@CherNohio Thanks! In three weeks, I will be attending a Night Sky Photography Workshop in Michigan's Upper Pennisula. I'm hoping for a few good shots while there too!

@gettinaway
That sounds intriguing. I hope you do and will share them with us! I really do love your photography.

@CherNohio I've been staying at my mothers since January. Shes been under hospice care for 7 months now. I did this for my dad too. My youngest brother has been here staying with her since the pandemic started. They enrolled me into the workshop as a thank you/birthday gift. It takes place in the Seney Wildlife Refuge in Michigan's Upper Pennisula. There are just 10 spots in the workshop and will be in the refuge from 7pm-3am. After that I'm take a few days to chase waterfalls sunsets.

@gettinaway
I've not been to that Refuge but have been in the UP. It's about as pure as it can get up there. So so beautiful. I'm envious and now really looking forward to your photographs!

The gift is so thoughtful and perfect for you. I'm sorry to know though that your mom is in hospice care. That's so very hard. Hugs to you and your family.

@CherNohio Thank you! She will turn 98 just before I head north. My dad was 95 when he passed. It's hard watching as they slip away.

The refuge is beautiful. We have access for all night for 3 nights of the workshop. Good chance there will be bear and wolves around too. I was surprised when they told me I was going.

@gettinaway
I remember you saying before that you were more a winter/cold person enjoying the elements of that season. I just didn't care for it in the summer month of July while riding the motorcycle LOL.

Do enjoy your time up there. Bears, wolves and natural beauty...oh my! 💜

@CherNohio Thanks! I've been checking and sorting through my gear. Looking to disappear for a few days!
