I’m grateful to Erin Moroney LaBelle for introducing this photographer. I’m a fan of bur oaks, so it’s a double delight for me that a treasured one became Mark Hirsch’s focus. They both have such a following!
“A lone bur oak may have forever changed the professional and personal life of one photographer in northeastern Iowa. In 2012, Mark Hirsch began a 365-day photographic journey with a single picture on his iPhone.”

Coon Rapids Cemetery
One of my favorite cemeteries is the one at Coon Rapids, where my Wilson Iowa pioneers are buried. Filled with bur oaks!
