This is one of those places where I’ve looked time and time again and it seems, no matter the time or the season, the views is never the same. It’s also one of my favorite places to look, like when I look out over our lake up in northern Minnesota, as both have great memories.

This is one of those pictures I took just because of the rocks. Be it little rocks I’ve collected along the beaches or rivers or the bigger ones that help to show us the way to those lakes or river, to me, rocks always lead the way.

So I was reading an old edition of a newspaper called the Great Northern News from last year when I came across an article on the National Loon Center. Loons of course take me back to our family cabin and there’s nothing more enjoyable than waking up to the sound of loons on the lake in the morning.

With the quiet time I had today even with working from home, I felt like I had lots of time to reflect. Looking at this picture again, I love how the clouds sort of frame out the trees. Already, I can’t wait to go back.

On one of our last days up north, we headed over to Duluth and while I didn’t take a ton of pictures, we’re already planning to spend the day up there next year instead of just a couple of hours. This is one of my favorites.

Just sitting here going through my pictures tonight when I came across this one, similar to the ones I posted the other night in Light as a feather, dark as coal. This one is a seed floating on our lake by the cabin.

For the last few years now, the kids and I or at least two of my kids and I, have taken a day trip from our cabin up to Duluth, Minnesota where we get a chance to check out lake Michigan. So coming across this article entitled “Are the Great Lakes Really Inland Seas?” by Gemma Tarlachapril over at Atlas Obscura has been an interesting read to say the least.

So in keeping with the spirit of Christmas, here’s another tree that sits along our lake up in Minnesota. It’s also one that I feel like has been there a long time, sort of like my family. Maybe we haven’t been there quite as long but still.

So this was a pretty easy topic to pick today, what with our family vacation just around the corner. I was also checking out my new telephoto lens tonight, so I’m hoping I’ll get some even more amazing shots of sunsets. That said, every sunset up there is amazing and I just can’t wait to get going.
I’ve really started thinking about it today as my oldest son worked his last day yesterday and even though I still have two more days, at least I’m getting off a little early on Friday so I can pick up the rental car. The plan is to pack the car that night and so we can just get up on Saturday and take off. I’m ready.

This is another picture I took several years ago while on a family vacation in northern Minnesota but instead of the usual sunset, it’s a picture of some water lilies on our lake. A very simple picture to say the least but sometimes simple is the best. Probably unlike a lot of the times we’ve spent up there but a lot like the best times we’ve spent up there. A good meal, good conversation and just the beauty of the lake.
