January 6th - Ice Tug FormationThe last week of the shipping season makes it challenging for the tug boats to keep the shipping lanes open in the Duluth Harbor. On this cold steamy January day, the tugs make their way back into the port after escorting a laker onto Lake Superior for its last trip across the freezing lake for the season. I have always admired the hardiness of these mariners and appreciate their ability to work in extreme conditions.Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6God crafted these days for His pleasure and for us to enjoy one day at a time. January's crisp cold air is a refreshing taste of winter and a reminder to be thankful for the beauty in the extremes.

November 16 - Pastel Morning A freighter waits at anchor for its turn to load grain in Duluth.Framed by the Aerial Bridge, the large boat has purposely moved into position for a perfect photo opportunity.The still waters of Lake Superior reflect the sky's transformation, creating a breathtaking scene. It's a moment of tranquility before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. Psalm 36:9
Summer sunrises over Lake Superior come in the early hours of 5AM. A trip to the usually cool lakeshore to take in a "Superior Sunrise", makes the loss of sleep, a small price to pay, for the beauty to behold.
