Above the North shore. 

In the Spring, on the Mott loop, a pink flower. And in about six months they should start popping up again. 

Almost to the east end of Mott.

When the researchers get permission to trap wolves on the island, the effort that they go through to make sure that the trapped wolf is not hurt is large. This is a picture of a picture of a trap set. The scat on the piece of birch bark is placed there as a lure. (wolves don't like interlopers in their area and can use their scat to mark their territory)

A long ago first RIII of the season, with Thor leaning on the dock beacon.

A little pond / creek on the Mott loop. 

A October storm. Those that know that rock in the distance, have some idea of how large those waves really were. Cameras never seem to be able to show the actual size of waves.   When you watch this, click on the gear and set the video for HD.

Parking a boat can get interesting in the Spring.

From before I had a digital camera. Heading towards the island for opening. After flying over Passage island, with Merritt lane still iced over. 

Summertime toad.  

From many years ago, a little October snow on Mott. Supposed to get some here in Kingsford this afternoon / evening.

Bangsund cabin flower box. 

One of the boardwalks to the tower in the Spring. 

Loons with chicks. 

Looking WSW towards the end of Tobin Harbor. 

Springtime on the Mott loop.

Some purple flowers in Tonkin Bay. 

Springtime and the  skunk cabbage is  waking up. 

Edisen Fishery all buttoned up for winter. 

Fishermans Home. 

Pretty sure that those are the Washington and Johns islands. This was the  middle of January 2010 and we were headed to Windigo for the first week of winter study. 

Amygdaloid's getting gas. 

Summer at Lake Richie and one of its many dragonfly's. 

On the trail out of  McCargoe Cove, at one time there was a beaver pond here, then the dam went. 

Afternoon on the Mott loop.
