Duluth Photography - First Weekend Away Since Babies!

Taken graciously by one of the bike rental staff.....

"Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern." Alfred North Whitehead

My husband and I haven't had a weekend away alone in over 3 years ~ It was time! We spent Labor Day Weekend camping in Duluth, MN.
Some gorgeous scenery!!
Fog + Sun + Lake Superior + Lighthouses + Ore Ships + Lift Bridge + Full Moon + Campfire + Views from "Above" = Fab Photo Opps! I see the world as though I'm looking through a view-finder.
Cheers~

We took a carriage ride along the lakefront... Here is our horse, Willy.
