Today we had 60 degree weather and it was beautiful but last Sunday we received 13″ on new snow with 50 mph winds. In the middle of this storm, we were visited by a couple chickadees. Why would something so small want to be out in that weather?

I started taking photos of Duluth and the Northshore of Lake Superior a few years ago. I am inspired by the beauty of the area. After living here most of my life, I always thought the area was nice, but I have found a new appreciation of it's beauty. My goal is to share some of these sites with you.
I’m back
It has been awhile since my last blog. Have no fear, I am still around. No winter in the northland is complete for a dog lover without checking in with the Beargrease. Such beautiful dogs. And their love for pulling never ceases to amaze me. Enjoy!
Autumn in Winter
Even though winter is trying to take over this area, it is nice to look back at that short season called autumn. If only we could hang on to fall longer. It has always been my favorite time. These pictures were obviously taken awhile ago, but they help warm me up. I hope you enjoy them as well. And Happy Thanksgiving to anyone who views this.
A Fall Trip Up The Shore
Is there a better place to take photos than at Split Rock? There is just something about that lighthouse on the rock cliff. My son and I hit the lighthouse before the sun. After the sun rose, we moved up the shore to the Baptism river. It has been many years since I visited the falls on the Baptism. Wow, talk about memories! Since the river up past the falls is now part of Tettegouche State Park, things are a little different but still quite the sight. We had a enjoyable fall day for our little adventure. So even though Duluth and the north shore are now covered in snow, I think these photos give you an idea what fall can be like here.
Early Morning in Duluth
If you are willing to get out of bed before the sun comes up, there are some wonderful sights to see. And as the sun comes up, wow! It is worth taking a look. However, if getting up early does not appeal to you, maybe you can get some enjoyment from these photos.
Autumn on the North Shore
Just got to love autumn on the North Shore. Between the colors and the big lake starting to roll. Never fails to amaze me that we drive through this all the time and never really pay attention. So you know, these photos are from a couple years ago. I took some pics last weekend I am working on but found these and had sort of forgot about them. So I thought I would share them. Enjoy!
Tischer Creek
This is the creek that runs near my house. Normally at this time of the year, there is not a lot of water in it. But this year because of all the rain, it is still moving a lot of water. Not sure why I do not spend more time shooting this close to home.
Canal Park Morning
Got to love Canal Park in the morning. Always one of my favorite spots.
Close to Home
Sometimes you don’t have to travel far to find beautiful things.
Minneopa Falls
Its funny, no trip to Good Thunder seems complete anymore without a trip to Minneopa Falls. I used to drive by this every day and never stopped to look. Until a couple of years ago, I had not seen this since elementary school. Was not too big of a deal to me back then. Just goes to show that your perspective of things change over timeand you can usually find beauty just about anywhere (if you look for it). If you have never been there, and are in the Mankato area, it is worth a stop.
