Yes it is. The copyright is owned by Paul B. Southerland.

And, I own the copyright to this one: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1175/732160898_2cbcc08c30.jpg?v=0 . I took this picture at Rice lake State Park, MN. Even though it does not have my name on it, the copyright is owned by me.

*EDIT* - If it's published, it's copyrighted. From the U.S. Copyright Office web site:

When is my work protected?
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.
