Don Kilpela found peace and quiet this week on Lake Medora, just as dusk was settling in. Capt. Don mentioned that he'd love to have a cottage on this beautiful location and I'm right there with him on that wish. I don't think it gets much better than this... scenery wise at least. Thanks for the quiet moment Captain Don.

I found today's second photo in a folder where I keep pictures that I can't use right away, when people send them in. It was snapped by Peter Carlson somewhere in the Keweenaw, but I don't have the particulars on where, so this beauty is a "freebie" for everyone to just imagine it's wherever you want it to be here UP North. Thanks also to Peter for this serene scene.

The last photo is an eagle that my hubby and I spotted a week or so ago. It was actually eating something in a field as we drove by and of course I didn't have my camera with me, so being not too far from home, we sped back there, grabbed the camera and returned with the hopes of capturing this regal bird. We thought we had missed the opportunity, when we couldn't find it in the field, but another "eagle watcher" pointed it out in the tree for us. Worked out better than the first spotting, since I was able to zoom right in on it, perched in the tree like that. Sure lucked out on that one. :->

Great shot Mary.

Beautiful scenes today, and especially your 'lucky' shot, Mary! My feeling when viewing all three......'peace and strength'!

Wish I was back home in the Copper Country! The photos are my windows-so I can see my favorite places. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

That eagle seems to me to have a sad expression. Any one else see that?


By RD, Iowa (Rdiowa) on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 08:31 am:

I would characterize the eagle's expression as 'stern'.

I agree with Capt Don. My family owned the A-Frame on 41 across from Lake Medora back in the 70's, and sitting on the porch watching the sunsets was one of our favorite things to do. Got some great pictures.

Probably a mixture of sadness and anger over the decision made in NYC yesterday.....and I'm not referring to anything to do with sports.

The first two pictures are absolutely beautiful, but also fit my sadness today. I'll be attending the services of a childhood friend who died at age 44 - much too young. I hope her spirit is like the eagle - flying free.

FANTASTIC PICTURES!


Stephanie- My condolences on the loss of your friend.


By Stephanie (Stefani13) on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 10:40 am:

The first two pictures are beautiful, but they also make me sad. Later today is a wake for a childhood friend of mine who tragically died in an accident over the weekend. Only 44 - too young. I hope her spirit is flying free, like the eagle.


By Stephanie (Stefani13) on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - 10:42 am:

Thank you, Chuck.

Sorry for the double post, but for some reason my first post did not appear on my end.
