Saw these little cuties yesterday on the Root River ...

And we got response calls using the iBird app sound files.
Thanks to birds in photos for the thumbnails. Gorgeous bird photo site, btw.

Looking over Winona, Minnesota ...

On our way back from biking on the Root River, we saw these cloud formations.
Here’s a link to the high res version of the pano.

Bloom watching ...

I threw the best of my flower shots into a slideshow for a quick overview. Check out the bigger version on the Vimeo hosting site.

Overlooking Mic Mac Lake, Minnesota ...

A few years ago we cabined on Mic Mac Lake on the Minnesota shore of Lake Superior. The name caught my interest immediately; the Mi’kmaq (earlier spelled Micmac) are a Native American tribe indigenous to the maritime provinces of Canada, where my mom grew up. So I asked about the name. Here’s the scoop: "A logging camp was set up on the shores of a lake the loggers called Mic Mac, after the major Indian tribe from their native New Brunswick, Canada. They took the Mic Mac’s Algonquin names for New Brunswick landmarks and gave them to the lakes in Minnesota."

Hiking the Baptism River ...

It’s been a few years since we have camped and cabined at Tettegouche State Park on Lake Superior. Always nice. Here's the map and the big version.
