Baird Creek Bed

Creek, Baird Creek, Nature

This is a summertime view of Baird Creek – a natural treasure that winds through northeast Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I took this photo while on a recent hike along one of the well-kept nature trails that accompany the creek. It’s a great place to get out into nature while still in the city.

Tiny Toad on the Trail

Toad, Woodlands, Nature

This is a tiny toad that we almost missed while hiking the forest trails of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Not only did it blend in with with its surroundings, it was only about the size of my thumb. If he hadn’t moved while we were walking by, we wouldn’t have seen him. Quite colorful and bumpy when you take a closer look.

Charmed

Flower, Wildflower, Geranium, Wild Geranium, Purple, Every year I find wild geraniums blooming in the woodlands near our home in northeast Wisconsin. I think this is delightful wildflower which, I guess, explains the numerous images I have featuring them.

I titled this one, “Charmed,” because the stem with those hairy buds reminded me of a lady with a charm bracelet dangling from her wrist.

Two’s Company

Mushroom, Morel, Morel Mushroom, Nature, Macro
The prize of every springtime mushroom hunter – the elusive morel. These morels were found in the woods of northeast Wisconsin.

We haven’t had much success in our search for morels this year. This is the best of what we did find. They are pretty small.  With the hot, dry weather we’ve experienced recently, the window of opportunity may have closed. We’ll see.

Thrice As Nice

Trillium, Trilliums, Wildflowers, White, FlowersEvery spring I am drawn to the beauty and simplicity of trilliums in bloom. These were photographed on a recent hike through a wooded area of northeast Wisconsin.

If you like the trillium blooms, thank an ant.  Ants are the ones who spread the seeds of the trillium plant. Ants gather the seeds and transport them away from the parent plant because they are attracted to the elaiosomes on the seeds. After learning this interesting fact I had to look up “elaiosomes.” Turns out, elaiosomes are fleshy structures that are attached to the seeds of many plant species.

Twigs in Transition


Autumn Leaves, Fall Leaves, Fall Foliage, Autumn Foliage, Red, Leaves, LeafThe leaves are changing. They are taking on their autumn colors…before they fall. These have a nice red glow about them with a slight hint of their former green.

I know I’ve been complaining about the lack of autumn colors in our area.  Still, I’ve been able to find a few spots.  Also, the colors may be getting better.  I think I’m seeing more, anyway. I’ll have to make another excursion into the woods to see if I can find some worthwhile images.

Carnival of Autumn Color

Sumac, Colorful, Autumn, Fall Foliage, Fall
The wide variety of hues in this patch of sumac reminded me of the bright colors you might find at an autumn carnival.

I had a few minutes before I had to be an an appointment so I thought I would make a quick stop at a local waterfall to, hopefully, catch a beautiful fall scene.  Well, the waterfall didn’t have much water falling; barely a trickle.  Even if it were flowing, there wasn’t much color in the foliage surrounding it.  However, there was a small patch of sumac in the area that was bursting with color. Normally the sumac turns a bright red. I’ve not encountered sumac in transition with such a wide range of colors before.  It made my stop worthwhile.

Red Vine

Red, Leaves, Vine, Green, Moss
On a hike though Wisconsin woodlands, the deep red color of the leaves on this vine, draped across a moss covered rock, caught my eye.

This was on a trip to photograph waterfalls in Marinette County.  On a very difficult, rocky trail to a viewing spot, I noticed the contrasting color.  Even though I was there for the waterfall, I couldn’t resist a quick capture.

Branching Out

Spring, Leaf, Leaves, Green, Macro
One of my favorite spring images are the new, delicate leaves that sprout from  trees emerging from their winter dormancy.

As I walk through the woods I’m always scanning my surroundings for something that catches my eye.  This sprig was captured by the late afternoon sunlight and highlighted by a back-light of filtering through the trees, making the very common uncommonly interesting.  (At least to me.) It was just another twig among millions that caught my eye.

Woodland Whites

The trees are coming to life after a long winter’s nap. They seem to do so with great deal of grace and exuberance!

These are the blooms from a flowering tree we spotted on a springtime walk through the woods. The delicate flowers were fresh and plentiful but, I’m sure, will be short lived.

You can get a better look at these blooms by viewing the larger version. Just click on the photo.
