A small summer flower macro photo cropped to show the greater detail of the flower, isolating the flower with extreme bokeh. Even the slightest amount of wind would cause this little flower to move so I used a stick to prop against the stem to hold it still. I like to get the most detail possible in the full size image.

A large bumble bee gathering the abundant nectar from a summer clover flower. In the background a small blue field flower brightens the aspect of this picture.

A colorful summer flower glistening in the summer sun. Bright pink outer pedals and a yellow center pistil create a wonderful artistic display. The bokeh from the far right background adds an additional artistic touch.

A scenic country farm late in the evening after an afternoon of steamy summer rain showers. Beautiful wild flowers blossom in front of an old country barbed wire fence. In the distance cattle graze in the field on the moist green grass. A few scenic barns in the distance give a lovable down home country feel to the landscape.

Black Bear setting outside of his den in the summer sunshine. This looks like a healthy bear and no doubt he has put on some weight probably getting ready for the upcoming season change.

A heavenly sky above as the sun sets in a summer evening. The clouds show amazing fiery red and orange colors accented with the deep blue sky in the background. This summer sunset picture was taken after a summer rain allowing for such dramatic shades and vibrant colors.

A large yellow flower up close. This beautiful yellow flower is in full bloom in the early summer. Flower like this are seen in many flower gardens and landscapes this time of year.

These flowers can be found everywhere throughout the spring and summer. They are little daisies and often grow wild in clusters such as this. When they first appear in early spring they have a pink hue and are nice to photograph.

Here comes a big timber wolf headed right for me. I am low to the ground bundled up in my jacket and camera gear and I have tried to stay still and motionless for a long time so he does not get spooked. This wolf keeps pacing all around as if something is wrong. I heard from a DNR employee that this wolf’s mate died this past summer so that is probably why it is so restless.
