Quiet.
Reflective.
Nature’s beauty.

A photo looking out onto a calm lake from a canoe. The paddle lays across the front of the canoe pointing toward the shoreline which is lined with various species of conifers. They reflect in the calm waters of the lake. The sky has large puffy white and grey clouds which are also reflecting in the water.

On the edge of the meadow
🍂🌻

The photo is a combination of long blades of green grasses, red and yellow turning foliage and wildflower seed pods with a little blurry background visible through the foliage.

Me too. And apparently, no one is calling and on him. Just show the orange demented buffoon live stream footage of Chicago and LA and Portland. Not that he would believe it.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t take as long as the French Revolution. That was a doozy, and I’m not sure we got that amount of time.

Great question, Jean. I don’t know the answer but the three lakes connected by portages in this little area of the BWCA are Smoke, Flame and Burnt. Maybe it was just a ‘theme’ when they finally got around to naming them.

Enjoy the sunset folks. Don’t get too deranged thinking about the shitstorm to come. Adios.

A photo is a sunset of orange and such. Green grass and bushes and trees are in the foreground. A tall, lone, aspen dominates the center of the photo.
