This is about the heart beat of the great outdoors. Adventures of every kind await anyone who gets out there. I live amongst lakes,rivers, deer and bear country. What that means is growing a garden just feeds the animals and the grill is not safe on our screen porch from any number of bear that feel whats yours is mine.
The deeper into the wilderness one goes, the more there is a feeling of relating to nature and knowing how small and arrogant we are as a human race. There is a God and it’s not us. Nature consistently displays truths of the eternal Creator God who made it all. I hope to bring out some of those truths I have noticed in my wilderness and nature adventures. I hope to scratch the surface of eternal truths one might almost understand with a finite mind…enjoy
By the way, the header picture was taken from a river deep in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota. That day there were walleye running over our feet when we hit the shallow rapids areas. To date my next trip will be #66 this fall. I feel privileged and thankful for every time I am able to enjoy God’s creation. Every day new stories could be told and I will occasionally put one into print with a life lesson attached or a new perspective. Please feel free to make helpful comments and I will visit your blog as well when you make yourself known when you “Like” something.
Thanks for reading,
Gary

I love your About Page and the glory you bring to our God. ❤ Looking forward to following along on your adventures. Photography is a ministry that God was so kind to leave for us. It allows us to see some of the majestic things of God that we may otherwise never know of.
Praying for you! God loves you!

Thank you so much Gail
I totally agree that Photography gives us a unique perspective. God pushes us to share what he gives doesn’t He.
As you know…The whole world needs to know God loves us and wants our Love. Gaillovesgod is a great handle.

And you are very handy with a camera Lizzy. You would love the BWCA Wilderness. My stomping grounds for remote camping and great photo opportunities.

My husband and I have a small sign, it says, “In the woods we return to reason and faith.” Anytime we get the chance to breathe out in creation, we take it. Minnesota looks beautiful =)

A great sign Jennifer. I’m usually in the woods or on one of the many lakes nearby daily. It’s almost a lost world in our day, even to those who live in it. Your books look very intriguing.
