My New View

We've relocated to Princeton, Mn and I look forward photographing people and places in the area. I caught this dragon fly snuggled against the screen outside my office.

High Ho, High Ho, It's on a Hike We Go

(for full impact, view large)

We headed to Lake Maria State Park last Saturday for a hike. Now armed with a Minnesota parks pass, we will slowly discover the many preserves throughout the state (starting mostly in and around the Twin Cities). We're open to recommendations if you're ready or willing to give them.

Lake Maria State Park is the only Minnesota home of a rare breed of turtles (check out the turtle crossing sign below). It is also full of swamps and the mosquitoes that go with them. Yes, my legs are speckled with the battle-scar-bites that remind me it is officially summer: a.k.a construction/mosquito season.

We took the Big Woods Loop around the park.
