Twin City Photos

I’ve visited this spot many times around sunrise, always looking for a shot. This is what I found this morning. The sun was already fairly high, and appeared to be drawing the mist towards it.

Taken near our camp site up north on a foggy morning.

Always like to set a few of these up around our campsite. Supposedly they keep the mosquitoes away, but I think a bug zapper would work better.

What do you see in these flames?

Really roughing it here, aren’t we? Just sitting around at our campground, I mounted the much maligned kit telephoto on my Canon Xti and pointed it in Rissi’s direction. Got some other shots too that surprised me. Maybe it actually is worth the $200 or so it’s reported to cost, not the $29.95 I thought one might be willing to fork out for a paper weight that looks like a telephoto lens.

This is the Kettle River that passes near the seasonal campground where we keep our camper. In case you don’t know around here ‘seasonal campgrounds’ are places where you essentially park your camper for the entire season. It’s sorta between going to a new place every time you go camping, and having a cabin, which most keep for many years if not a life time.

It was our first trip up there for the season to get things opened up. Our main camper which we’ve had for a year now survived the winter just fine. No snow damage, all appliances worked, and no rodent infestation, always a concern when you leave a camper unattended for a long time. Also moved our pop-up camper which is used by our younger kids their friends back to the edge of the woods. It’s a lower area a hundred feet from the Horn River and spring time flooding has occurred there in the past.

Looking forward to many more trips up there, and hope to bring back some interesting photos.
