Reflective Farmer

We visited this woman's farm. She is standing in a barn with her two Fjord horses and looking out at the pasture.



Clearwater Portage

A family was canoeing and had walked their canoes from one lake to this lake. The father is putting the first of two canoes into Clearwater Lake.



Black-Eyed Susans

 The Black-Eyed Susans were prolific along the Gunflint Trail. 



Antique Gas Pump

This antique gas pump is at Trail Center in Grand Marais. I remember pumps like this when I was growing up and thought the numbers went by so slowly. Now, the pumps are digital and the numbers - and price - go up much too quickly. 



Wagon Wheel
