I had heard via the radio that a cruise ship had come into harbour that morning. Thus, went looking for it.

Farmed land beside the 'wild' land
Stag and hind - great camouflage
Deer crossing the stream

My Town......
For the third day in a row we have been pelted with severe weather.... Yesterday tornados touched down but didnt cause any damage, but hail and wind has caused lots of problems....
Just a few minutes ago it was pouring rain and when I looked out, the sky over the mountains was beautiful

Morning Sher - I will take 19-21 (if still available) and ask for shots of hoggers 'Wild places' - photos like my Moor and Africa shots ... I just love looking at pics of your huge spaces. Of course these wild spaces could be areas of garden/farm too...these at this time of the year wildflowers abound too...

Good morning all. Thanks laska for hosting and I am enjoying your topic. And so sorry to hear of your DIL....my heart goes out to you and the family.
Isanti (/ˈaɪsæntiː/ eye-SAN-tee) is a city in Isanti County, Minnesota. The population was 5,251 at the 2010 census. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.85 square miles (12.56 km2), of which 4.81 square miles (12.46 km2) is land and 0.04 square miles (0.10 km2) is water.
The name Isanti has its origin in Native American culture. Isanti County and the city of Isanti are named for a nation of Dakota (Sioux) Indians. They lived in the Mille Lacs Lake area and along the Rum River and are sometimes referred to as the Santees. Isanti is a derivative of that name.
Originally Isanti was located about three miles north of its present site. Referred to as Old Isanti the crossroads community was once a busy settlement which dates back to the 1860s. Old Isanti extended to about one-half mile south of the intersection of State Highway 65 and County Road 19. No trace of the settlement remains...
The old Isanti was first established in sections 29 and 32, with a post office beginning 1865 in the home of Peter Norelius, a store and a hotel built in 1866 by George Nesbitt, and gristmills, a church, and a school. The village was moved in 1899 to the present site to be along the Great Northern Railway; incorporated as a village February 27, 1901.
My husband and I moved to Isanti with our baby daughter in 1970. The population was 679 and by the year 2000 the population had grown to 2,324. It is now more than 5,200.
A few Main Street pictures from the archives of our lovely little community.....

Luckily it passed north of us, The St.Lawrence River and the mountains out back make for quite different weather situations because of the topography
