The Oregon Coast

   
   We have quite a country here. From coast to coast the beauty is unbelievable. Along the coast of Oregon, you don't have to look far for breathtaking scenery. And then if you can stay put for a while, it changes. The smooth beauty of morning can be replaced by crashing waves in just a few hours. For those of us who think Minnesota is best, we need to remember that rarely can we see over a mile. On the Pacific coast we see for many miles, many miles. The eyes that grew old in Minnesota have a hard time absorbing it all
   What a country we have. From sea to shining sea it's quite a place.

Men of Steel

 In my book "Brothers by Fire" we speak of the lives of the men who walk the high steel. Now there's a job that's exciting from start to finish, each day, every day. I've seen these men of steel walk six inch beams as if they were on a wide sidewalk.
   A man I knew was one of these brave workers. He built the big IDS building in Minnesota's Twin Cities. He had a few friends help him, but in my eyes, he did it all by himself.
   As the project neared completion, these brave men placed an American flag at the top floor. My friend was photographed standing on a wooden plank, flag in hand, millions of feet in the air. I can't think of a more dangerous place in the world.

Elk

In "Brothers by Fire" a chapter is devoted to an elk hunt in Colorado. Any time you can spend time in the Rocky Mountains, it will be memorable. Our main character takes a huge elk and the next morning finds their camp nearly covered by snow. They nearly lose their lives while trying to get off the mountain.
   This is an all too common situation in the mountains in the fall. Weather is completely unpredictable. What starts as a cloud free sky can change to a terrible blizzard in just a few minutes. The services of a good guide will make for a memorable hunt and ensure your safety. It's money well spent.
   "Brothers by Fire" is a story of two brothers separated at a young age. I take the reader on two life journeys across several continents. It's adventure reading on a grand scale. I hope you'll take a look.

For the Birds .....

  Here in Northern Minnesota, things run at a frantic pace during the summer months. Long before the snow has left the darkest parts of the woods, the buttercups are already in full bloom. There isn't much time to get everything done.    The deer have their young early in the year and by the time of the next snow, they can easily fend for themselves.
   Colors play a large part in Northern Minnesota. The birds that spend their summers here are sometimes unbelievably colorful. They have to arrive from the south, stake out courting areas, build nests, mate, lay eggs and fledge their young in a relatively short time. Before you know it, time has passed and they head south again to avoid our harsh winters.
   It's now getting towards the middle of June and the leaves on the maple trees are just getting their full size. In about three months they will change color and fall to the ground. Such a short life for something so beautiful.
   But for today, let's all get outside and fill up our senses with the sounds, smells and sights that will carry us through the next hard winter that could be in a little over four months.
