This is a photo I took during the summer of 2003 when I stayed in Wisconsin to be a wild rice intern. You can't actually see any wild rice in this photo (the bed was down river a little in this little flowage, if I recall) but there's some nice yellow dock in the foreground. Even though I saw a lot of really beautiful things that summer, I didn't get that many good photos and I wish I'd had a digital camera back then because I know I would have taken more.
These two I took from Sioux Beach north of Washburn, which is a nice little beach on the peninsula that faces east onto the lake toward Madeleine Island. I really liked the way the water looked that day; it had a sort of shimmery-iridescent quality that the photos captured marginally well.
These two I took last fall on my last roll of film before I got my digital camera. The second one is of the pond outside my dorm; I like how dark the sky came out in that. I used a magenta filter to increase the contrast, but I'm not sure how much difference it made.
This is a stump we found during my Woodland Plants class, when we got lost in the woods trying to take a shortcut. It probably belonged to one of the huge white pines that used to grow in northern Wisconsin. It makes me think of the redwoods I saw in California when I was a kid, and the stump of a redwood that Nell and Eva found in the book Into the Forest.
This picture I took my last night in Ashland, the evening after graduation when my family went for a walk down by the bay and the sunset was so amazing. I took about 20 pictures, but this is my favorite.
I have lots of pictures from this summer; next time I'll post some of those.

Now that I'm done with college I thought I'd put up some miscellaneous photos from Wisconsin that I haven't posted for some reason (mostly because some of them were on my film camera and I hadn't gotten around to scanning them yet). So here they are:
