Winter Again

I touched the window screen in the bedroom with the camera and clicked a shot of local deer sharing our winter in the back yard. I don’t know how any survive winters like this. Many will not after another 18″ of heavy snow last night. Two storm systems clashing on top of us mixed withContinue reading “Winter Again”

Being an Expert

I’ve often thought of myself as one who fits the ancient category “Jack of all trades, master of none”. When my skills are sifted and labeled, most fall short of the “Expert” bin. I’m sure there are many reasons or excuses I could think of but it does not matter. For now I am satisfiedContinue reading “Being an Expert”

Sitting Out 2014

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”

Stumbled Upon Outdoor Truths

I realized yesterday that I have spent over a year of my life leading trips in remote wilderness settings. Three years have been logged taking people fishing from boats, banks, and canoes. 12,614,400 seconds of ones life doing these kind of things (rough calculations here) has led me to discover some profound truths Fishing isContinue reading “Stumbled Upon Outdoor Truths”

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Wanderings

The wilderness calls often. I answer yes when I can. I send out an invitation e-mail to friends, family, and others who can one man carry a canoe and a pack over rough trail. I get e-mails back like “Yes, but when and where are we going? Can I catch a fish this time orContinue reading “Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Wanderings”

Trouble with the “Red Thread”

I am an avid outdoors-man. I write songs and play a mean keyboard. Cliff diving is a great rush as well as skiing the mountains. I have enough woodworking equipment to start my own business. Photography, yes lets talk about the hard to get shots in the rain or -20 winter temps in theContinue reading “Trouble with the “Red Thread””

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”

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”

Black Powder Hunting in Narnia

I just stepped in the door from an exciting afternoon adventure. I’m still hunting for our winters table fare with a black powder rifle. I think I was in Narnia, somehow, maybe. I even brought the camera. I held the gun ready after a ruffled grouse sailed straight at me and set down in frontContinue reading “Black Powder Hunting in Narnia”

A Fish Story…With Pictures

The world is full of people like me. We keep the economy going. My part is the fishing economy. Yesterday is as good an example as any but there is a common thread that bothers me a bit in my real life stories. Nuts to the economy, I just want to have an adventure justContinue reading “A Fish Story…With Pictures”
