In the Beginning......

Why a Blog???? And why Oak Leaves????

First the Blog: For some time I have been wanting to have a place to share the everyday miracles I see and photograph here in the beautiful Apostle Island Country on Lake Superior. My camera is my third eye. Each day (and night) offers new wonders. And equally (perhaps as age dictates) I want to record some of the memories and bits of trivia as well as wisdom from my life and the lives of my family and friends. If these spark some memories for you , please feel free to share them.

Oak Leaves? I live in a canopy of oak and maple and aspen crowns but it is the oak that draws me. A sacred tree, beloved of the gods. The Green Man grins at me from under his wreath of leaves and acorns. And so I put them in my hair to journey thru the magic of the present and the drift of memories past.
