Minnesota Lakes and Wetlands

Water shapes the Minnesota landscape in ways that are easy to take for granted. This collection focuses on the lakes and prairie wetlands of southwestern Minnesota – still mornings, cloud reflections, cattails, and the way the same view can look completely different depending on the season or the water level.

Several of these images were captured at Wolf Lake in the Windom wetland conservation area in Cottonwood County, a place I visit regularly across every season.
