Rocks and Hosta Day 50

This morning I was up bright and early scrabbling around amongst the trees looking for interesting shadows to make a cracking picture to celebrate reaching day 50 on this project. But then as I left work this afternoon I saw this arrangement of some rocks and a Hosta. I thought it was too amusing to pass up.

Some Holiday snaps

So here are a few more pictures from last weeks jaunt up to the North Shore of Lake Superior. On the Monday we headed up to Grand Marais and the scenic Artists Point.

above: Nice pile of stones with some bright orange lichen growing on it caught my eye immediately we stepped onto Artists Point.
above: We are clambering over Artists Point making our way down to the lighthouse there in the distance. What this picture dosen't show is the fact that 10' to my right is Grand Marais harbour and 15 yards to my left is Lake Superior
above: More Rock, Lichen and a clear blue sky at Artists point. Artists Point is a beautiful place to explore . You'd never run out of thgings to photograph.
above: The very scenic Cascade River falls. Cascade is a very appropriate name as you can see from this picture

Driftwood and Rocks (p.a.d.41)

I was looking forward to today. For today we headed over to Ely, MN to visit the gallery of world famous nature photographer Jim Brandenburg. The weather was dull and overcast so I knew there would be no opportunities for landscapes with beautiful blue skies in them. But this presented me with the opportunity to concentrate on individual elements in the scene. To that end there were many, many photo ops. So many in fact I doubted we'd get home we stopped so many times and back tracked to get a picture. When we returned to our lodgings I couldn't select a picture for the pad. So I left it to my wife to select one. She chose this one of some driftwood and rocks near Lake Kishwashiki (spelling?) I reckon she made a good choice.
