I like going for walks in the woods at my favorite rustic park in Minnesota.

All photos are my own, with no editing and no AI. I'm not comfortable doing reposts, so I do them rarely.

This looks especially appealing when tonight's forecasted low temp is 19 below zero, then add in the windchill.
The trail switches from brown grass to dirt as it enters the woods. Bright red sumacs are on each side of the trail. Upper section has pale yellow and green leaves. October 14, 2025

One of my besties is a coconut junkie, so the first Christmas cookies I made this season were Macaroon Kiss cookies. #foodonFriday #cookieparty

Photobomb, prairie style
Dozens of black eyed susans with a few wild bergamot, all in tall green grasses. A tall white plant in the lower left corner was blown into the frame by the wind. It kind of looks like 4 fingers reaching in. July 15, 2025

Here is a wedge of chocolate chunk brownie for #foodonFriday
One chocolate chunk brownie on a vintage yellow Tupperware plate. I bake brownies in a round pan, so this is a wedge instead of a square.
