northernimages > The warm winds of April melt down the winters accumulation of snow, filling area streams and rivers with refreshing cold water. This picture was taken at Gooseberry Falls State Park, located on the north shore of Lake Superior.

Taken with an infrared camera, normally green trees appear pure white. Since infrared is invisible to our eye, a special sensor in the camera is needed to "see" infrared. This camera blocks all visible light and only sees infrared.

There are not many experiences that compare to a walk along a swollen river on a sunny afternoon in April.  The sound of the rushing water, the sweet smell of new cedar, and viewing the beauty of the woods fills the senses and makes us take notice of God's creation in a special way.

Walking down the muddy river bank, new life surrounds you with migrating wildlife, newborn animals and birds, and tips of fresh green plants peaking through the forest floor. All around, the earth seems to be waking up.  The experience adds new life to your soul like a cup of coffee to a weary traveler.

Although infrared light is beyond our ability to see, an infrared camera makes it possible. Likewise, though we cannot see God yet, He reveals Himself to us through the beauty of His creation.

Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, You inspire shouts of joy, Psa 65:8
northernimages > When I pulled into the parking lot at 6AM on this early spring morning, the sun had already risen and I could hear the distant falls, roaring with melt-water. A few fishermen were unpacking their gear, getting ready to try their luck ,catching the trout that had moved into the river.

Although spring was late this year, there was no mistaking its arrival. The river was full, fishermen were out, sap was starting to flow through the limbs of the maple trees and the sun was already warm. It's days lake this that make you appreciate being able to live in this area.

It was a good day to be alive. I made my way around the falls taking pictures as I went and stopping to enjoy the beautiful creation that God placed in front of me. There is something about watching water tumble down waterfalls that seems to settle the soul and renew the mind and it seemed to work on this morning in May.


The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Isa 58:11
