The photo in the header of this blog was taken in July 2005. Storm clouds extended along the North Shore for more than 60 miles. Near Grand Marais, hundreds of song birds were found dead in the water. A strong downdraft? There was no rain or wind with the clouds here.
Standing on the deck off our living room, or on the deck in front of our boathouse, the scene is always picturesque. More often than not, it’s the weather or a sunrise that captures the mind. Day and night there is the surf sound, and when the sound stops, we hear coyotes and wolves howling at night. Bald Eagles, Merlins, ravens, crows, herring gulls, merganzers, and always song birds in the daytime.

This is the my first blog entry in the travel series on WordPress. The older posts that follow were previously published on Blogger as Dave’s Travel Blog. I transferred them here today. I encountered problems uploading photos to Blogger, no longer able to position captions with photos, or arrange photos within text. There are tools to use instead in Blogger or WordPress, but the basic Blogger editing function was corrupted. My problem or Google’s, I don’t know. I prefer the WordPress Photo Gallery features, and there are many other features I have not tried.
