My first morning at Crex Meadows Wildlife Area presented a rare sunrise. Strong winds had raised the dust, which dimmed the rising sun just enough to permit this exposure. The morning flight of Sandhill Cranes from their ponds in the refuge to surrounding farms, where they glean from harvested corn fields, was underway.

Tahquamenon Falls State Park is in Michigan, just south of Lake Superior's Whitefish Point. At 200 feet wide and 50 feet tall, the Upper Falls is the largest waterfall in Michigan. The Lower Falls are a series of smaller, cascading drops. This is one of the busiest parks in the state. Access to the falls is well developed, with paved paths, boardwalks and overlook platforms.

Back in the USA, we stayed at the city campground in Sault St. Marie, Michigan. On the shore of the St. Mary River, just downstream from the Soo Locks. All ships entering and leaving Lake Superior come through here. Needless to say, it is a busy route with many opportunities to observe from our campsite lawnchairs these 1000 footers cruising by.

Continuing with more waterfalls on the Canadian north shore, Magpie Scenic High Falls is located at Wawa, in Ontario’s Algoma Country. You can drive right up to this one. The little town of Wawa was once a gold mining powerhouse. After the gold ore was exhausted and the mine closed, the population dropped by 50%. The town of 3,000 continues to make a transition, assisted by the beautiful Trans- Canada highway, a scenic route that connects the small towns on our Circle Tour route.

Marathon, Ontario. Lake Superior. At "Pebble Beach", where the pebbles are the size of softballs. Tricky to walk on, but they sure are pretty beneath that crystal clear water!

At Neys Provincial Park, further up the Lake Superior shore, we viewed this peaceful, post-sunset scene and moon reflection from the lakeside campground. (53 seconds)

We were camping in Canada at Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The falls were every bit spectacular as I remembered them from 33 years ago!

Dark and moody before sunrise. This 60 second exposure creates an ethereal appearance by smoothing the motion of clouds and water. It will be half and hour before the sun breaks over the horizon. Standing here, watching it all unfold, is an awesome experience. The island is alternatively known as the "Tombolo Island" due to an on-again-off-again sand spit connecting it to the land (AKA, a tombolo), OR Colvill Island, which is an old townsite on Hwy 61,north of Grand Marais, MN.

Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine (a natural limestone) in Yellowstone National Park. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate. Just one of the natural wonders found in our National Parks.
