I explored the glamorous life of nature photography this weekend by camping out next to one of the biggest beaver lodges I’ve ever seen. This one was easily six feet high and 20 feet long. Hung out there on a very cold evening for a few hours and never saw the rodent.

I took this shot just as it was getting dark and just before packing up my gear for the evening. I’ll probably give this another shot when I return to this area later this spring or early summer.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

These is another two of the tiny dancers that were in the dance class/recital shoot I did about two weeks ago.

If you lived anywhere in Northern Ohio this weekend you probably spent just about as much time with a shovel as I did.  I figured it was only fair to get a picture of us together so we could remember this special weekend.
