Cascading Into Autumn

Recent rains had swollen the rivers and streams along the North Shore of Lake Superior to create magnificent scenes such as the upper Cascade River where this image was taken. The sound of the turbulent waters below combined with the autumn colors and sweet scent of the pines and fallen leaves to truly fill the senses with Gods created beauty.
As I was photographing the scene, several groups of people strolled by, cameras in hand, and everyone summed up the scene in one word, WOW!

I love photographing streams and waterfalls, because they remind me so much of God's love for us, endlessly flowing from heaven to keep us and shelter us.

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Rev 22:1

Lighthouse in the Mist

Cool September afternoons along the North Shore create unusual weather conditions when cold Canadian air pushes across the water of Lake Superior. In this picture a retreating fog bank drifts a mile off shore behind Split Rick Lighthouse.

There are many days along the shore of Lake Superior when the Lake creates it's own weather, fog banks come and go, wind picks up off the chilly waters and than ceases almost instantly.

When you have the privilege to observe this phenomenon you cannot help but stand in awe of the One who created such a magnificent work of art that touches all of your senses and calms your soul. God made this world so that we might know Him and His awesome power by experiencing the work of His hand in creation. Take some time today to enjoy creation and while your at it, enjoy the Master Artist.

Just Thinking

A cool fog clings the the rocky precipice of Palisade Head on the shores of Lake Superior near Silver Bay.
On this beautiful September afternoon, the damp air off Lake Superior mingled with the sweet scent of nearby cedar trees to compel one to take a deep breath and taste a bit of nature. Although the immensity of the lake was hidden in the fog, the sound of the waves, rolling onto the shoreline 150ft below, proclaimed the power of the lake.

As my wife Debby viewed the scenery through the veiled atmosphere, there was no doubt that God creates moments like this to show us some of the attributes of His greatness and our smallness. His glory and His love envelops us as surly as the fog of a Lake Superior afternoon.

Psa 94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
