Along the northern shore of Lake Minnetonka, one eagle pierces the surface for its catch while two others clash mid-flight above—fighting for what was never theirs. A photo session stretched over three days now lives in a single canvas, capturing the vision that had stirred in me long before the shutter closed."
The Willow and the Redwing
Beneath the soft bloom of the willow, a red-winged blackbird perches with quiet pride—its colors like flickers of fire against the calm sky. A moment of balance between song and stillness.
When the Sun Took Shelter
In the last light of day, the sun sought refuge in the heart of the tree—its branches like open hands holding a flame that would not burn, but bless. A stillness where fire met silence.
Winged Silence Over Water
In a rush of blue and breath, two swans fly as if time itself paused to watch. The shore blurs, but they remain—grace in motion, held in one clear frame.
The Last Light on the Rails
Out of the violet dusk it comes—one engine, two eyes of light, riding a ribbon of fire. As if summoned by memory or destiny, the train presses on through silence, toward something unseen but deeply felt.
"The Gathering in the Woods – Minnesota Wild"
Beneath bare trees on a quiet Minnesota morning, wild turkeys assemble in a ritual of postures and pride. Tails fanned, feathers glowing, they speak the ancient language of the forest—where every stance has meaning, and silence holds the rhythm of the land..
LLove Is in the Air"
In flight, they remain silent—two mallards in perfect rhythm, their colors catching the morning sun like a living ribbon of the rainbow. Their stance midair is not just movement—it’s a page from a book that never grows old, a story written in grace and light.

Lake Minnetonka, April 9, 2025 – Sunset
It rose like a quiet thought—graceful, unhurried—
carving its path through a sky painted in reflection.
The water, still as breath held in awe, offered back its image.
Time paused. Light spoke.
And for a moment, all was still, and all was known.
