The Wild Side of Iowa, A Collection of Images and Essays, by Kip Ladage is a sampling of wildlife images created at either Sweet Marsh, near Tripoli, Iowa or along the Wapsipinicon River, near Frederika, Iowa.

Included with the images are brief essays describing an aspect of the photograph. Some are technical, some light-hearted, and some exude the emotions associated with the image.

Moments with Iowa's Wildlife...for some it may be difficult to imagine wild moments in Iowa. Can there be anything wild in a land of corn and soybeans? Is it possible for "real wildlife" to exist in Iowa?

In this collection of images and essays, Kip Ladage has once again documented the diversity of wild moments occurring in the Iowa landscape. Whether birds, reptiles, wildflowers, or insects, Kip's lenses follow the wildlife of Iowa to capture images of wild moments few people experience.

Each species featured in this collection is wild and each was photographed in Iowa. Through words and images, Kip invites you to enjoy Moments with Iowa's Wildlife.
