The cast iron steps spiraling up into the Au Sable Lighthouse. The caretaker spoke lovingly about the art poured into the stairs of a remote lighthouse. They are pretty but my height fearing arse refused after ten steps. #photography #lighthouse #sony #tamron #uppermichigan #lakesuperior

See through cast iron steps leading up into the Au Sable Lighthouse, Upper Michigan. I couldn't. Made it ten steps, looked down and went oh hell no. Very pretty though!

Tail of the Milky Way going over the horizon. A little washed out with moonlight, but turned out very nice! The only night Superior was calm for us- gale winds made the other nights a little wavy on the beach. 🌊 #photography #nature #lakesuperior #milkyway #astro

Caught a parent loon snuggling their youngling between diving for fish. They both dove and reappeared without causing a ripple in the Au Sable Lake surface. #photography #nature #wildlife #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #loon #uppermichigan #snuggles #sony #tamron

A parent loon snuggling their almost grown baby in the water between dives for fish. They both dove- not generating a ripple on the surface of the lake. It was so sweet!

Purple and white deceiver! Very pretty purple on this shroom. Found on a hike! May or may not have paid in blood to the local vampire population for this. 🍄 #photography #nature #fungi #mycology #mushroom #sony #tamron #fungifriends

Great Horned Owl, male. 🦉Patiently trying to get his chick to follow and watch for prey to move out of my way on the trail below. His feets are so fluffy and stabby at the same time! #Photography #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #owl #greathornedowl #sony #tamron

Tylopilus felleus- also known as the bitter bolete. Not toxic but tastes awful. Grows underneath Oak and Beech- and they get to be quite large. The top of this one was plate-sized. 🍄🌿 #photography #nature #mycology #bitterbolete #mushroom #fungi #sony #tamron #fungifriends

A large specimen of a bitter bolete mushroom. Plate sized cap growing under oak and maple forest. Big chonky shroom.

Fog was thick in the morning over the white pines. The wet air and calm while sitting on the dock was a needed moment of peace. 🌲 White pines whisper the best! #photography #nature #fog #fall #spooky #sony #tamron

Fog thick over a white pine forest standing over the river. Sitting on the dock and breathing in the fresh air and listening to the pines whisper was very much needed.

Very pretty male great horned owl! 🦉He was trying to get his daughter to hunt- hikers kick up prey for them to snatch. She was newer at flying and very loudly protesting it. His landings were whispers of leaves #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #greathornedowl #owl #sony #tamron
