Namakan

Namakan means sturgeon, and that is a stodgy name for one of the most beautiful places on this blue and green ball we call Earth.

God made a little bit of perfection here on the border between Canada and Minnesota.

Lots of history: a dam built, a paper/timber industry spawned, Voyageurs created.

The skies of the north do tint the water a most reflective lightness. The rocks and white pine give an edge to the beauty, perfectly complimentary to the expanse.

Clear cold water filled with walleye and bass. Bald eagles swoop in for a visit. Really. Gulls chat on rocks, but their population is limited. (Must be the wolves and bear!)

Sky changes, lush green, changing water, beautiful expanse.

I wish I could describe it.

It's nice that two countries can share such a place.

Such beauty should be shared!

Thank the Lord for His ingenious artistry.

Ed and I had a marvelous time on the Scout trip to Voyageurs National Park.

Tomorrow my dear ones will all be home, Lord willing.
