@Lindy We are seeing signs of migration lately. But the Hot Air Balloons leaving was a real surprise!
@allin Thank you! I always say I take pictures for myself and if others like them it's a plus.
@allin I was hoping for some reds but with the storm approaching the sun soon was gone. It was still an incredible evening to sit by the lakeshore.
@Valkyrie_D Thank you!
@Irishroze @CherNohio Thank you! I'm looking forward to a few days alone. I've picked up a few more pieces of camera gear and accessories before I go. I'll spend the next clear nights practicing for the workshop. And it looks like fall leaves will be starting to show when I head out to the waterfalls. I like to capture fall leaves in the water or on the rocks near the water and a waterfall in the picture too is an added bonus.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @CherNohio I haven't been up there in a few years. It is a long overdue trip!
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @CherNohio Thank you! My mom's health hasn't been good, so it wasn't a big surprise to see it happen. It is exhausting though.
This workshop and the few extra days will be a chance to recharge some. The area I am heading to for the extra days has a number of waterfalls around it. It is also where the Pictured Rocks Natural Shoreline is located. Plus, loads of hiking trails.
@CherNohio Thanks! I've been checking and sorting through my gear. Looking to disappear for a few days!
@CherNohio @Irishroze I am ready for cold. I've always been a winter person. Even tent camped near Lake Superior in the winter several times. Stood at the Whitefish Point Lighthouse at midnight when it was -28*, not far from where the Edmund Fitzgerald sank.
@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.
@Irishroze @CherNohio Thank you! I have spent a lot of my life camping and exploring the UP. So, I will be retracing steps. After three nights in Seney I have a room for three more nights near Munising. I plan on chasing waterfalls during the days and sunset and stars at night on Lake Superior. The Northern Lights would be a really nice extra!
@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.
@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!
@CherNohio Thank you!
@Lindy Thank you!
