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”

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””

More Snow: A Creative Response (I think)

Just when it was starting to show signs of spring. No global warming here this year. Last year at this time it was 70 degrees. This morning I plowed snow with the bumper to get to work and getting home was really wild. In northern Minnesota I have found that sometimes we have to thinkContinue reading “More Snow: A Creative Response (I think)”

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?”

The Dark Side of Light

I often contemplate concepts too big to fully grasp. Sitting in the dark while waiting for the light is a part of hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, and much of the outdoor world that I love. I memorized a verse (John 1:5 in the Bible) and have thought about the multiple meanings of darkness not being ableContinue reading “The Dark Side of Light”

Who needs an Anchor?

Deer I said to my wife as I looked out the window. “Yes” she said (I got out of that one by not saying “I wasn’t talking about you.”) Instead I said “look out the bay window”. The one fawn noticed as I clicked the camera and proceeded to watch until they disappeared into theContinue reading “Who needs an Anchor?”

I’m back and going forward

This will be a common scene on this lake as some of us will be pulling in walleye in 3 weeks at fishing camp in northern Minnesota.There is plenty of room by the way for more guys. I think there are guys coming from 5 states so far. So where have I been lately? LikeContinue reading “I’m back and going forward”

Wild Outdoor Adventures and Serious Fun

Nine of us embarked on a Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Trip a few days ago. Nine of us (thankfully) came back out a few days later. High winds, swamped canoes, physical ability questions and extremely rugged territory redefined our plans. It’s one thing to look at a map and plan your adventure; quite anotherContinue reading “Wild Outdoor Adventures and Serious Fun”

STA…StoryTellers Anonymous

I thought it was a great idea! I could start an outdoors club in our area under the guise of “Storytellers Anonymous”. Cretian Certain relatives and friends would pay us to go!!!It would probably be a great fund raiser for the next high school band trip! I can see it now; Johnny to old auntContinue reading “STA…StoryTellers Anonymous”

>Gary Fultz on…The Steak or the Sizzle? Picture truth #7

> I know the smell and sizzle carried half a mile because that’s how far away the teenagers were when they came running. All to be eaten with black beans, rice, fresh onion, peppers, hot sauce, with fresh fish in an avocado burrito shell. This is as close as I hope to get toContinue reading “>Gary Fultz on…The Steak or the Sizzle? Picture truth #7”
