Bay Point Park - Mississippi river

I used photoshop to enhance this picture and add a spotlight effect.  Still learning photoshop too. 

Windmill in Wisconsin somewhere...

I'm still working on learning how to use my Nikon d80 - I'm going to go back and shoot this one again now that I've learned a little more about lighting and exposure.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure where it is.  

Can we be done with old man winter now?

An old barge on the Mississippi River at Colvill

I've spent the past few months walking through snow and ice at

Colvill....can't wait to see these picnic tables spread out and
covered with ketchup, birthday cake and crying babies

Companionship on the river

A sure sign of Spring!

The Carlson kiln at the base of Barn's Bluff - great history.

The river is alive again after a long sleep...

Up on the bluff...

I decided to see what it was like up on the bluff today
- probably the earliest I've ever been up there in the spring. It was a beautiful day.

Yes, the Kiln is still there with some new graphics.

The city - looks like we need some Spring color.

The Kiwanis sign had paw prints all over it - no respect. :)

The steps were completely covered in mud and gunk. Nasty. It needs to rain hard.

It was a little scary with all the ice and snow.

You can see another empty marina.

Will be nice to see some green up here. Spring is on the way.
