This is significant! If Congress gets their way with selling off public lands in and around the BWCA, they can do it anywhere. The BWCA is personal. This is where I learned to canoe. This is where I did my first multi-day camping trip. The BWCA is some of Minnesota’s most beautiful wilderness.

I forgot I took this sunset panorama at Crater Lake a few months back. I was waiting and hoping the clouds would clear up by the evening so I could finally get a photo of the milkyway over the lake! As evening approached, the mosquitoes and flies became more voracious, chowing down on my legs.

Minnesota DNR approved a Chilean mining company to drill at the Boundary Waters’ edge. The Walz administration could have stopped it. They didn’t. The Boundary Waters and our public lands deserve better. Support the fight: www.friends-bwca.org/donate #BoundaryWaters #ProtectPublicLands #NoMining

Developers are building these data centers in places where water is scarce (think Nevada, Arizona, etc) AND in places that hold our largest sources of freshwater (i.e. Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc). This is not innovation. This is exploitation. #ai #saveourwater #publiclands #stopthesteal

WPR reported on 2 of Wisconsin state representatives wanting to ban any “rights of nature” ordinances in Wisconsin. This is paving the way for data center construction and more. Remember, at the end of it all, you can’t eat money. Nature rights are human rights. #wpr #npr #nature

The beautiful Sitka spruce burls of the Olympic coast 💚 . There are many theories as to how these burls formed - fungi, environmental factors (e.g. saltwater corrosion or wind erosion), etc - but the burls are benign.

My prized Roosevelt bull elk captures of 2025! For wildlife portraits, I sometimes love doing both color and black & white prints. Especially for bison and elk, the black and white prints add an interesting dramatic twist to the capture.

Well, the smoke is back in Seattle 🥲 Unfortunately, the Bear Gulch Fire in the Olympic National Park has blown up 😔 We need rain soon and a lot of it. As an FYI - I recommend Watch Duty and Paku for wildfire tracking and air quality, respectively. EPA data is inconsistent, so Purple is all we have.

The boreal owl has a dependency on black woodpeckers. Black woodpeckers create cavities in trees, which owls use for nesting. This species interdependency is very common in the animal and plant kingdoms. #wildlifeconservation #birds #borealowl #protectwildlife

It's an #irruption year! Lots of #snowyowls have migrated further south into the northern mainland US to hunt and stay for the winter! An irruption year is where owls have more chicks due to a larger population of lemmings during the previous summer.
