A coworker asked how the Boundary Waters was, and I said great! We saw a moose and a pink lady slipper, and he looked realllly confused..and I realized later he probably didn't know that a pink lady slipper is a rare and delicate wildflower and not literally a shoe. #truestory #boundarywaters #boundarywaters_elymn #bwca #superiornationalforest #publiclands #wildflower #flower #macro #closeup #stilllife #forest #nature #Gunflinttrail #photography #stateflower #pinkladyslipper #portfolio Gaskin Lake 6/9/19

Getting over my bad habbit of only practicing #photography when I'm on a trip. Felt real nice, yesterday, to get out and shoot in my own #neighborhood. Other feelings I had were cold knees, 'cause I had to get up close and personal with a muddy creek for this one. #fallcolors #TwinCities #minnesota #autumn #portfolio

mountain stuff pt 4 🗻 Loaf Mountain, WY I went out to Wyoming spontaneously last summer to see the eclipse with my mom. I had a couple days in the Bighorns beforehand, and I really wanted to climb something. The mountain needed to be doable in a day, more or less safe to do alone, and still marginally impressive. I landed on Loaf Mountain, mostly because its name is Loaf Mountain. Its basically a 11,722 ft pile of rocks. Distance: 9.74 miles (round trip). Elevation Gain: 2,900 ft. Time: 2 hours longer that I promised my mom who was waiting in the car.

mountain stuff pt 3 🗻 Maseltrangen, Switzerland Fun fact: this is where I learned how to drive a standard transmission.

mountain stuff pt 1 🗻 Boulder Canyon, CO fun fact: My dad used to commute down this canyon everyday in a stick shift Geo Metro. -------------------------- How's he doing, you ask? Well the brain swelling went down enough that they were able to return his 'bone flap' so he has a complete skull again! And soon he'll be moving out of the ICU and into a long term care facility where they'll focus on recovering his speech, swallow, and ambulatory abilities so he can go home. Message me for a link to his caring bridge site with more details. #mountainstuff #photography #boulder #colorado #co #bouldercolorado #bouldercanyon #canyon #rockymountains #mountains #valley #flagstaffroad #frontrange #coninentaldivide #indianpeakswilderness #landscapephotography #landscape #lukebirtzer #nikon #nikond7000 #sunset #ponderosa #nature #hike #rockymountainhigh #naturalcolorado #portfolio

✈ Wow! Very proud to say I finally got a photo accepted to Airliners.net. [link in bio] Their photo screening policy is notoriously strict, and a few years ago I tried over and over to submit photos only to be faced with ceaseless rejection. The other day I thought I'd give it another shot. Sure glad I did!

In town with Monroe Crossing who were performing the Bluegrass Mass by Carol Barnett and Marisha Chamberlain at Carnegie Hall. While they were rehearsing, my mom and I were zipping 'round town on the subway, freezing our asses off and eating bagels.

What's your favorite lake in the #BoundaryWaters ? One of mine is Pine Lake. Deep, clear, good fishing, and a waterfall at one end. It's popular, but if you can get a campsite, they're pretty spread out, so you'll feel secluded. #bwca #mn #exploreminnesota #lake #nature #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #pinelake #johnsonfalls #grandmarais #minnesota #sunset #hdr #nikond7000 #nikon #camping #canoeing #canoetrip #fishing #portfolio
