A photo of a sunset across a lake. In the foreground is a large boulder upon which some leaves have fallen and some moss and lichen are growing. This gives way to types of conifers and low brush leading to blue water. An island is beyond this and then the far shoreline, lined with trees with leaves and needles of green. The sky in the distance has clouds reflecting a brilliant orange.

Sunset at Burnt Lake. Timeline cleanse.

In times of duress,
Recall the things you hold dear,
Serenity now!

A photo from our campsite on Burnt Lake in the BWCA. A line of silhouetted trees line a peninsula jutting out into the lake. The sky is bright yellow behind the trees, moving toward shades of orange into a near cloudless sky of blue. It’s early morning. A gentle breeze causes some small activity on the previously calm water.

We are connected,
Entwined in Nature’s beauty,
Beyond resilient.

With a U.S. Senate vote looming on copper-nickel mining, this northern Minnesota town hangs in the balance Ely remains divided between those who want mining and those who don’t believe it’s worth the risk to the Boundary Waters.

Boundary Waters mining ban vote: What to know Efforts overturn the ban in Superior National Forest may come to fruition in late February. A rollback could send a lifeline to the Twin Metals proposal in northern Minnesota.

Tell Lawmakers to Protect the Boundary Waters from Mining Protect the Boundary Waters. Tell Congress that America's most visited wilderness is not the place for copper mining.

Hey #Minnesota, I know you're busy what with ICE and blizzards and everything, but the US Senate is a simple majority vote away from stripping the #BWCA of all protections and handing it over to international mining companies.

Let's Not Pollute This Place
The title is simply how I feel about the BWCA, especially in light of Resolution 140, which if passed by Congress will allow toxic sulfide-ore copper mining to move forward immediately upstream.

Teddy Roosevelt’s family urges GOP to protect Boundary Waters In a rare letter to Republican senators, four descendants of the former president oppose mining near the Minnesota wilderness area.

“It’s not just this administration — it’s the GOP collectively that is not as concerned about conservation as it should be,” Ted Roosevelt IV, 83, said in a recent interview. #BWCA #MNWilderness @bwca.bsky.social

Northern lights erupt over Burnt Lake in the BWCA. Reflecting in the water. Dark silhouettes of trees line the shoreline.

Enjoy your evening. Here’s a photo from this past September trip to the BWCA.
The Ojibwe word for Northern Lights is waawaate.
