It was a perfect day. Off we went to take photos of the Dragon Boat Races at Barkers Island. My assistant photographer was my husband Rich who is new at this, but has a good eye for a photo. We drove to the Mariner Mall, boarded the shuttle bus there-no wait, and in minutes, we were dropped off right at the festival.
Barkers Island was packer with people and the colors were alive everywhere. The combination of the team's shirts, and the flags were intoxicating. It made you instantly feel alive and part of the excitement. We traveled down to the side that the people were gathered at and found the best place with out blocked vision was right in the water. We were by the kids and dogs, happily playing in the water to keep cool it was a hot day in Superior and the sky was perfect too.
We traveled around to take different views and learned new techniques with out cameras.
Met some relatives and enjoyed a great lunch from local vendors. Sat in the beer garden under the tent to keep cool for a while.
Then, local musician Shane Nelson played with his band on the stage and we got some good pics of them too.
I'm editing photos to post soon on my facebook called mysuperiormemories superior memories if you would like to see those pics and more of local Superior Photos, past and present. Just friend me and I will add you so you can see the pics.

Welcome to the "My Superior Memories" Blog. Take a peek inside the private studio of Janie Hoffer as she shares her latest art projects and plans with you. Her passion for creating original artwork, created from photos of local historical landmarks of Superior Wisconsin, which she loves,was passed down from her mother Ruth. Thanks mom for teaching me to color outside the lines.
