I have retired my Canon EOS Rebel XS to the closet as my backup camera as of March 5, 2009. I purchased the Canon EOS 50D as a major jump in camera and picture quality so stay tuned for more and better pictures. The above Duluth East/Elk River Section 7AA final was the first shots from the camera, in which I had just enough time to charge the battery in the DECC ticket lobby b4 the game.

February 14th:
Section 7AA Semi-Finals; Cloquet/Esko/Carlton (winner) vs Grand Rapids/Greenway, and Duluth vs Proctor/Hermantown/Marshall (winner). These are separate pages separated by the Cloquet and Duluth games.





February 17th:

Happy New Year, Looking Ahead to 2009!


I opened my website on June 10th of 2008, and each month got better and better. In June there were 220 unique visitors to my website, and in July 239. each month has been progressively better, breaking the 400 mark in October with 420 unique visitors, and in December, the final count for unique visitors to my website is 483!

This doesn't account for people who've visited multiple times....

While 2462 unique visitors isn't that many.. for a website that only started 6 months ago it's been a successful start and will keep getting bigger and better with more and more photos.

Just a few photos from the past few months, you can click a photo to view the page it is on:

New Duluth Photo Galleries


Added to Viewthroughmylens.net are three new galleries, specifically Duluth, Minnesota galleries.

The first is some pictures taken along Duluth's Lakewalk.

The second gallery is of the Harbor, as the Edward L. Ryerson ore/taconite hauler came into the Duluth Harbor. Notice the throngs of people who show up when the big boats come in, even on a weekday before 5 pm!

The third gallery is standard Duluth fare, the Aerial Lift Bridge gallery. I would suspect that 80% of the people who've been to Canal Park have taken at least one picture of the 'Lift Bridge.'

View Through My Lens Galleries


As I start to build my new Website I will post links to galleries I put up. Right now the following galleries are up:

Canadian Snowbirds in Duluth

Clouds. I enjoy cloud pictures because like snowflakes, none are ever alike and you never know what you'll see when you upload your photos.

Fishing and Fish. I love fishing, and this will probably grow to be the largest section over time.

I'm always taking pictures and bringing my camera along so you never know what might be the next photograph.

New Website UP!


I've created a partner website for my View Through My Lens blog... at http://www.viewthroughmylens.net. Someone grabbed up the .com 'viewthroughmylens' so I am stuck with the .net for now :) That's OK though, I needed a place to put photos and galleries and host for this blog. The website name was registered today and I haven't done any 'work' on it yet but I had to announce it.

The 10 Minute Fishing Trip


I was coming home from Wal-Mart and wanted to check out how an area of the St. Louis River that's been clogged with brush and trees turned out after the rains last week. I figured I couldn't even cast into the area before I got there because everything was pushed up against a culvert since winter.



There was just enough opening to see if maybe a Smallmouth might be hiding under the brush so I decided to cast...

Nope, no Smallmouth Bass were biting...But....



THIS guy was.. I only had about 10 feet of distance to cast to..and this Northern Pike hit as soon as the Rapala X-Rap hit the water, it came out of the water to get it.

This Pike trumps the May 24th Pike easily weighing twice what that one did for pretty much the same length in the 30+ inch range.

That was a huge improvement over 4 hours of shore fishing Saturday without catching anything because of all the recent rain.

No Fish, But A Doe


With the huge amount of rain we had, four PLUS inches... fishing was miserable today, the river was moving which is usually ok, but there was a huge amount of silt and sand that made the river really dirty.

While fishing I heard some noises behind me off in the woods. I turned around and this was behind me.





I was probably 300 feet from the doe and it turned and looked at me as seen in the picture but it never ran, it just kept on it's way, stopping to look around, eat, and keep going. While I didn't catch any fish, this was cool anyway :)

Don't forget, you can click the picture to see it larger.
