Cry of the Loon

July 15 - Cry of the Loon - Summer melody of every northern lake. Researchers have identified four distinct calls used by loons: tremolo, wail, yodel, and hoot. These calls are used for various situations and echo across the open water. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? Job 12:7-9 Loon calls - http://www.loon.org/voice-loon.php

Moonshine on Gooseberry Falls

Frozen waterfalls at Gooseberry Falls State Park look much different bathed in the moonlight of a January full moon. The evening's quiet is broken only by an occasional owl hoot and the muted bubbling of the Gooseberry river still moving under the ice and snow. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. Daniel 2:22 It is incredible what you see when you go for a walk outside under the light of a full moon.

Calm Before the Storm

July 25 - Calm Before the Storm - An approaching thunderstorm reflect the light of its lightning in the calm waters of Caribou Lake. Lightning is one of the most recurrent and common weather phenomena. Around the world, there are over 3,000,000 flashes every day around the planet and about 44 strikes every second. It is interesting to note how the God of the universe uses lightning and thunder to get our attention, just like the storms of life seem to capture our attention and turn our eyes to the Lord. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries. Psalm 135:7

Ellison Island Sunrise

Located near Split Rock Lighthouse, the sunrise over Ellison Island brings light to the landscape and the soul. While most people put down their cameras for the winter, it is one of the most beautiful photography seasons. The white landscape, silent forest, and colorful sunsets and sunrises break into your routines and slow you down to focus. Because the winter sun is so low on the horizon, sunlight must pass through more air, which means the light is more scattered and more colors appear. ------ And he shall be as the light of the morning when the sun rises, even a morning without clouds 2Sa 23:4
