Nature

This photo is going viral for the best reason and I talked to the man behind it to find out how it happened.

Get ready for some loud, low flying planes.  Douglas County Officials have announced that the aerial spraying to slow the spread of Gypsy moths will begin Monday morning as early as 6:00 am.  Actual times could vary with the weather forecast.

Ever wondered what the best roses for the Twin Ports area are, how to prune them right, or protect them from our Minnesota winters?  You can this weekend, and for free.  The Lake Superior Rose Society was started in 1966 and their expert Rosarians have it all down to a science...

You just never know what videos will go viral.  Case in point, a video filmed on a Minnesota lake of a huge muskie snacking on a northern pike has now been viewed over 13 million times, while being shared over 55,000 times.  Wanna see it?

Some of us have run into the dilemma of dealing with an abandoned or injured wild animal.  I don't mean "wild" like a tiger or elephant, I mean a non-domesticated animal like a fox, fawn or a turkey vulture.  What do you do?  That's why Wildwoods Rehabilitation exists.  Come behind the scenes at Wildwoods and see some of the animals while you  learn more.

I am not warped, there is a reason why I came up with the top 5 most popular insects of our area that should be used in insect-inspired food.  Because a museum in Houston has a vending machine that carries only snacks made from insect parts.  I thought why not get rid of our top 5 most annoying Northland insects, can you guess which 5 they are?

Sunday morning.  My morning to sleep in and there I was, laying in my cozy, comfy bed eyes wide open listening to the somewhat familiar sounds of our local morning birds.  We started trying to identify the name of the bird making each sound and trying to remember their names from our childhood.  This is a super cool interactive illustration that will help you figure out exactly what bird woke you

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has an incredible live video stream of wild bald eagles living in nature.  This camera is placed right above the eagles nest.  Recently, the first eggs of the season from the perennially nesting pair of eagles were spotted and you can see them now.

If there's one thing Minnesota has, it's plenty of fishing opportunities and this weekend will be the perfect time to head outside and make family memories.

Voyageurs National Park is a treasure that we have in the State of MN just a short drive north of here.  If you've never been there, it's definitely worth a visit.  Filmmakers from Georgia recently made a video highlighting the breathtaking beauty.

Because my husband is involved with the Swain Cross Country Meet, I only get to Bayfield's Apple Festival every three years.  This year we camped in the quaint town of Ashland, WI and day tripped through the colorful autumn foliage to Bayfield.  The photo opportunities were abundant and I wanted to share them with you.

You don't have to have a green thumb to help "tip the roses" at the Leif Erikson Park Rose Garden in Duluth.  In fact, you could use this as a learning experience. Tipping roses needs to be done when the weather starts to turn cooler.  It helps to protect the plant, almost puts it in a sort of hibernation mode.  Can you help?
