Shot of some flowers earlier this year. I thought we could use a splash of color before winter sets in.

Visited the Ice Castle at the MN State Fairgrounds today and shot several photos. This was one of my favorites tonight. It was a low-key beautifully eerie event. Loved it.

My Lily who struggles with a regular cat meow, became very talkative a day at my office. She’s earned the nickname Meep or Meepster due to her voice. You’ll want to turn up the volume.

Lily, my pandemic kitten, is super playful and affectionate. She loves her cat tree and climbs it like this all the time and she’s 3 years old. #cats

Constance was my child’s cat. Playful, affectionate and a fierce mouser. She passed last year unexpectedly. This video captured her spirit. #cats

In the middle of Moorhead, MN, there’s the Hjemkomst Center and they have a recreation of a Stav Church and a Viking ship. I took some candid shots in June 2024 in and out of the church. It’s a fantastic recreation. I recommend visiting if you can. cityofmoorhead.com/departments/...

This last spring (2024), I was fortunate enough to be at Como Park in time for the height of the Japanese Cherry Blossoms to be in full bloom. Beauty and the faint smell of blossoms embraced me. Two days later, breezes caused the blossoms to fall like snowflakes.

Haven’t posted for a bit as things got busy and home and at work. Things are much more normal now. My #cat Lily has been super affectionate lately. She invited me for a belly rub and it wasn’t a trap. She got lots of love from me.

Valladolid at night in December 2022. The bright lights, shopping and immense joy from others made this a wonderful experience.

Images from Banning Stare Park (MN). It was a misty day and I saw so much beauty. It was like time had stopped so long ago. Just me and nature. Powerful falls could be heard nearby. I chose to enjoy the peace of the forest.

Today I start writing the first wedding ceremony I’m officiating in 2025.
Most of my work is through referrals, if you know someone who’s getting married and they’re in the Twin Cities or western Wisconsin, hit me up.

Interesting perspective. While hiking through Whitewater State Park, I found a deep crevice between boulders. I inserted my camera upside down and took a photo and the details are remarkable. The small green blades of grass evoked a smile on my lips.

Finding beauty in the chilly autumn day at Whitewater State Park (MN). The lonely leaf and the sumac were brightly beautiful despite the surrounding brown and ash.

A fond memory of my friends and I enjoying a post dinner stroll in Kyoto. It was a formal Kyoto-style meal with 9 different courses. We were all very full. The restaurant worked around my food issues, so it was very enjoyable. #kyoto #happymemories #goodfriends

I left Twitter before it became X. I’m still on FB, IG, TT and other sites.
It didn’t serve a purpose for me. I do like this platform. Sharing photos and positive thoughts with others. It helps my heart and soul.

Sharp angles, archways and connectivity. Taken outside of U.S. Bank Stadium, near the METRO Station. The morning sunrise is reflected in the glass.

Strange juxtaposition: working outside of U.S Bank Stadium, I took this photo of the Minnesota Viking’s ship as the morning sky brightened. #skol #minnesotavikings #viking

Ate lunch with a friend yesterday at Tori, a Japanese Ramen restaurant in St. Paul, MN. They do not serve pork or use pork broth; instead chicken is used. The closer bowl is a salted duck (mine) and my friend had the miso one. Mine was rich and flavorful & my friend’s needed more miso.
