Unfortunately it was pretty cloudy the day we went, but it was still beautiful. There was such a range of vegetation there. I would recommend if you ever visit the upper peninsula.

Seney National Wildlife Refuge - Part 1 - 1080p
Established in 1935 by President Roosevelt after logging and failed farming during the late 1800s & early 1900s. Constructed mainly by the Civilian Conservation Corps, it is said to have seen an entire generation through the great depression in our Upper Peninsula.
We seem to have missed the glut of migration by a couple of weeks but there were still plenty of wildlife residents to greet us. A cool, crisp wind was blowing south from Lake Superior at this my favorite time of year.
The quiet was so very precious to me after a noisy summer in the city. It had been too many years since we last came this far north.
I wasn't even aware we had Trumpeter Swans in Michigan. What a pleasant surprise to see so many pair here.

Gloves and the umbrella came in handy but couldn't have asked for a better day in this my favorite season.
The Eagles and the sunset just put icing on the cake.
Thank you Lord for this spectacular day.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Kayaking in Seney National Wildlife Refuge on the Manistique River
My husband and I took a relaxing kayak trip down the Manistique River through the Seney National Wildlife Refuge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We had a glorious afternoon on the peaceful, rustic waters, enjoying the high water level and currents due to the recent rain storms. We would often just float down the river listening quietly to the sounds of the nature around us and watch to see if we could spot any wildlife along the river . We did spy a Doe sitting in the tall grasses by the shore, a hawk, a turtle sunning itself on a log, and a group of mallard ducks lined up on another log. We were watching out for larger wildlife too, like bears, but thankfully didn't see any. We realized when we reached the end boat landing why we probably didn't see much wildlife... a group of three canoes with children was approx. 20 minutes ahead of us waiting for their pick-up ride. It was such a wonderful day, I wanted to share it with everyone. I'm amazed how well the video came out, considering it came from my Canon Powershot A630 camera, and not a camcorder. I had the misfortune of losing one of my camera batteries while switching my SD cards, otherwise I would have had more video for sure to share. The music is With All My Heart (trad. melody arranged by Rob & Amber Whitlock)) from the CD Celtic Myst by Northwoods Press, Inc. Enjoy!
