My 2014 thoughts have taken me by surprise as I am planning my year ahead after looking back. Should I keep fishing? Here’s a view when I dropped the camera down on the action. Should I keep making music? Am I wasting my time taking a week off every year to lead a group intoContinue reading “Sitting Out 2014”

Upstream Truth
The Mouth of the mighty Mississippi river. Where one can walk across the river without getting wet. It’s a hard truth to believe if you live where the river is a mile wide. To find the truth it’s a long ways upstream. So it is with many truths in life. From picking the right stocksContinue reading “Upstream Truth”
Tilt Your World
Antigua Guatemala. Riding in the back of a small pickup to a mountain village where we will build three small homes. Cobblestone streets built in the 1500’s make photography challenging while hoping to stay on board. Lean over and lose your face on another vehicle passing from either way and any direction. In the StatesContinue reading “Tilt Your World”
Building a Home for the Homeless
I just sent my final letter for a project my wife and I are doing. Put it on your bucket list if you are so inclined if you haven’t yet. It will be rewarding I believe In a couple of hours the 17 of us will take off on our journey to Guatemala. Thanks forContinue reading “Building a Home for the Homeless”
White Friday Reflections
Thanksgiving is over and looking out my window it’s a “White Friday”here in northern Minnesota USA. It’s a sad sight as a fisherman knowing ice is now forming on the lakes. The outside gauge reads 17 degrees. I’m not sure why I thought I could take the boat out one last time before winter. MeanwhileContinue reading “White Friday Reflections”
Day Before Snow
I stopped at the mail box on my way home from work to catch the sun going down. It was over-sized and red as the air was filled with the smell of smoke all day from wildfires 90 miles northwest of us. We were down-wind but grateful the fires would not reach much further beforeContinue reading “Day Before Snow”

Build Your House Where?
Vision. Buy a rock on a lake shared by Canada and the United States and build your house on it. Most of us would opt for a level foundation, an easy way to plumb to the well and septic system, and drive into the garage attached to the house. Winters here have reached -50 belowContinue reading “Build Your House Where?”
When Giants Fall
I’m convinced that when a husband and wife quit courting, their relationship starts to die. It’s not pretty. It’s dead. A dead root on a very live tree. The tree was growing on the side of a huge rock in our Boundary Waters Wilderness camp site when we made camp. This rock could have beenContinue reading “When Giants Fall”
Green Side Forever
We canoed through miles of fire burned wilderness lakes and rivers on trip #58. Except for the lake and lowland edges everything was black . What a relief to find the green side and all kinds of life. We had to stop and take some pictures, fish a little, and make camp. I really likeContinue reading “Green Side Forever”
