  • Watching the sun set in the shores of Kona Hawaii on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship "Pride Of America"<br />
<br />
May 6th was a roller-coaster of emotions. It was Linda​'s and My 20th Anniversary, so there was much joy and celebration in our moods. Just as the sun was starting to set along the shores of Kona, Hawaii on our trip, we received the news that a long time family friend of 30+ years had just passed away. <br />
<br />
She was a "Neighborhood Parent" to me growing up (this was back in the days when, not only was it allowed, it was expected that neighbors should reprimand us youngsters for doing stupid things if they noticed it), and later in life a respected friend. She was also a life long friend of my Mom and Dad. My wife grew up on the same street and knew her just as well. <br />
<br />
As we received the news on the top deck of the cruise ship we looked to the setting sun, as I held my mom and we cried together watching the sun fade away. For as much pain as there was in that moment, watching the sun fall from the heavens, we both knew that there was no better place or time to have to deal with the emotions of the moment. <br />
<br />
Luckily I had my camera with me (when do I not?) and I was able to take a few shots to memorialize that blissfully painful moment. And that's why I love photography too, such emotions can be captured forever with a single click of a button.

  • Located at 4612 Hwy Z in New Melle, Missouri, Seven Stones offers a relaxed, intimate atmosphere for the enjoyment of rare and exceptional wines from around the world. They are located in an old school house built in the 1800's by German settlers in New Melle, MO. The old school house was recently renovated and re-opened this summer as a wine garden that is committed to preserving the rich German heritage of New Melle.

  • Taken near Marthasville, Missouri this Old Dilapidated Barn was just begging to be photographed. I love old barn shots, something very calming to me about them for some reason.<br />
<br />
Marthasville is located near the site of the early 1763 French fur trading post named La Charrette. It was founded by Dr. John Young in 1817 and named after his first wife Martha Fuqua.<br />
<br />
The Missouri, Kansas and Eastern Railroad was completed through Marthasville in the winter of 1892 and taken over by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad (MKT) in July of 1893.<br />
<br />
The area is also full of historical importance, both local and national. The Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition overnighted here in 1804 on their way up the Missouri and again on the way home in September of 1806. Daniel Boone and his relatives lived in the area. He and Rebecca were buried on the Bryan farm. His gravesite is just one mile east of Marthasville.<br />
<br />
The region was widely settled by German immigrants during the 1800's who brought their wine making skills with them and were attracted to this Missouri River Valley which has become known as the Missouri Rhineland.<br />
<br />
Some of the many attractions in and around the area are; the KATY State Park Hiking and Biking Trail, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and the Daniel Boone Monument. You'll find the finest wineries tucked in along our scenic drives through the hills and along the Missouri River.

The affected portions were all part of a federal environmental cleanup project and required to meet certain environmental health and safety standards. The area is now considered to be safe for all recreational pursuits allowed on the area, as well as the wildlife found within the area.

  • Sunrise Light Peeks Over The Trees Along The Buffalo River, America's first national river, begins its 132-mile tumble down toward the White River in the upper Ponca wilderness, some of the most remote and rugged country in the Ozarks. This stretch of the river is not suitable for floating, has little access and is mostly seen only be dedicated hikers. But the river reaches the historic Boxley Valley and begins a peaceful meandering that stretches the length of the long, narrow break in the hills before it begins its magnificent sweeps around the high limestone bluffs for which it is famous.

  • Something Klondike Park has that many other area parks don't is tall, rocky hills where visitors can see over the tops of trees - which is especially advantageous for viewing autumn colors.<br />
<br />
The park is a converted rock quarry. Some high, rocky bluffs overlook the heavily forested interiors. The water in the lake is clear enough to watch fish and some large turtles as well as the array of dragon flies. Of the seven or so short hiking trails, two are unpaved. The Lewis and Clark Trail runs parallel to Highway 94 and is the easiest and longest. The unpaved Hogsback Trail is the most scenic. Some mountain bike routes will test your skills.<br />
<br />
Located in southwestern St. Charles County, Klondike Park is a 250-acre park, acquired by the County in 1999. This park lies adjacent to Highway 94, with access to the Katy Trail and the Missouri River. The Klondike Park site has, in the past, been heavily disturbed by quarry operations and is a study of nature's resiliency. Primitive, basic tent camping and camping cabins are all avialable for rental, and the new beautiful Curt Loupe Conference Center is available or meetings, special gatherings, and wedding ceremonies and/or receptions.

The North Shore of Lake Superior runs from Duluth, Minnesota, United States, at the southwestern end of the lake, to Thunder Bay and Nipigon, Ontario, Canada, in the north to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, in the east. The shore is characterized by alternating rocky cliffs and cobblestone beaches, with rolling hills and ridges covered in boreal forest inland from the lake, through which scenic rivers and waterfalls descend as they flow to Lake Superior. Americans often refer only to the Minnesota shoreline from Duluth to the international border at Grand Portage as the North Shore

  • Taken on the Minnesota side of Lake Superior about 10 miles from the Canada border. The heavenly skies frame this vibrant wooded waterscape vista looking across the great lake.<br />
<br />
Lake Superior is the largest of the five traditionally demarcated Great Lakes of North America. It is bounded to the north by the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of Minnesota, and to the south by the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Michigan. It is generally considered the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area. It is the world's third-largest freshwater lake by volume.<br />
<br />
The lake is fed by over 200 rivers. The largest include the Nipigon River, the St. Louis River, the Pigeon River, the Pic River, the White River, the Michipicoten River, the Bois Brule River and the Kaministiquia River. Lake Superior drains into Lake Huron by the St. Marys River.<br />
<br />
Over 80 species of fish have been found in Lake Superior. Species native to the lake include: bloater, brook trout, burbot, cisco, lake sturgeon, lake trout, lake whitefish, longnose sucker, muskellunge, northern pike, pumpkinseed, rock bass, round whitefish, smallmouth bass, walleye, white sucker and yellow perch. In addition, many fish species have been either intentionally or accidentally introduced to Lake Superior: atlantic salmon, brown trout, carp, chinook salmon, coho salmon, freshwater drum, pink salmon, rainbow smelt, rainbow trout, round goby, ruffe, sea lamprey and white perch.

  • A golden view of Lake Superior along Minnesota's North Shore. This shot was taken at The Naniboujou Lodge and Restaurant.<br />
<br />
Naniboujou Lodge was first conceived in the 1920's as an ultra exclusive private club. Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey and Ring Lardner were among its charter members. A membership of 1000 was originally sought, but when the stock market crashed on "Black Friday" precipitating the 1929 depression, the club began to fail. In the mid 1930's the club reached a state of financial shambles. The mortgage was foreclosed, and it was sold. <br />
Throughout the succeeding years the Lodge has been owned and operated by various corporations or private individuals and families. Today you will find an exciting revitalized Naniboujou. Still reflecting the aura of the 20's, Naniboujou is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The Lodge boasts Minnesota's largest native rock fireplace, a 200 ton work of art which stands in the 30 x 80 foot Great Hall (now the dining room)
