Squirrel on the front feeder, Saturday morning |
Saturday morning breakfast before our ski |
|
|
Yep, those are leftover flapjacks... |
Ruth & Tami relaxing at the first outlet lake along the trail |
|
|
|
|
Fred found an "otter run" out of the trees! |
Ben followed! |
|
|
|
|
|
The Photographer got left in the spindrift on occasion, but I got good photos like this... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fred scores 10 points for most color... |
We ran into this solo skier pulling his gear in a toboggan. He was looking for solitude, and we ran into him. |
|
|
|
|
Ruth, in a glamour pose... |
Ruth, you have something, no, yep, no,
right up by your...nevermind! |
|
|
In spring/summer/fall, this would be a nasty portage with a canoe. |
Nothing but swamp! But it is a mostly frozen swamp, so perfect for skiing. |
|
|
|
Fred with skis off, starting to navigate the 20+ foot drop in elevation between two lakes. |
|
|
There are people in this photo...way up there, hidden behind brush and deadfalls. |
Steve following my blaze down the falls. |
|
|
These photos don't really show it, but it was an up-and-down, over-and-under skirmish... |
Note the drop in front of Steve |
|
|
Ruth stopping for 2 seconds... |
Tami is so happy she can't even
keep her eyes open, LOL. |
|
|
Ben! |
Ben! (closer) |
|
|
Tony! |
Tony! (closer) |
|
|
Tony! (again...) Ben took these photos,
and more later on,
so I showed up at least a couple of times! |
Watch the ankle-twisters...there were many! |
|
|
|
Down at the next lake at the stream outlet. Tami and Tony both found holes in the ice and got iced-up boots... |
|
|
Ben, cleaning off the ice from Tami's ski boot... |
It was a LONG portage, so this was just bound to happen! We separated them quickly... |
|
|
|
|
Right into the headwind going west, although it was only about a 10 mph wind at most... |
Stopping at a BWCA campsite with a fire grill, and some socializing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ruth & Fred! |
|
|
Ruth & Fred! |
Ben, Tami & Steve |

Ben took my camera and shot a bunch of these mid-trip camp photos. Nice job, Ben! |
Goggles were better than sunglasses! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tami, nice light! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Colorful ski and pack art... |
|
|
Great exposure by Ben, showing where we came from across the lake |
Ben self-portrait...not bad, actually! |
|

|
Wide-angle 16mm fisheye fun... |

Ruth put in her contact lenses, finally!
|
|
|
Purposely-fun Wide-angle 16mm fisheye view of Ben making a pouty-pout face for special effect |
Testing long-exposure light-writing at -22F before I subjected Ben & Tami to cold temps first... |
|
|
Tami & Ben, and Neb & Imat
We totally screwed up the clone machine...
|
At around 2am, Ben ran in after taking a nature call and declared that this was outside! |
|
|
Ben and I tried several views and I tried several different exposures, and it worked... |
Enjoy all the rest, without commentary...
