One of our favorite spots to just – take a look - . It’s a great place to wait for inspiration, or just to give our minds a rest from scrolling or whatever is troubling our day…. Hope it works for you, too!

Twisted sumac frame
Streaming swirling spirit dance
Across Shiloh's lake

I think he knows it is not his lake, but it is just a few steps from Shiloh's rock...

Me: let's try to get that shot of the moon, the tree, the clouds...
Shiloh: seriously, it's really cold! There's snow. We are leaving now. (Tugs vigorously!)

Setting over waves
Wind whipping snow washing rock
Chasing the spirit

Wind above 20 mph, temp at -2 (F), but so worth the effort! Enjoy!

"He who splits his own wood is warmed twice."
Proverb attributed sometimes to Henry Ford, but may go back to a Philadelphia newspaper in 1808

I was splitting wood with a friend. I've split wood with my dad, my brother, and all my children.... there's always been something there for me.

Moon caught in a tree
Caught in yard of empty house

"Between the eyes and ears there lie, the sounds of color and the light of a sigh. And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe - but it's all around if we could but perceive. "
THE WORD, Moody Blues, 1968

Look at this incredibly handsome boy! And, yes, Shiloh has a set of black eyelashes and a set of white eyelashes. Just too adorable!

Long grasses swaying
Catching sunlight and spirit
Will their seeds find wind

Berries hanging on
Twisted sumac whisper snow
Wind and ice delight

My foolish heart thinks
I'm ready for another
Superior winter

Twin wind-bent birches
Sun seekers groan together
Leaning into each

Light shimmering and warming
Frost on the cattails

When color bursts out
Applaud and sing for herself
Choosing outrageous

Little spot of flowers, what are you thinking? Our high is supposed to be below freezing for at least 5 days!

Geese above the mist
Above the water dancing

Nothing haphazard
She collects and arranges
I'm captivated

The #lakeshore never fails to capture my spirit. I hope some of what I feel makes it across the miles and sreens ... and touches your spirit too.

Each #sunrise #sunset
Brings us peace for our spirit
Worthy of our gaze

Overlooking the sumacs by Shiloh's Rock...

I will never tire
Striving to glimpse her spirit
Beauty at the shore

Every day, each moment, she consents to be photographed. And I awkwardly try for a capture.
Taken with Shiloh at Shloh's rock. (Only we call it that...)

Shiloh the #rescue #dog on "Shiloh's Rock" (only Shiloh and me call it that) on the shore of #lake #superior.
He's wondering about my sanity, because he does not enjoy cold or snow.
