Blue Moon through the Duluth North Pier Lighthouse!
Tonight's moon is called a blue moon because it is the second full moon occurring in one month — the first was on July 2. The occurrence happens about every 30 months, or so.
It's always a delight to stand on the shoreline and photograph a full moon rise over Lake Superior, especially when my wife of 40+ years is along with.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained.......Psalms 8:3

Leif Erickson Park's Rose Garden Tour 07/23/2015
This morning I let Buzz go for a flight over the Duluth Rose Garden.
With more then 3000 rose bushes representing more than 100 varieties, the Rose Garden sits atop the I-35 Freeway and is an especially enchanting place to visit in the late summer months when the roses are in full bloom and the fragrance acts like an instant tranquilizer.
Don't forget to go "Full Screen"on the video.

Boat Alerts now on Twitter
So, I am now going to start sending out boat alerts using a Twitter account that I just created called duluthharborcam. (the old method got too expensive)
If you want to get the Boat Alerts, just follow duluthharborcam on twitter. The alerts will still only be when I see them coming.
I may recruit a few avid boat watchers to help me out on this by sending Boat Alert Tweets out as well.

Indiana Harbor arrived Duluth 7/10/2015 (Canal Mob)
While boat watchers are generally quiet and peaceful folks, they do tend to get riled up when boats such as the 1000 ft Indiana Harbor instigate shouting and applause by shining spotlights and blowing horns in the dark of night.
