My Strawberry Moon


The night of the "strawberry moon" I got this shot of the sunset setting the clouds below the moon on fire.  Actually we haven't  seen much of the moon or blue sky for that matter.  Its been raining off and on all month.  I got this picture of the rain headed toward us from across the lake.  We don't remember being in this much rain before up here in the past.  We get rain coming up from the Dakotas as well as coming down from the northwest out of Canada.  It doesn't seem fair to get it from two different directions.  Needless to say we haven't gotten in much fishing.

The EPA paid the resort a visit.  Up on the cliffside where we are parked the owner was clearing trees, etc. to make room for more campground.  Well its a bluff overlooking the lake on the border of a national park so the EPA got very excited about the storm water runoff from the cleared area.  They made the owner stabilize the whole area by planting grass and putting more barriers down to try to stop the water runoff.  It didn't really stop the runoff because it rained so hard the other day that it was like a waterfall with rapids running down the cliffside from all directions.    Of course one cabin owner at the bottom isn't happy with water collecting in his garage.
