  • A golden view of Lake Superior along Minnesota's North Shore. This shot was taken at The Naniboujou Lodge and Restaurant.<br />
<br />
Naniboujou Lodge was first conceived in the 1920's as an ultra exclusive private club. Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey and Ring Lardner were among its charter members. A membership of 1000 was originally sought, but when the stock market crashed on "Black Friday" precipitating the 1929 depression, the club began to fail. In the mid 1930's the club reached a state of financial shambles. The mortgage was foreclosed, and it was sold. <br />
Throughout the succeeding years the Lodge has been owned and operated by various corporations or private individuals and families. Today you will find an exciting revitalized Naniboujou. Still reflecting the aura of the 20's, Naniboujou is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The Lodge boasts Minnesota's largest native rock fireplace, a 200 ton work of art which stands in the 30 x 80 foot Great Hall (now the dining room)

  • Beneath a brooding sky, where the tempest's hum whispered tales of ancient times, stood the Sovereigns of the Storm. The first, a queen, robed in a gown of vibrant reds that flowed like the blood of the earth, her gaze piercing through the very fabric of reality.

  • Once the site of a silica sand quarry, Klondike Park is a glowing example of nature's resiliency. Located just off the Katy Trail, the 250-acre park is a popular destination for outdoor recreationalists, families, and youth activity groups. Natural and paved trails wind through tree-lined hillsides to offer a challenging ride or hike and spectacular views of wildlife, native plants, and the surrounding Missouri River Valley.

<br />
According to early records, the land upon which Klondike Park sits was originally owned by Wilhelm (William) Engelage, a farmer from Prussia. In 1898, the Tavern Rock Sand Company bought a portion of the property and began Klondike Quarry. The silica sand mined from this quarry was mixed with soda and limestone to create glass products. The top layer (from 8? to 18? was used to make amber glass because of its yellow, claystained color, while clear glass was made from the white sand found below 18 feet. Production reached its peak in 1945 when 233,420 tons of sand were exported from the quarry to meet war demands. The quarry was permanently closed in 1983.

  • In the realm where the sea meets the sky, a land forgotten by time, there stood a lone knight, Sir Aelwyn, gazing into the tempest's heart. His cape, woven with threads of magic, fluttered wildly, a tapestry of his many deeds, gleaming with a life of its own amid the chaotic dance of lightning.<br />
<br />
Beside him perched a creature of legend, a young dragon named Ember, its scales a reflection of the storm's fire. Ember was the last of the sky-born drakes, seeking refuge in the shadow of the knight's valor. Together, they watched the world's anger unfold, an orchestra of thunder and fierce winds, a testament to the might of the untamed elements.<br />
<br />
Ember, still young and learning the ways of the dragonkind, found solace in Aelwyn's silent strength. The knight had found the dragon when it was but an egg, on a quest that had led him to the very edge of the known map. They had since been inseparable, a duo that spoke in silent understanding, their bond stronger than the mightiest armor.<br />
<br />
This night, a sinister force had awakened within the storm, a dark magic that threatened to engulf the land in its sorrow. Sir Aelwyn had come to confront this darkness, his sword ready, his resolve unbreakable. The air buzzed with energy, a prelude to the battle to come.<br />
<br />
Ember, with its innate magic, could sense the turmoil, its infantile flames flickering in response. The dragon's destiny was intertwined with the knight's, their fates sealed by the same arcane forces that now stirred the sea into frenzy.<br />
<br />
As the storm reached its zenith, Aelwyn raised his sword, a beacon amidst the shadows, and with Ember by his side, leapt into the heart of the tempest. The battle would be fierce, but within the courage of the knight and the spirit of the dragon, lay the power to restore balance. Tonight, they were not merely guardians of the shore, but of the very fabric that held their world together.

  • As the man and the boy arrived at the Mississippi River in Missouri, the boy's eyes went wide with excitement. He had always dreamed of going fishing with his grandpa, and today, it was finally going to happen. With the bright afternoon light and puffy clouds overhead, the duo set out to find the perfect spot near the edge of the lake.<br />
<br />
As they cast their lines into the water, the man shared stories of his own childhood spent fishing along this same riverbank.

