    and this Squirrel just couldnt seem to belieave his eyes!…

    oh… a question already!….

    Im using a Canon 20D digital SLR… with a 500mm lens….

    oh.. and I guess I WILL be having a show at the Stillwater artists guild.. probably starting the last week of january… and running through February…. if Im going to do a meet the “artist” thing… I have to set it up myself…. and they are urging me to get all my friends to come… soooooo… I wonder if they care if we have a big IDA get together? lol….

    anyway.. sorry.. thats all the pix for now… Im working hard getting ready for this show… I gotta do all the lil things.. like make biz cards… get prints… set up a website…. write a bio?.. and some other stuff I cant remember right now cuz Im kinda overwhelmed…

    maybe I should just keep shooting! and dont worry bout this other… lol

    well HERE are some more pix… these are NOT mine however… but you might want to see em anyway…

    every wonder why the Edmund Fitzgerald went down? heres some shots of the selkirk settler making a november crossing of superior in a tremendous gale….

    the quote I got with this was

    “this is why we love and FEAR lake superior”

    it starts out nice…

    they are lucky they didnt have to rename this boat the selkirk sinker.. sea sick? Id have been too darn scared!

    Good to see you again Rivereyes!!! Wonderful birding pics and whoever sent you the L. Superior pics, well… WOW!!! Good luck on your show as well, about time you got to show your artistic rather than non-biological self.
