p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Minnesota THANKS giving weekend


Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada i decided to head down to Minnesota for the long weekend.Thursday i was up early then worked the night shift, that night the northern lights were suppose to be out so i decided after work to hit the highway and try and catch the northern lights along the Lake Superior shoreline, but they turned out to be a bust
Taking my time, i decided to just keep driving to Split Rock Lighthouse, by the time i got there it was 1 hour before sunrise, so i took a nap in my car, a 1/2 hour later when someone parked beside me, their car door waking me up i noticed it getting light out

Day 1

Mother Nature provided a weekend of colors, in the skies, in the trees

1)


2)


i then headed to one of my favorite hiking areas, after hiking for a few kilometers i headed back to my car and was going to head back slowly to my motel room, i had thrown my camera gear in my car and was just standing outside enjoying the last moments of the area when i noticed movement through the tall grass and out walks this guy, he crosses the stream and just stops looking at me, damn, wheres my camera, in the car, back the my car, crap, its locked, fumbling for the keys i finally got it open got my camera and thought for sure by now i blew my chance at my first wolf shot in the wild, to my surprise he was still there, still watching me

after 32 hours with a 1/2 hour sleep i was ready for bed

Wow, that is an enjoyable set Brian. Good looking landscapes, super critter shots. The wolf looks like it has a wound on it's leg, or is that his third leg. Hoppin' warbler is neat. Well done!!

A very nice set Brian, with a nice variety of scenes and critters. Congrats on your first wolf too. 3, 9, and 13 stand out, but there are really too many good shots to pick ~ Ron
