In my next-to-last post, I showed you the 12 monthly images deemed worthy in my mind to hold a special place. They were the watershed moments, flashes of insight and fortuitous circumstances that melded into an image of unique meaning to me and perhaps, me alone. You can view them here. I also like to...

Some shots are millions of years in the making. The first time I visited this fossil eroding out of the Badlands National Park Sediment it was a dreary overcast day. The second time, the fossil skull was covered with snow. Both times, I thought something was missing: a shot to do this...

You have to say the title out-loud to get it~ Some of you may remember a previous entry when I was feeling froggy.

The waning days of the butterfly exhibit at the Minnesota Zoo prompted me to go out and do a little end-of-season butterfly photography.
