Lee Ann's Garden Revisited



I walk by Lee Ann's Garden every day so I've been watching it grow but have just not taken the time to stop yet. Well that all changed tonight. With sunset getting so late now I can spend some time photographing her garden again.



Unlike last year when I started shooting later in the year I'm getting somewhat of a head start on this year. I say somewhat since the tulips are past their prime but many of the plants have yet to blossom.



Last Sunday I stopped and talked to Lee Ann a bit and noticed these beautiful Columbine. These were going to be my first subject. I didn't spend much time tonight before the mosquitoes drove me away. I am glad I finally got over there tonight as it will be the first trip of many.

Hike to Fort Charlotte

Last weekend we spent the afternoon hiking to Ft Charlotte more or less along the Pigeon River. Ft. Charlotte was the western terminus of the Grand Portage where the voyagers would carry the 90 lb bales of fur the last 8.5 miles down to the stockade on Lake Superior. As with so many other trails used by the Europeans this trail was shown to the Europeans by the Native Ojibwe whose ancestral home this trail traverses.

The following images are some of the things that caught my eye.
