Morels growing on a tree at Dow/Veits Woods in Mount Pleasant, Mich.

In the Details: Dow/Veit’s Woods

I have always enjoyed photographing nature. The untouched simplicity is always captivating. The woodland is nestled in a neighborhood minutes from Central Michigan University’s campus. It is used by the Biology Department as an outdoor lab, but it is not uncommon to see people walking their dog, hanging in a hammock by the river, or using it as a space for relaxation. Nature is often seen on a broad scale, but this gallery invites you to view the details.
