A pair of bumble bees enjoying a patch of fireweed along Highway 61 just north of Grand Marais, MN. I was on my way to Grand Marais when I noticed this beautiful patch of fireweed. What I didn't know when I pulled over to take pictures of the flowers is that the patch was filled with hundreds of bumble bees. The bees were really working the flowers over. They only stayed on one flower for a few seconds at a time, so it was difficult to get a good photograph of them. I spent about an hour photographing the bees. It was challenging but fun!

Construction Season on Highway 61 :-)
Yesterday there were some really clouds out over the horizon of Lake Superior. As I drove towards Grand Marais I kept glancing at the clouds and eventually I had to stop and make some photographs of them. I knew it would make for a more interesting shot with Five Mile Rock in the foreground, so that's where I decided to stop and make this photo.
A beautiful sunset over Speckled Trout Lake and Swamp Lake from a couple of nights ago. One of my favorite views on this Earth :-)
A recent moonlit night at Middle Falls on the Pigeon River, taken from the Ontario, Canada side of the river. The waterfall was beautiful in the moonlight and the trails of foam made for an interesting foreground.
The hummingbirds love our lilies... so glad to see that our honey bees love them too :-)
