Visited the Elm Creek Falls in Maple Grove this morning. The Elm Creek Falls are in the Maple Grove Arboretum located here.
Looking over the falls.
Swirling Water
There are some branches hanging over the falls.

The swirling water and smooth water effect was created by using a B + W 77mm #110 3.0 (1000x) Neutral Density Glass Filter
Got the urge to take my family’s first digital camera out today. It is a Kodak DC260 with 1.5 mega-pixels from 1998. Not many manual settings exist on the thing, and it often makes people’s skin yellow, but the camera can take pleasing pictures.
Click the pictures to be brought to a larger image if interested.
I had to push back my overnight camping trip to Lake Maria State Park till tomorrow due to unexpected rain today. Cross your fingers for me that tomorrow’s weather is nicer.
My first campout of the year was a trip up to the Border Route Trail in northern Minnesota. I went with Ed and Scott and we talked to Steve the forestry ranger about the tree harvesting which covered the trail, did tread work to define a trail up a small hill, and finally scouted out a half mile trail connecting a portage and another trail.
This hill used to be just a slope with long grass growing on it, and hikers had to just pick a place to walk through it. Now there is clearly a trail.
