I'm a photographer in Minneapolis. It's a middle sized city but it has everything the big ones have. A big river runs through it.

I think he's wondering if I'm responsible for the peanuts he's about to grab. Not that he's grateful or anything. Just wants to know what he's dealing with.

Animals in zoos have lives free of fear, anxiety and conflict. Do they ever just sit and reflect? Gibbons aren't that different from us, really...
It's their day in the sun.

The Green Heron is a classic ambush predator - with keen senses, limitless patience, and the ability to strike quickly when opportunity arrives. Here, he's watching the surface of the water just below.

Here in Minneapolis, we could use some more rain.
Crown Vetch, Securigera varia, not originally native to Minnesota but doing well here - some consider it invasive. The flowers are about an inch across.
