On a 6 mile open ice crossing of Nipigon Bay from St. Ignace
Island to La Grange Island during a 12 day winter expedition
within the newly dedicated Lake Superior National Maritime
Conservation Area; February 11, 2008. Temperatures of 0 F
with a 15mph+ north wind in our faces yielded windchills in
excess of -20 F and made in necessary to complete the crossing,
pulling our heavy tobboggans without any significant stops.

| Clic Extreme goggles. Clic supplied sunglasses for the crew including these very stylish goggles I'm wearing. Gary's photographic magic managed to get the reflections of Chris and Jon but none of his camera in this shot. |

| I was sure this Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a goner after hitting the window - totally limp and unresponsive when I picked him up with his head hanging. I thought for sure I'd just be holding him while he died. Then his eyelid flickered. I took him out into the May sunshine and shielding him from the cold wind let the sun warm him. As signs of life returned I had my father snap these shots. I took the final one of him after he flew to the cherry tree and did the drawing above for fun. |

| Finalist in the 2008 Federal Duck Stamp Competition (18th); Northern Shoveler I hadn't entered for 10 years but had a nice background from my trip on the Rio Grande last year where I'd seen tons of ducks (including Northern Shovelers). I didn't think backgrounds win Duck Stamp competitions but felt like giving it a go. Not as good as my 9th place in '95 but maybe I'll give it another shot in '09 (less background focus though). Photo of the piece will be up soon; available $940.00 |
