Katie, packing up after a looong hour of counting cars!

The view from our car-counting spot! We didn't feel like sitting between a retaining wall and 45 mph traffic, so we sat on top!

Fatigue cracking... Had to take a picture, since our homework (due Monday) is to take pictures of pavement distresses and write about them.

same stuff as the one below... For some reason I want to call them Milkweed, but I didn't think to open them up... anyone know for sure?

these caught my eye on the way to school... they looked really pretty in the morning light, but I was late so I couldn't stop.

Flashback to this summer! Our trusty little boat!

the swim club gang at Misery Bay... (more pictures here)

my home away from home... (from the high dive)

So there's an empty lot (er, a few, it's almost a whole block) across from our house... So I went for a quick hike. Discovered why there were no houses too-- it's all rocks! Anyway, caught this view along the way.

Usually afraid of chipmunks, but this one was posing! What can I do?

ok, so I have this fascination with the tops of trees... no, not really. I do have a fascination with the contrast between the blue blue sky and the changing leaves...

look very closely at this picture....

THERE'S NO BLACK SPOT!

My camera came back today, and you will notice that the lower left-hand corner is as blue as the rest of the sky around it, and not black. Lots more pictures on the way!

What a humid and hazy day! This was taken less than 5 minutes ago... It's supposed to storm later I hear, but there are no big clouds, just overcast right now. (76 degrees and 69% humidity-- in the UP?!?!)

The long walk back to the car... Can you believe the colors are changing already!?

Lake Superior was SO warm (for Superior)!!!
