Love the Brule entry photo. Have had some memorable trips start here. We went in here in 2012. The night before we stayed at Temperance River Park and hiked around. There was an abundance of neat photos that day. Here are 3.

Left for work on Wednesday just as the sun was rising over Prior Lake. All I had was my iPhone and it didn't do justice to this sunrise. The ice crystals in the -15 air were sparkling rainbow colors across the lake right up to the camera.

mocha..the building is the ruins of the spring house that was there in the 30's.it had a roof and was used by folks who camped there.back then it was out of town!!google cold water spring for all the history.
the National park Service now has created a national park along both sides of the Mississippi.the spring has a long history and after the buildings from the Geological Service were torn down the NPS is trying to restore the area.they planted 100's of oaks and native plants.
what i do is take a photo at the start and end of each month from the same place to show how things change i shoot from the hill side down to the pond to keep that power pole out of the shot.another fellow is doing the same thing at Minnehaha falls
the spring is just a walk from the house and we go down there quite a bit. here are a couple other photos to give you an idea.
so what will happen is someone at the NPS who knows a lot more about photo shop sort of stuff than me will edit and line up all the shots to get the exact same view and it will go onto a Power Point at the the Science Museum NPS display.

not really, other than me, the back of a live deers head, the fanny pack of some guy walking up to check it out and then a big white blank.
something came in before daylight and got one leg and moved the carcass about 2 feet.
now the carcass has been moved (by humans) out onto the lake in the hopes the wolves will come back and clean it up.
I've relocated the trail cam and already saw one flash, so something walking in the line of sight.
