Here are a few random nature shots taken (mostly) with the new camera.

This was shot in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm. Caught the lightning!

Family Weekend at the Cabin

It was a beautiful day in Northern Wisconsin as the Jacobs, Posts and Wiemann’s got together on Bass Lake for some boating, a good meal and a campfire.

Bread cooked in a cast iron dutch oven on the campfire. Nom nom nom!

Water fight!

The Honey Badger as seen from across the lake with telephoto lens. Not bad for a hand held shot.

A panorama of Kai and Nora at Canal Park. With careful timing taking the different shots I can make it look like we had the place to ourselves.

Nora at Canal Park

Nora found a piece of bark washed up on the shore. She is pretty sure it is petrified wood.

More watermelon.

Its good to have helpers when loading the car.

Final Days of Summer Vacation

The final set of summer vacation pictures has been processed and I’ve posted a few here. It was a good vacation and the kids had a great time–they are growing up too fast!

Kai at the helm

Nora was excited to get to drive the boat solo.

It looks real but it is just a prop.

We try to come every year to throw pebble into the water.

We didn't get much rain this summer but when we did Nora made the most of it.

Summer 2013 – The first few days

Here are a few pictures from the start of summer 2013. It has been an eventful few days with the delivery of our boat, the roof close to completion on the addition, attending Jerry Hanacek’s service and having a family get-together with Grandma Ellen, Grandpa Art, Uncle Jim and Ron and Sal Miller.
