Two of My Favorite Things To Photograph

The weather is getting nice but the fire danger is really bad right now.  The fire department has been really busy.  Yesterday some friends house caught fire.  They stopped it and it rekindled last night and they lost it.  We went to see if they needed anything from us.  While we were there my husband got called to a Grass fire. We went when things were all done and they were clearing out.  Because of the cut backs on the DNR (Dept. of Natural Resources) they had to call on other  departments.  This fire burned about four acres.  It was quite windy so it really pushed the fire.  (This is the part of the story that you that know me will get the title of this post) Now here are the  guilty parties.  One of them picked up a bunch of dried grass to see if it would burn.   Well he burned his hand a little and dropped it. Well he found out the hard way that yes it would burn.  When they left they walked down to the farm down the road for lunch and to wait for the elders.  I can't imagine that they will be very happy with them.  It almost burned down the neighbors house too.  Now my husband is out on another brush fire.

Little Ride in the Big Woods

If you've read any of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books you've probably heard of the Big Woods that used to cover a big chunk of Minnesota and Wisconsin (Little House in the Big Woods). There are still some remnants of the Big Woods in Minnesota.  Yesterday I went for a Popup Linkbike ride on the Luce Line.  I stopped a few times to Popup Linkhike back into the Big Woods. The Popup Linkleaves form a canopy so that hardly anything grows on the forest floor.  There are some Popup Linkbeautiful large trees in the Big Woods.

This last shot is just a Popup Linkbonus shot of Anna taken during one of our dinners eaten outside.

Also thanks to those of you that responded to my "Help. What are those spots" posting. They were indeed dust on my sensor.  The kind and helpful folks at Canon Factory Service helped me clean my sensor by instructing me over the phone..didn't have to send the camera in!!!!


Frost

There was frost on the Popup Linkleaves this morning, so I went for a walk on the Popup Linkhill to look at the Popup Linkview . Then down the Popup Linksteps , through thePopup Linkwoods and back to the Popup Linkstile.

Be gentle, this is my first Popup Linkpost.
