A Good Morning From Northern Wisconsin
My morning reading, prayer and meditation time was interrupted when I looked out the window. My first thought as if a voice whispered in my ear… “you can share this with the world”. My second thought “I only have my sleep shorts on. 99 seconds later my camera was on a tripod and I wasContinue reading “A Good Morning From Northern Wisconsin”
Dress for success in 2019
This little guy is dressed for success; at least for cold weather activities. He outlasted his brothers in single digit wind chills. He scored a 10 in fun with Grandpa and dad 4 wheeling and riding behind in the sled with his mature adults doing donuts in the snow covered fields sometimes tipping the sled.Continue reading “Dress for success in 2019”
Baste for impressive Grilling…wherever
I’m an outdoor guy to give some context, and we eat well! this is what works for me.

Fishing is always good
Sometimes the catching is good as well. I am happy to represent truth in this statement. I have a natural bent for life on the water and in the woods. The more remote the better.

Wilderness Food Planning for the unorganized (like I should talk)
I was in the grocery store for a couple hours (seemed like) with a cart load of camping food and my cart disappeared. It was just gone. I found it two isles over being pushed by a very small elderly women with a friend pushing a similar cart. They were shopping together.

A Distracted Mind
I get distracted easily. Well I really don’t, but my mind wanders into every nook and cranny around. Once in awhile my mind goes off on an imaginary journey if I don’t keep it on a short leash. Focus Gary, focus! I began making too many mistakes at work so someone took it upon themContinue reading “A Distracted Mind”
Images: One Frosty Morning
Imagine for a moment that we have no ability to know or understand the concept of beauty. What the eye sees other than a field, trees, leaves, landscape, sunrise colors and frost on the bush is not attached to any compartment in our brain labeled “Beauty”. The emotion of a moment is never lost; it’sContinue reading “Images: One Frosty Morning”
