirdWatcherDream #NatureLover

Met a young buck on the path yesterday.
Velvet antlers, dappled light,
and a silence that felt like trust. We paused, then parted like wind.

A cedar waxwing, that seems dressed for a quiet, elegant ceremony in the woods, greeted me on Pike Island today. #CedarWaxwing #naturephotography #PikeIsland #minnesota #Bird #Forest #birding #BlueSkyArt #MinnesotaRiver #WitaTanka
There is beauty in what grows imperfectly, persistently, without need for applause. The branches are not rushing. They are simply growing, always toward the light.

Against the blue so sharp, so deep, the bent old boughs in shadows sleep, while through their frame …a burst, a spark. The sun pours in to touch the dark.

Sometimes what you’re looking at is looking right back at you! As the bark parts in time a face stares, wooden lips silently saying…who watches whom here?

The Watcher in the Woods
A knothole pupil stares—
this hollow king of rot and moss
still wears his bark crown.
