Ushering in spooky season with a series of photographs I call "The Tower," focusing on the (overused, but w/e) intersection of nature and construct.

"With every step through the garden,
The tower looked on."

A pair of birdhouses overlook a prairie at the aptly-named Prairie Wolf Park just outside of Grand Rapids. A lovely place with old apple orchards.

A couple shots of a red wing blackbird from East Paris Nature Preserve in Grand Rapids. This fellow was a very willing, if wary, subject as he showed off his eponymous red wings for the camera.

A young deer peers out at me from a stand of trees. Deer often creep me out for some reason. Probably because it feels like they always see me before I see them.

A great egret staring me down from one leg. Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, #Michigan . Such a good trip! I hope you enjoyed these photos! I will lament my dirty lens for a long time to come.
