Hanging around in Northern Minnesota

Diana and I are up in Ely, Minnesota, for Mom's funeral today. It was a good day, good service, great words said by all. So wonderful to see old friends and relatives and hear stories about folks no longer with us.
Couple of photos for you - we are staying out on Bear Island Lake about 10 miles out of Ely. It's quiet although not yet spring here - ice has just gone off the lake. Lots of different songbirds, plus bald eagles, merlins, and ducks. Loons are somewhere, not yet heard from. Spring peepers are out in force with a beautiful chorus to put us to sleep every night.
We're staying over until Sunday so tomorrow we plan on a very quiet day - probably do a canoe ride  on the lake later in the day dependent on weather.

Steps down from our place to the boat dock.

Folks create a sign if they want and post it!

Looking back up at the lodge from the boat docks.

Water graffiti - very nice.

Boat docks at 10pm - wonderful blueness up here.
