Fort Wilkins–Lake Fanny Hooe

Fishing Fanny Hooe, photo copyright Kim Nixon

August 14, 2008 before sunset Mike and I headed out with cameras. Camp was set-up and Mike the Younger and Beth had also arrived. I had been itching to pick-up my camera but after a long drive and night approaching I felt I must get camp situated for our four day trip. Fanny Hooe was still and the reflections beautiful. This was a hush, solitude, serene, the trees aglow looked like autumn in the tint of light.

I knew this trip was “deep” as I had much to sort in my mind. New directions in my work. New directions in self care. New directions in my idea of stability and what I want to portray to others. Balance would be a theme as throughout this trip; I would push to my limits and feel the contour of the land and my soul while balancing on fallen cedars, bouldering, and standing against the winds off Lake Superior.
