Grand Marais, Minnesota

On our drive to grandma's last week we stopped in Grand Marais, MN. If you have never been there it is a place to visit. It's a tiny-tourist town with lots of little cafe's and gift stores but it also has some of the most beautiful scenery around.
I took all of the following photos while we were letting the dogs out of the truck to tinkle. I can't imagine how they would have turned out using my mom's Nikon camera. Mine is just a fuji digital camera, no lenses to put on and no thinking to do!
Grand Marais is nestled along the northern shore of Lake Superior.

This is what happens when the waves from the lake crash up onto the shoreline and then freeze

Look at this poor, little, lonely weed all encased in ice! I thought it looked so crazily out of place just standing there.



This is the walking path by the harbor
On our way out of town we noticed some really cool trees, full of little red berries. I have no idea what they are but thought they were beautiful.

Hope you enjoyed- I'm going back to freezing my buns off (negative 16 today). Brrrr....

I'm home

Well, Daisy and I have made it back safely from the Northpole-Grand Portage, MN- from a relaxing visit with Grandma J. Since I just returned last night at about 8 pm I have yet to upload or photoshop any pictures but didn't want to go without posting today.

Below you can enjoy some of the pictures I took on my Newfoundland hunting trip in September/October of 2007. I never have and never will claim to be good at photography but the land up there was just screaming to have it's picture taken and I'm sure my pictures would have turned out just as nice had I used a 110 film camera!!!

Enjoy!

This was taken while we were waiting for the float plane to arrive& fly us into camp. It was such a foggy, rainy day but I thought this was one of the most beautiful pictures I was able to get

I love the contrast of the monochromatic background with the bright yellow of the plane wing and the reflection of the sun on the lake (don't mind the dirt on the plane window)

This was taken the morning we were packing up and flying out of camp. It was also the nicest day of our entire trip (go figure). I love the contrast of the land and the soft, fluffyness of the sky
