Eagle

While we were at the lake this eagle landed near the cabin. I posted some additional photos on Zenfolio.

Vacation at the Cabin

Jan and I hope everyone had a great fourth. We had a wonderful time at the cabin this year even though we didn't catch that many fish. Matt caught a 20 in Northern and we caught some decent sized bluegills but no Walleye.

The deer below was real shy but stayed around long enough to get a couple pictures. We saw several while we were there.

We went to see the fireworks again this year. Three Lakes puts on a great show that lasts about a half hour.
An eagle landed in a pine tree next to Quick's pier. It sat up there for most of the afternoon. Matt and I watched for awhile and then left to fish. When we returned it was still there.
We saw a crane fishing along the shoreline and was catching a lot more fish than we were.
We gave it our best shot but the fish just weren't biting that well. We had the whole crew fishing this afternoon.
We bought a hummingbird feeder while we were shopping for groceries and hung it up when we got back. I put the feeder up and walked out to the boat. As I was walking up the steps to the deck I was buzzed by a hummingbird and they were there feeding until we left. It took less than 5 mins. for them to start feeding.
Hey everyone. We've reached a milestone. This is posting number 200. The blog has been up and active since September of 2005. Almost 4 years. Wow!!

Elsie Mae's 1st Birthday Celebration













A little cake sampling, playing "air blow in my face" with Grandpa Roger, am I supposed to keep this headband on?, and toe time with daddy, were a few of the activities for the day.
