Cold, snowy, and full of birds—this year’s Sax-Zim Bog trip didn’t disappoint.
A Pine Grosbeak, a Gray Jay, a Chickadee, and a Northern Hawk Owl.
Always worth the drive.

Sunday Sunrise Club 🌅❄️
This morning’s meetup started by the 3rd Ave Bridge and led us to Nicollet Island, chasing light and mist across the river. The cold was no joke—but the golden sun and fog dancing on the water made it all worthwhile.

Cold air, clear skies, and a moonrise over the Lowry Avenue Bridge this morning with the Sunday Sunrise Club. The light played nice, the cables caught fire, and the skyline glowed just enough to spark some creative compositions.

Fresh snow in the Sculpture Garden.
Spoonbridge and Cherry kissed by morning light.
Stillness. Wonder. Art in winter’s hush.

I couldn’t resist the pull of a foggy morning—so I took a quick walk around Lake Hiawatha. The quiet paths, drifting mist, and fog-framed details made everything feel a little more magical. Here are a few moments I captured along the way.

Watched St. Paul wake from Cass Gilbert Memorial Park—Capitol glowing, Cathedral silhouetted, skyline stretching into light.
Two timelapses from Sunday Sunrise Club, each a quiet celebration of place and perspective.

Sunday Sunrise Club at Cass Gilbert Memorial Park delivered a skyline light show—Capitol, Cathedral, and clouds aglow.
Quick stop at Nina’s Coffee, where the Frank P. Blair Building caught the morning light just right.

"Hours Beneath a G4 Sky"
On 11/11/2025, a G4-class geomagnetic storm lit up Minnesota with vivid reds, greens, and pulsing coronas. I spent hours beneath that electric sky, capturing timelapses and stills as the aurora danced overhead

Caught the morning light in motion—a timelapse of sunrise over the Stillwater Lift Bridge, shared with the Sunday Sunrise Club. The final frames reveal a radiant sun star, a quiet reward for early risers.

Red auroras over a country church—last night felt like a sermon in light.
Heading to bed to rest up for round two.

Crex Meadows in October: thousands of Sandhill Cranes, swans, bald eagles, and a fleeting kingfisher. Loved the silhouettes of cranes flying over the sunset.

50 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath Superior.
Split Rock Lighthouse shines in remembrance.

🍁 Fog wrapped the lake like a whispered story. Golden leaves, quiet paths, and reflections that felt like memory. Lake Harriet, Minneapolis—fall in soft focus.

🍂 Ford Bridge was glowing this morning.
Caught rowers gliding through reflections so rich it looked like they were paddling through fire-colored glass.
Framed a few shots through the railing—structure meeting serenity.

Not sure why this one didn't get added to the post, but here is the image that used cloud stacking.
Bear & Bean Lake Overlook, October’s quiet blaze
A few images from last week’s hike—fall foliage in full voice, and a final frame built from cloud stacking to show the sunset’s motion. Time layered into light.
#FallColors #NorthShoreMN #CloudStacking #Photography #CreativeProcess #BearAndBeanLake
Rock-strewn foreground leading to a forested valley and calm lake; warm golden sunset light illuminates the tops of green, yellow, and orange trees; dense clouds gather on the horizon; scene taken from Bear and Bean Lake Overlook in Silver Bay, Minnesota.
"Where the Forest Breathes in Gold"
Waited all day for the clouds to roll in, hiked the last miles over granite and grit, then watched autumn catch the treetops and the lake in a single quiet blaze. Worth every step.

"The Invention of Morning"
First visit to the Bakken Museum, captured with the Sunday Sunrise Club before the city woke.
Koi drifted beneath Tudor gables as the museum marked 50 years of invention. I’ll be back to explore inside soon.

"We Remained as the Sky Wandered"
I took this image years ago by capturing a frame with my friends standing on the pier and then captured a timelapse of the stars. I revisited this with the idea of creating a timelapse with my friends staying static and the sky swirling with the stars. #nightsky

"Weisman’s Wake"
This morning’s light rail streaks past the sculpted shimmer of the Weisman Art Museum—motion meeting monument in a blur of steel and sunrise. A fleeting trace through a city that never stands still.

"Star Gazer"
Taken on a quiet night along Lake Superior’s shore—just me, the stars, and the sound of water against stone.
