Happy Sunday!

I was on vacation last week.  I know how do you take a vacation when you are already retired?  Actually it’s pretty easy.  🙂

We went back to one of my favorite places on the planet.  Leech Lake near Walker, Minnesota.   We stay at a place called Trappers Landing and it is a wonderful resort with a lot of nice cabins and things for young children to do.

It was a good / bad week for me this year.  It was good because I got to spend the week with my family and be able to see the lake.  It was bad because I was sick the entire week and didn’t get to go our fishing even one day.

I love this image of Angie looking at the sunset on one of the newly constructed docks.

This is looking East.  Love how the sun lights up the clouds.  The fish flies were not as bad as last year but they were still prevalent on the lake.

I was messing around with my shutter settings and decided to try this technique.  It is a simple process of slowing down the shutter speed and then zooming the lens while the shutter is open.  I kind of like the effect.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
