The weather was absolutely awful at Split Rock during my visit. It was raining. It was windy. It was cold. There were 5 foot waves crashing into the shore. I only stayed long enough to snap a few photos before retreating to the AmericInn in Silver Bay, MN for an evening of fun with my kids in the pool and on the waterslide.

My daughter came up with the name. If you didn’t notice she is black and white — like a domino, so it seemed like a good fit.
Our job now is to slowly introduce her to our current kitty, Flurry. The two have seen each other, and Flurry is NOT thrilled about the idea of another cat being her yet. So far all she has done is growled and hissed at Domino. I think if we give her some time, they’ll work it out. In the meantime, when Domino can’t be supervised, she is living in one of the bathrooms in the house where we know she’ll be safe. I’m sure you’ll see LOTS more photos of her over the coming years.

It has been an incredible fall for fall colors. I love taking time to capture the splendor of nature and each year I seem to travel up the North Shore of Lake Superior to capture what I can of the beautiful colors of the leaves. This gallery has some of the photos I’ve taken over the years. Enjoy!

Sundew was built in Duluth and had its final home port be Duluth as well. After being retired, it was given to the city of Duluth to be used as a museum ship, which lasted only five years. After that, the city sold the vessel to a local man named Jeff Foster, who now uses it as his personal pleasure boat. Some pleasure boat, huh?

To get this picture, I invited Buddy to play on the dock during the “Golden Hour” — the hour just before sunset. I grabbed a stick and started throwing. I used my Nikon F2.8 70-200 to capture the action.

It was a difficult day for photography. It was HOT and HAZY all day.

The lighthouse on the North Pier was completed in 1910. It currently displays a flashing red light. The red color comes from red panels that surround the original 5th order fresnel lens.
What I like about this photo is the perspective. I purposely had the horizon not level and the camera almost resting on the top of the breakwater wall.

She was carrying a partial load of salt, which she will unloaded overnight and then moved to the ore docks to load taconite.
