    “The water was perfectly still, turning the lake into a mirror for the night sky above.

    The stars shimmered overhead just as brightly as they did in the water below, while the Milky Way stretched across both worlds at once. In the silence of the Northwoods, with barely a ripple on the lake, everything somehow felt more alive.” - Hayes Scriven

  3. Seriously, where was this song about 20 years ago? Sure coulda used it then relationship-wise. Or in that case, the complete disaster that was the second marriage. On another note, I’m kinda hopin that bobcat that diddly bopped across the yard yesterday evening does so again so I can get a picture of it in the sunshine.

    “This past weekend I took a drive into the Superior National Forest to scout a few locations for upcoming Milky Way photography trip. Along the way, it became very clear that the Northwoods is finally beginning to wake up from its winter slumber.
    This spring has felt especially beautiful up here. Quiet, slow, and full of life returning to the Northwoods.” - Hayes Scriven

  6. Oh, it’s just pretty out here this evening; nice sunset with a slightly different studio rendition of what I consider an 80s classic from Bryan Adams.

  13. Another day off that went too fast; the tuneage on deck at the moment is only about a year old but it is the humble opinion of this former radio program director and classic radio rock show host it’s destined for that particular genre and especially live renditions like this one.

  14. Even in the quietest moments; a little of my evening on deck tonight with a clear sky and the sounds of critters and loons. I’ve waited all winter for this and it’s right here in my backyard.

  20. A pretty sunset with a tune from a band that was considered for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame this year but apparently missed it by THAT much. Maybe next year.

  25. I’m literally moments away from ploppin my butt down in that chair on my deck a/k/a “My happy place.”

  26. An April Saturday mid-morning view from the deck doorway: another couple weeks and it’ll be well on the way to green. Kinda reminds me of a Johnny Nash tune.

  30. Current jam here on deck; it’s been too fuckin nice out here to be cooped up inside. Besides, I’m watching this little caterpillar move back and forth across the deck rail. Because … important shit, yanno?

    So I'm sailing for tomorrow My dreams are a dyin'
    And my love is an anchor tied to you
    Tied with a silver chain
    I have my ship and all her flags are a' flyin'
    She is all that I have left and music is her name

  32. Pre-meeting deck time; gotta enjoy as much of this sunshiny 50 degree stuff as possible before the next system blows in here in a few days that’ll drop temperatures as well a few inches of snow. Winter is not quite finished up here.

    Our so-called leaders speak
    With words they try to jail you
    They subjugate the meek
    But it's the rhetoric of failure
    We are

  40. It’s 47 degrees, carved out a spot on deck, poured some hot tea and put on some McCartney. I can think of worse ways to spend a Thursday evening. Jagger would sure love this late season snow.

  41. Yet another stunning sunset this evening on deck, the photo just not doing it justice as the sunlight is reflecting off leaves that have popped up on some of the smaller plants in a tree line.

    I know it seems like I'm a million miles away
    At times you feel like you don't even know me
    But in this world the pressure's building everyday
    And I need time to work things out - oh baby
    It's not that I don't love you - oh no
    It's just that I - I've got to have
    Room To Move
