Timber crib dam, built in 1894 and submerged for a number of years (a
larger dam was constructed downstream). The top 10 feet or so were
removed a few years back to avoid a failure which, even in it's remote
location, would cause a lot of damage.

Target Brownie Six-20
Here she is... The shutter's on the bottom right of the picture.
Yes, you hold this camera at waist level and look through one of 2
viewfinders. One on the top for "portrait" and one on the side for
"landscape." There are 2 shutter settings (auto and bulb (holds it
open-- you do the timing)) and 2 aperature settings (small and
smaller).
From the brownie
this is a picture of Mom and Dad, standing next to my carport. It was
taken with my Brownie Target Six-20, which was made sometime between
1946 and 1952. The pictures actually turned out pretty good (better
than it looks on here!) but I am finding it challenging to get from
film to jpeg. All in all, pretty cool though!

bridges
saw these pedestrian bridges in Midland and had to stop. I took
pictures with my Brownie too, but those need to get developed (oh the
anxiety of film photography!!!)
Pizza Sam's
This is for everyone who had Mr. Arthur for physics in high school. I
can't tell you how many problems I did about Pizza Sam's ("a water
balloon is launched from the top of Pizza Sam's with a velocity of...)
and I saw it in Midland today!!!

Birch trees on Isle Royale-- wish I could have captured the way they
looked and sounded in the wind!!!

Nate and Amanda
Working hard or hardly working? This is an exclusive photo of our new
diggs. It was surprisingly quiet for being one big room. Not too
bad.

marais
So, I saw this flower on the ground. I thought it'd look cute by
Marais's ear or something, but she wouldn't cooperate with me putting
flowers on her or posing. So I snuck this shot. Gotcha anyway, dog!!
flowers
from Mom and Dad's garden... The flowers are so yellow that I had to
adust the colors my camera picked up!

victory dinner
fresh walleye and beers on the deck... watching freighters and the
Drummond Island Ferry (that's the island across the water) from the
eastern tip of the mainland UP! Best dinner ever :-) 380 miles in 5
days!!!
sandy beach
this was just 10 miles before DeTour Village! Perfect time for a
swim-- almost there! (mile 370/380)
