More winter

because you can never have enough.

Tri-X marks the spot

I have really been enjoying the look and feel of classic black and white films.

Stop!

Raegan just turned one, so it must be time for first year portraits!

Magic Beans

More dead flowers! Or something. Wild blue indigo seed pods turn a silvery charcoal color in the fall, and dried seeds rattle around in brittle pods when the wind blows. Imagine an entire symphony of baby rattles...

Bridge to Somewhere

Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, the actual point of all this really is to get you from one place to another. The Wabasha Street bridge in downtown St. Paul opened to
traffic in July of 1998, but the elaborate stair towers on either side took an additional three years to complete.

Sanguine

Bloodroots are far and away my favorite flower. Its an inspiration to see them jutting up from the layer of dead leaves, well before the rest of the forest has awakened. In a couple short weeks, they're gone again for the year. "Sangine" in English means hopeful or optimistic, but the Latin root means blood or bloody. The scientific name for bloodroot is "Sanguinaria Canadensis."
