Somebody Find Me a Subject to Shoot!

So today while our daughter adjusts to this year's new dorm room and our son is king of our vacated castle, we spent another day in our home on the road in Munising. We started the day with rain in the forecast, so we knew we better not dilly-dally if wanted to get in any hiking and photography today and decided to revisit the Marsh Trail to see if we could catch a beaver by surprise.

 But, alas, still no sign of beavers, so while Wayne went back to the truck I took a short detour down the Lakeshore Trail to see if there was anything going on down that way that I could take photos of...

Nothing going on down there, so I rejoined Wayne and instead of hopping back in the truck, we checked out the beach at Sand Point. The sky was threatening rain, but we took off our shoes and waded down toward the east channel to see what might be down that way.

It turns out there was something down that way! Just behind the Coast Guard station we found a boat wreck onshore, which made for a few interesting photos, even though better light would have been nice.

We stopped at Grand Island Ferry service to inquire about renting kayaks, but didn't reserve one yet because Wayne is having some back spasms today. The rain finally moved in for a little while and we watched about half an hour of "Mars Needs Moms" (boring), then most of "Paul" (also boring) and eventually we moved on to "Rango" which had much better animation and storyline. We took another long walk on the beach, and made it back to the RV in time for a truly beautiful sunset! We're here until Tuesday morning because we decided to leave a few days early to go to Potawatomi State Park in Door County to get some elusive cherry pie and a Door County fish boil.
