By Ted Grussing… spent some time today going through the images I captured a couple of weeks ago at the Confluence and enjoyed a series I shot with the Canon 6D + the 100mm macro lens on it … pretty awesome detail when you consider I was about two miles above the river(s). near the left side at about center you can see a couple of rafts on the Colorado River tied up at the shoreline.

Frequently we would go out to the Narrows at Lake Minnetonka and do some fishing and hope the fish didn’t bite (gotta clean them and eat them).
