At The Cabin

The weather was beautiful for Memorial Weekend at the cabin.  Sophia and I went on a nature walk to see if we could find anything interesting to photograph.  I think she was hoping for fox, turtles or eagles, but this is what we found.

We saw these crazy kids jumping in the frigid water when we got back from our walk.

I’m still waiting for these to bloom.  It’s been so cold, I think they are afraid to open.

The Honorable James L. Oberstar came in under the Aerial Lift Bridge at 9:30 this morning.  Yes, that really is ice in the harbor on May 8.  I photographed the boat back in 2011 the day before it was christened with Oberstar’s name.  You can see photos here.
