Your Bio

WELCOME to our Site!
Recently we purchased a Nikon D300 and started to take photos. We live in Northern Minnesota near Ely on a lake. Most of our photos are taken from our front yard or surrounding area. We enjoy the wildlife and beauty we see and wish to share it with you.
Enjoy! Dan and Darilyn
