Ben, Alan, Jim and Jim, thank you for the kind words.

I wasn't sure what to expect on this trip other than we had not been there, I canoed the boundary waters as a teenager, and I hoped for it to be beautiful. All our wishes came true. Step daughter and grandson also tagged along for this trip. Turns out, they (and son in law, 2 other granddaughters) will most likely be moving to the Upper Penninsula region of Michigan soon so I will be getting numerous opportunities in the region of the country in the foreseeable future.
This winter will be to hit all 3 NP's in Florida so I look forward to hopefully capturing some neat stuff there. Also plan to visit Clyde Butcher's Gallery down in the Everglades for some B&W inspiration.
