BWCAW canoe trip to Lake One near Ely, MN

Hubby and I returned last week from a wonderful canoe trip into Lake One

(entry point#30) near Ely in the great arrowhead of Minnesota.

 We found a great campsite near the portage to Confusion Lake.

We were outfitted by Riverpoint Resort Outfitters and Co.  www.riverpointresort.com  

We found some no-see-ums (overgrown gnats that bite like heck!) but I survived the attack.

This is Minnesota photography opportunities at it's finest!!! 

I shot some images hopefully to add to www.ellenempson.com fine art....still looking at them and processing.

 Here is one looking SSW from our lovely campsite! I shot this early just after the sun peeked up...about 6AM.

The Cabin!!!!

Happy June 1st!  Hope all of you had a good Memorial day weekend.  We stayed at an amazing place;

                                                         www.Minnesota-lodge.com         Good friends of ours own this

real bonfide late 1890's log cabin near Deerwood, Mn.  This cabin is located on many, many acres of gentle forest, with

over 2000 feet of shoreline.   We experienced loons, ducks, geese, orioles, woodpeckers, bluejays, hummingbirds, deer,

black squirrels, yellow finches...to name many. Not to mention beautiful knoll sides of Forget me nots and Trillium.    

                                                        This is an amazing place.

                                   It takes you back.   It is homey, simple, quiet, no frills

but as comfortable as your own bed.  This is Minnesota photography opportunity at it's finest offerings!  I had a blast.

        I certainly will be offering some images soon at www.ellenempson.com of this beautiful visit!
