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”

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”
Meandering Through Autumn
To meander is anticultural. Think about being in the grocery store or on the freeway. These people grate on society. Bill yourself as a “meandering comedian” and you will be hustled off stage by a “handler.” Stop to take pictures of a flower on a state park walking trail and you will soon hear “outContinue reading “Meandering Through Autumn”
SEASONED
Wilderness canoe expedition #70 for me. The visible part of me made it back to civilization. Reflections from one’s memories shimmer and dissipate quickly unless held onto by my minds pondering hands. I still see the first light stealthily through the thick fog. I replay the invisible swan honks, haunting loons, beaver slaps, eagles chirping,Continue reading “SEASONED”
Oh Summer…Where Art Thou?
Our household missed it. From April to mid-August, we missed way too much summer. Somewhere between medical emergencies, a life flight, month long hospital stays and indoor home rehab schedule, summers almost gone. In our case, my wife and I are caregivers to a physically handicapped daughter with a very bright mind. So, what’s yourContinue reading “Oh Summer…Where Art Thou?”
Among Us
I had seen her shuffling along the hospital hallways, humming to herself and arranging things in her cart. It’s not often one sees a great grandmother, all 5′ 2″, dressed in blue scrubs. No one seemed to pay her any attention at her half speed. It appeared mutual as she was lost in her ownContinue reading “Among Us”
Slowfoot Connections
Many blogs ago, I wrote about a rarely visited wilderness lake in the BWCA Wilderness of northern Minnesota. My short blog with a couple pictures was found by a podcast pro. I was excited to relive the journey through his “escape with Jay” podcast. I am excited to share this connection. Click on my oldContinue reading “Slowfoot Connections”
Looking To See
It’s finally spring here in Northern Minnesota, as of this week. The budded trees finally gave way to leaves bursting out. One day the trees have only buds, and the next day there are leaves. While the fourth rain of the month was coming down, the brown grass was suddenly green. All kinds of songbirdsContinue reading “Looking To See”
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”
