Day 203: Waxwings on the Rocks!

As I noted yesterday, it is fun to have sunrise at a slightly later hour. It’s now possible to head outside to enjoy the early morning activity without having to get up before 5 am! I had noticed yesterday that the Cedar Waxwings often come down onto the rocks in the early morning … thus today’s photos.

I also enjoyed photographing an old laker (the Alpena) as she entered the Duluth harbor at sunrise.

Day 202: Brighton Beach Morning

It’s grand to have the sunrise finally at a more reasonable hour (6 am). Thus, this morning I headed down to Lake Superior (Brighton Beach) about 5:30 to enjoy the dawn’s early light, and the peacefulness of a northern Minnesota morning. Apparently one line herring gull have the same idea as me! Once there was a little more light, the sandpipers enjoyed playing in the waves!