  • In the vast canvas of the ocean, where the sun’s rays seldom touch the mysterious blue, there swam an orca unlike any other. Named Aria by the sea nymphs, she carried the essence of the ocean’s depth within her soul. Her skin was a tapestry of the sea itself, adorned with swirling patterns that danced with the currents. Aria was the ocean's artist, her fins painting streaks of frothy waves on the surface as she leaped.<br />
<br />
Each pattern on her was a story, a memory of the sea's ancient tales. The dark swirls spoke of stormy nights, while the lighter whorls sang of calm seas and starlit skies. Aria’s beauty was not just in her appearance but in her spirit, embodying the ocean's untamed freedom.<br />
<br />
One moonlit night, a young painter named Lira witnessed Aria’s majestic leap. Enchanted, she spent her nights by the shore, capturing Aria’s essence on her canvas, her brushes creating something never seen before—an orca, but also the sea itself. The painting became a portal, a glimpse into the heart of the ocean, a place where humans seldom tread.<br />
<br />
Aria, curious about the human who watched her, ventured closer to the shore, until one night, their worlds collided. Lira touched the water, and Aria brushed the air. In that moment, a new color bloomed on Aria's skin, a hue of connection, the warmth of understanding between species.<br />
<br />
Lira’s painting, titled "Whorls of the Deep," traveled far and wide, bringing the story of the ocean’s artist to the hearts of many, reminding them of the wonders hidden in the depths, and the threads of kinship that connect all living beings. Aria, the ornate orca, continued to weave her underwater symphony, a living piece of art in the eternal gallery of the sea.

  • Under the silver glow of a full moon, the ethereal boundary between realms thinned, allowing two vastly different beings to cross paths on the pebbled shore of an ancient sea. Elara, cloaked in a gown spun from the finest moonlight and lace, her head adorned with roses that had bloomed from starlight, stood face to face with an ancient creature from a world forgotten by time.<br />
<br />
He was a being of legend, a beast with wise, deep-set eyes that spoke of centuries passed. His horns twisted towards the heavens, and his robes were a tapestry of history, rich with the embroidery of a thousand tales woven by the hands of fate.<br />
<br />
They met at the shoreline where the water kissed the land, in a moment as fleeting as the night itself. The creature, known as Thorne, had traversed the veil of worlds on this special night when the moon was most sympathetic to the whispers of old magic. He sought the counsel of the human maiden whose purity of heart was said to hold the power to grant a single wish to those who truly deserved it.<br />
<br />
In the silent language of the universe, Thorne presented his plea. His gnarled hand, an intricate map of his long life, held a single, withering rose—an echo of his dwindling time. Elara, with a gentle touch that belied her hidden strength, took the rose and understood the unspoken bond they now shared.<br />
<br />
With a nod, she granted Thorne's wish, not with a spell or a potion, but with a simple act of compassion. The rose in her hand bloomed anew, a symbol of the time he had left. As the first light of dawn threatened the horizon, they parted ways—a temptress of light and a creature of stories, their paths intertwined for a brief moment under the watchful eye of the moon.<br />
<br />
In the world beyond, legends whispered of the night when the maiden of the moonlight met the ancient one, and how the sands of time were granted a reprieve by the power of a pure wish.

  • A Wood Duck Hen Preens Along The Shore of the Lake.<br />
<br />
Wood ducks pair up in late winter and they begin breeding in early spring. The males attract females with their call and attractive, colorful breeding plumage. <br />
<br />
Female wood ducks have grayish-brown bodies. The back is dark gray-brown and the sides are a lighter shade. The most noticeable characteristics of the females are found on the head. The head is gray with a white eye-ring around each eye. The head also has a crest of feathers at the back and white feathers on the throat and chin. <br />
<br />
Wood ducks will 'tip up' and dip their heads under the water to find the standard wetland fare to eat like wild rice, smartweed, pondweed, bulrush, and lotus seeds, but they love to eat "out," of the water that is. They love fruits and nuts found in the woods like beechnuts, wild acorns grapes, and one of their favorites, acorns.
