Taken a week after my birthday, while hiking Big Bay State Park.

Another photo from Big Bay State Park.
Orange Meadowhawk dragonfly
I could have used a deeper depth of field here (the head is not quite in focus), but my favorite thing about this photo are those hairy legs!
Church of the small pines
This group of young pine trees reminded me of a church with a tall steeple. Big Bay State Park.
Big Bay Lagoon
Big Bay’s rocky shore
The hiking trails along the southeastern edge of Big Bay State Park (where I camped on Madeline Island) provide excellent views of the granite rocks that line the shore of Lake Superior there.

For the second half of my camping vacation last week, I drove up to Bayfield, Wisconsin, and took the 25 minute ferry ride to Madeline Island. As soon as I drove onto the ferry, I knew it was a good decision. I haven’t been to the island in at least 15 years, and it felt great to be heading back again.
Trout Lake sunset
This was the best sunset I witnessed last week. Trout Lake near Boulder Junction. That sliver of light near the top is a crescent moon.
