More U.P. This and That

I have so many pictures yet to share with you that I have taken over the last month or so.

So, today, we will start with a collection

without a theme.

What the heck...

we don't always need a theme, do we??

Our apple blossoms

were lovely this year.

I wait every spring for them to blossom.

And to hear the buzzing of the bees in them,

pollenating away:

Someone once left a comment

that they had

never seen a

beaver hut.

So, here you are:

We had spied that huge one on a pond in the woods.

I think this is a female redwinged blackbird...but I am not sure. Does anyone know?:

When we were walking in the woods, trying to find Trilliums, we saw a tree that had "hung on" to its red leaves since last autumn! It was so pretty...just like it did last fall!:

Lovely, dreamy white Trilliums:

One trillium in the dappled sun on the forest floor:

We went to visit my brother

and saw this swan beside a mallard

at the head of the bay

on Lake Superior!:

She was so pretty.

But she was pretty far off shore for me to get clear closeups.

But I love swans so much...I was just happy to see her!:

I hope you enjoyed my "no theme" collection

of photos today!
