BWCA Fires
This isn't really "good photography" but there is an interesting story surrounding the photos. One of the days we were visiting the BWCA, we were able to see the extensive smoke from the fires that were started by lightning at Pagami creek (The below photos were both taken at Lake #1 - BWCA)
We chatted with one of the firefighters there. We were amazed at the fact that they paddle in with 1,000's of pounds of equipment to assist in fire fighting. WOW! We asked him if he enjoyed it, and he said that absolutely loves doing the work. We thanked him profusely. Every one of the firefighters we encountered had a very nice attitude and had nothing but respect and kindness for us nosy-parkers. Maybe they actually just liked seeing Annabelle. HAH! The photo below shows a SMALL portion of all the stuff they have in those canoes.

Birds of a Feather
This pileated woodpecker was way up high on a pine tree in the campground we were staying at. He was chatting at us quite a lot, so TK took Anna and told me to get some pics. I got the camera out of my backpack and got it ready to shoot, when the bird flew right down to within three feet of me in a smaller pine. He was a little shy at first, but then got into having his photo taken.
