It was a fun evening at Athena's campfire.

All was going well until this approaching storm broke up the outdoor activity.

Unusually large apiary for this region.

Image
This apiary is larger than usual for this area.

Apiary complete with electric fence to keep out bears.

Lurking... and waiting for lunch.

The garden(s) continued to grow and bloom while we were away.

Clematis.

Three days on Duluth's North Shore.

Image
Choice campsite at the "D&D Campground". We always enjoy our visit with our Duluth friends. This choice site is their front yard and this is the view(s) they see everyday.

Image
One of the 3-5 ship we saw pass each day.

Image
Great Lake Ship.

Image
Three masted 'four sail' ship.

Image
When seen together the sailing ship seems fairly large. Ok here is a guess. Based on the person on deck being an estimated 6 feet. I make the boat length to be 48 feet. Any photo analysts in the viewing audience?
