Wisps

Standing on newly frozen lake shore watching the ice reflection the sunset…thinking about wisps of heaven

Winter Spring Summer

We have had Winter spring and summer all in 30 days

Most of our snow is melted. Lakes are still frozen. The apple, birch and maple buds are bulging. Maple trees are starting to be tapped for the second time. It’s spring on the Calendar. Winter will still say “not so fast bucko” and storm away a couple more snowfalls (weather app proves me right…yep don’tContinue reading “Seasonal War”

Appearances

Looks cold. Looks windy. It was. I opened both house doors to get outside and hung on. Our little dog Buddy whined and then said in perfect dog English “can I just use your bathroom?” We walked sideways for two miles down the 300-yard-long drive to the mailbox. Well, I walked while Buddy did oneContinue reading “Appearances”

Expression

My thoughts through a camera lens as family opened gifts. A creation word. Expression. Facial art in a smile, frown or other muscle configuration. Frost, snow, rain, rays of sun on landscapes and filtering through grasses or dense forests. Genesis. “In the beginning God created” it all. Wow…our kids express this…Love, Joy, Peace and sometimesContinue reading “Expression”

When Life Is Cold

How much am I really living now?? Maybe that’s not even a good question. How warm areContinue reading “When Life Is Cold”

Looking Down to See Up

Today was one of our worst winter days for Northern Minnesota (My opinion). The weather turned warm (40 (f) and rained. Winters wet and gray day made snow melt and hardpack turned icy. The beauty of frosted leaves and white snow puddled everywhere. Accepting the challenge of some adventure, I grabbed the camera, put itContinue reading “Looking Down to See Up”

Winter Wonder Wander

Mesmerized, I watch the millions of snowflakes fall. I hurry as they will soon cover the frost covered, well everything outside. It’s impossible to protect the camera as the wind is swirling. It is barely above zero on the Fahrenheit scale. My numb fingers change out the batteries. The snow lets up as I getContinue reading “Winter Wonder Wander”

It’s Picnic Season

Spring is not officially recognized in our family until we can have an picnic. I guess it was up to me to find the fire pit, check and make sure fires wouldn’t spread and burn down the forest and make the picnic table presentable. My pictures prove it. Spring has come to northern Minnesota!! MyContinue reading “It’s Picnic Season”

Navigating Winds Seasons

Clattering branches snows lost in thought shifting blame winds of the soul I’m waiting for Spring. Wanting another season. Nature says not yet. Gary But you, O Lord, know me; you see me, and test my heart toward you. Jeremiah 12:3a, ESV
