My Minnesota

My Minnesota 

April

April is tricky in Minnesota.   We are growing tired of the snow, the little bit we have left is ugly and gray on the side of the roads.  A fresh blanket will fall and look pretty again but we are really longing for spring.  We want to open our windows and ditch our winter jackets.  The kids are ready to get out and run and play.  Spring is so close we can taste it.  When it does make an appearance we run outside to enjoy every last second of the day.  This April we were lucky to go to a few parks and enjoy the puffy clouds again.  We watched the world from the treehouse for hours.  And a warm fire is the perfect way to end a great day.  I was given the opportunity to share my photographs with some amazing artists to share what Minnesota is to me every month.  Here is my take on Minnesota.......  

Thanks for checking out my work.  Please take a look at Melissa Pizzalato's awesome take on April in Minnesota.  

Oh Florida..........how I miss you.

Oh Florida........... how I miss you.  I love the break you gave us from this long winter in Minnesota.  I love your warm breezes and sunny skies.  I miss the smells and sounds of the ocean.  I miss the walks on the beach with our toes in the water, waves crashing over our feet.  I miss searching for shells in the sand with all of the kids.  Building sandcastles and chasing birds never sounded so sweet.  Smiles and squeals I will keep in my heart forever.  I fell in love with taking photos at the beach......
