A lesson in aperture last week was the perfect excuse to get out my macro lens and capture the intricacies of the dandelions in my backyard!

North Dakota is having trouble deciding if it wants to be winter, spring, or summer.

Despite the bi-polar weather, grass is greening and trees are blooming as seen in this image of an American red squirrel in a horse chestnut tree.

Caught this poor little American red squirrel looking more like a porcupine during this morning's spring rain shower.

Super excited to announce that I hit that button and enrolled in professional development courses at the University of North Dakota to sharpen my photography skills! I'm really looking forward to seeing how these classes help my passion for photography grow!

👀 Is that a warm up I see on the horizon?! 👀

Here’s hoping the wind stays calm and I can actually get out for some shooting within the next few days! (Cabin fever is real y’all!)

I don't know about y'all, but I could go for a sunburn and a mosquito bite about now. ☀️🦟

I guess I'll settle for reminiscing about summer with these flower images.

Stay warm, my friends!

So, how’s the weather where you’re at?

Last Thursday it was 40°. Then we had a blizzard on Friday and yesterday. We’re currently on day four of below-freezing temperatures and it doesn't look like it will “warm” up until then end of the month.
