April Showers

If April showers bring May flowers, Black Bear Cabin will be beautiful this spring. This was the scene at the bottom of the driveway after two culverts apparently overflowed. MDOT had it all fixed up in not time.

Dorsey and Kasey

More test shots with the new D300

First D300 Shots

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 16:29:00 +0000

These are some of the first pictures taken with the D300. Taken in a church in very low light at ISO 3200. Knowing nothing about the camera, I just set it to P, ISO 3200 and shot away.

Even though the camera was in the hands of a neophyte, you can see the low-light abilities of the camera and how a VR lens can keep shots in focus. Check out the shutter speeds overlaying the pictures.

What Dogs Do During a Blizzard

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:05:00 +0000

The Keweenaw has been experiencing a blizzard Saturday and Sunday. People like to cook comfort food, watch movies, and stay warm. What do dogs do? Well our dog decided to eat some of our comfort food...an entire loaf of homemade bread. At least it was oatmeal bread so maybe heart disease won't be in Dorsey's future.

The bread was eaten Saturday night. The air poops (Gabby's phrase) started Sunday morning. So we thought we would share some pictures of our dogs hanging out during the blizzard. As you can see, Kasey doesn't change much of her behavior during a blizzard. She maintains her comatose state.

Enjoy and stay warm!

Missing Tooth

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:17:00 +0000

Gabby lost her first tooth this week. And in typical Gabby fashion, she was happy to pose for some pictures.

Whitecaps Cottage in January

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 16:55:00 +0000

Kriss took some pictures at the cottage this week. Lake Superior is still not frozen, more lake effect snow to come.

Snow Patterns and Birds

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 14:47:00 +0000

Our recent snowstorm created some interesting patterns on our fence. It seems, the storm also created some hungry birds who wanted to feed on the crabapple trees.

Grotto in the Snow

Some pictures from the Christmas Pageant practice at St. Anne's Sunday morning.

This is a little bit of a new gallery style using Adobe Lightroom so it may cause some viewing issues.

Christmas Morning

Pictures from Christmas Morning. Santa was good as he always is.

Reindeer Oats and Carrots

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 22:11:00 +0000

Christmas Eve isn't complete until the little children (Gabby) make sure that Santa and his reindeer get fed. Here Gabby and her mom make sure the reindeer oats get Santa to the house.

Also, Gabby had to make sure Santa and his reindeer found food at our house.

My 1/2 Day In Kindergarten

noreply@blogger.com (Ray Bosley) — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:35:00 +0000

Pictures from the Kindergarten Christmas Party at Houghton Elementary. Mrs. Gillis had an extra helper today and he's going to keep his day job. After just three hours, I was spent.

The day started with Santa visiting the children for breakfast. We read some books, played games, ate some good food, went to gym (break time for the helper), opened stockings, and had recess.

Afterwards, this helper had a nap. There is not a better way to spend the Friday before Christmas than with a class of Kindergarten children.
