Tapestry
Otter Creek meanders amid a tracery of green
Dawn pinks the hills
Sunrise creeps over the tops of the hills in the OC valley
Reflections in a tiny stream
Greening up: watercress in a crystalline stream

Enjoying a companionable late-afternoon drift
Two geese have a leisurely paddle in Blackhawk Lake's inlet
A hidden valley
Cliff overlooking wild apple trees ~ a valley bedecked with blooms everywhere
Sudden spring rainstorm
Storm rolls in over Otter Creek
Soaking up the sunshine
Abandoned schoolhouse in Iowa County
The promise of early buds
Wild crabapple tree
Sentinels of the forest
Shafts of light filter between pines in the forest
Miniature world on the forest floor
Spring runoff ~ an evanescent world of tiny waterfalls and streamlets
Water's ageless work
Sedimentary rock in a sandstone cliff
Aloft on the breeze
On the wing
