Nature Photography

Frogs eyes and head emerging through a dense layer of green duckweed, camouflaged against the still water in a quiet wetland scene

Row of bare winter trees coated in fresh snow, their branches outlined in white against a soft gray sky, standing quietly over an unbroken blanket of snow in a calm Midwestern landscape

Close-up of a thistle in bloom, its purple brush-like florets rising from a tight cone of overlapping green spiny bracts, with the sharply armored stem and leaves standing out against a dark, softly blurred background

Dragonfly clinging to a slender plant stem, its transparent veined wings held open and its vivid green-and-red eyes sharply defined against a softly blurred green and brown background

Wildlife, landscapes, seasons, weather, and the natural beauty of the Midwest — captured with clarity, patience, and a documentary eye.

This gallery includes wildlife behavior, seasonal color, rural Illinois scenery, and atmospheric moments from the field.
