Wedding Weekend

Fri May 22nd I enjoyed taking wedding photos of Mr and Mrs Luke Noordyk. Just a perfect sunny day and a great venue at the horse farm of Dan and Beth in Rumley, Michigan. Great to be a part of such a joyous event.

Cataract Basin

Sunday May 17 we paddled the Cataract Basin on the Escanaba River near Gwinn.
We put in off M-35 and took out at the dam after a couple hours floating, looking at some unknown man-made nests along the way and exploring the island near the dam.

We also checked out the falls below the dam which were a short stroll downstream.

A good way to spend an afternoon close to home.

May 9th Camping Weekend

The weekend of May 9th was spent enjoying a camping weekend in the Kewenaw. Cold nights and snow on Saturday didn't put a damper on activities. Saturday was spent beachcombing on the penninsula and Sunday exploring Manitou Island.

The campfire warmed us each evening as we rotated while listening to Elmer Sat nite and the iPod as we watched the stars peeking out.

The full moon rising Sunday night directed an orange moonbeam at two happy campers enjoying the scene and the solitude and each other. Amen.....

Great Birthday!

I had a great birthday Saturday. We spent the morning kayking the Autrain River. Three hours total time with a few beverage/stretch breaks along the way.
After that we attended a surprise birthday party in the afternoon which was fun as well.
The evening was spent canoeing at L. Levassuer eagle watching, listening to nature and having my birthday supper(and special dessert cake) prepared over an open fire. The lake was like glass. The wind was nil. The companion was the best. An overall awesome day. I wonder what the poor people did that day?
