Searching for shelter – Part 1
A few weekends ago we had some nice sunny weather and I decided to once again head out and see what I could see along a stretch of the Sturgeon River Trail system. A couple episodes back I had explored briefly a stretch of this same trail but turned and headed back as I was…
Hoar Frost for days
Some mornings you wake up early and you get the beautiful surprise of a thick, beautiful hoar frost covering the land. It doesn’t happen too often in our neck of the woods where you get a nice heavy frost as winter conditions need to be ideal for it to really pop. When it does happen…
A Balkan, MN Sunrise

Winter fog in the northwoods
Some days you find yourself feeling so fortunate, even though you’d have done nearly anything for a few days of some nice sunshine instead of the steady gray of the clouds. One of my all time favorite weather conditions to get out making photos in is fog. It brings so much mood and feeling to…
