• Weekly Photo Challenge: In the Background

  I had hoped to capture a shot for this week’s challenge while at the cabin this past weekend, but no such luck.  Pick had challenged us to: Take a picture of yourself or someone else as a shadow, a reflection, or a lesser part of a scene, making the background, or — as in the…

• Geocaching in Cascade River State Park

  When we meandered to the northern tip of Minnesota at the end of September, following the North Shore of Lake Superior (as I shared in this post about Grand Portage State Park and this post about Judge C.R.

• Travel Theme: Foliage

  Where’s My Backpack? was kind enough to remind me of her weekly challenge (for those of us going through withdrawal since Friday, waiting for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge!).  Ailsa’s theme this week is “foliage” which has been wonderfully abundant here in northern Minnesota the past couple of weeks! This shot is from the Timberdoodle…
