    I grew up at Kabetogama Lake which became part of the Voyaguers National Park water park in northern Minnesota. You just made me feel a little home sick, we share a similar beauty.

    I love the nature parks in Texas. My favorites were places where I could view the rare whooping cranes by boat (Aransas National Wildlife Refuge for one). Kayaks are especially great for viewing the rookeries that would otherwise be off limits. I love seeing and photographing the baby shorebirds.
