Blown out into the lake in the matter of hours.

The winds are shifting, Minnesota. Can you feel it?

It was short lived, but it felt good for a few moments.

As the sun dropped toward the horizon, I got that little spark. Like someone trying to turn over an old engine. I got out of the vehicle & made a few photos of the changing light.

I stood there watching more than photographing until the light faded into blues & greys.

I grabbed my camera bag not even knowing if the batteries were still holding a charge & drive to the nearby overlook. Most of the time I sat in my vehicle silently watching the light change. As it did change, I checked my batteries.

Eventually I'll recharge my camera batteries. I'll begin to make photos again. Maybe even soon.

Til next time, another reminder of the beauty that Minneapolis is. I miss it there. I miss the community. I can't wait to return

I have got to want to make art for myself. To get myself out in the world. To remind myself that the world IS still full of beauty to witness. As my friend Riley says, "Outside is the good place." I just have to find the strength to get out there.

However, while I've been wrestling with that question, I want to share art. I want people to see the beauty we are trying to preserve in MInnesota. I want to give a visual respite from the horrors we are witnessing in our own state.
