It doesn't get more beautiful than that! Loved the Moose Antler trees too! :-)

Can people mountain bike through there? Next time you go, I'm coming with you! AWESOME pictures. You could make a brochure for them. It's like we are right there with you.

Wonderful pix FTM!!

BRAVO!! Gorgeous pics! We were thinking a motorcycle trip up that way and now you have me convinced.

You really need to submit some of those to the Parade Photo contest, I think you've got some winners in there!

And you can get rid of the date stamp with software, actually a common practice these days (and somewhat controversial when the practice is used to make major modifications, but removing the date would not be considered). It's called cloning in Photoshop and PhotoPlus - I'm not sure what other software offers it. I took the liberty of removing it from one of your gorgeous pictures. It is best done before resizing but see if you can tell in this one ...

thanks, sarah!

amazing, jean! i had no idea. i have been balking at those pricey photoshop programs but one of these days im just going to have to plunge head first. what is photo parade again? sounds familiar.

there is so much to see there, and i didn't even go into the boundary waters.

hop on chicka, but i am far from being in shape for mountain biking! the trails through the farm are virually nonexistant. there is a guide i picked up in ely that told me where it was, which way to walk from the fence to get to the old fishery ponds (where you walk the berm) and to other areas. i didn't go to the other areas b/c man did i have to _____ and it had rained for days- i was already sopping wet. i basically followed the tracks from a quad and when that ran out into the woods, i short cutted through the low wetness where the deer is shown. you ever notice how bad you gotta go when you get out in the woods?

Mmmmmmmm......... That 5th picture looks like it could be a PRIMO singletrack mountain bike trail.

Whitewater rafting anyone?! 8-)

probably just a teaser, semp. it is a short walk.

.8 miles to be exact according to the first pic.

Lush and beautiful - peaceful too!

anyone know what those flowers are? and, anyone know if i will ever load up my other videos?

I love all the greenery and the ferns and the wildflowers and the deer and the waterfalls! Okay i love it all :-) Thanks for taking me with ya, via pictures.--------bonnie

Photo #8 - bottom left flower (white bloom in the dogwood looking cluster) is a Bunchberry

Photo #9 looks like a Wood Anemone maybe.

The next looks like an orchid of some kind.

I still have to search the others.

Lovely photos FTM! Very lush - glad to see you had a great time - would have loved to been there! CT

#9 - changed my mind on that one - what do you think of Trientalis borealis - Starflower?

Here is a link that might be useful: Starflower

maybe you will one day, ct! thanks for the searches. the pink one seems to be shrublike.

Just saw this on the web...

I live in Minnesota and would absolutely love to hike to this waterfall... where is it??
Thanks so much!!!
