Just some random shots from Mark Twain Lake.

Summertime camping trip to Mark Twain Lake. Rained a lot, but eventually made it out onto the lake. There were a lot of Blue Herons out doing there thing and I always take the opportunity to photograph one of my favorite birds.

Quiet day during the week on the lake enjoying the wildlife when this bad boy comes flying down the lake.

Caught this little squirrel exploring Pat’s flower garden on a Saturday morning. For the most part he just left the flowers alone, but he was pretty cute when he popped up on the side of the galvanized flower bed.

I discovered that there were fields of sunflowers within a few miles of the house. Thousands of sunflowers planted in a field at the Weldon Spring Conservation Area. I spent three days photographing the flowers at different times of the day.

Some wildlife wondered into the front yard around dusk.

Just sitting on the patio in the rain watching the soggy animals.

Regular lunch visits from the Red-bellied Woodpecker community.

The young Red-bellied Woodpecker on a June day.

Nothing better than when spring finally arrives after a long winter.

Frequent camping visits to Mark Twain Lake are required in order to continue in the working world, haha! I love being on the water this time of year when there is very little boat traffic.
