Gull-able: Five seagulls wait for a handout that doesn't come along Lake Superior

A gaggle of laughing teens (not pictured) tempt a gaggles of gulls with their lunch in Marquette, Michigan along the Lake Superior shore.
But it's illegal to feed the birds, so the teens did not toss their PB&J scraps to the gulls. Tourists who don't know the law, often feed the seagulls that are always looking for a easy meal - sometimes flying too close to cars and people for comfort. Don't forget that this Sunday, July 15, 2007 is Lake Superior Day. You can fly up to Marquette for a free, dramatic and unique classical concert to benefit Lake Superior protection projects. About 20 musicians and a dancer from around the Midwest have formed the Boreal Chamber Symphony just for the event that begins at 7 p.m. Sunday at Upfront & Company in Marquette. The orchestra's debut includes new music commissioned for the concert plus percussionists will use driftwood, sand, water and rocks from |

This is natural sound from the storm, followed by slow motion. Then some even slower motion and photos of lightening with natural sound of the thunder. Finally a brief hail storm dropped pea-sized ice about 7:15 a.m. It was the third hail storm in Marquette County since a six-day blizzard during the first week of April 2007 dumped 5 feet of snow across northern Michigan.

Inspiring Canadians: Boreal Chamber Symphony formed in U.S. for annual Lake Superior Day concerts to raise protection funds.
(Marquette, Michigan) - Canadian communities, musicians and environment groups are encouraged to start annual Lake Superior Day concerts by organizers of a symphony orchestra in northern Michigan created to protect North America's largest freshwater lake. The Boreal Chamber Symphony will make its debut July 15, 2007 on Lake Superior Day in Marquette, Michigan with a dramatic benefit concert. An American environment group is offering to "limited number of travel stipends" to qualified Canadian organizations who want to attend the U.S. concert to get ideas on starting a similar project on the north shore of Lake Superior.
