craving a minnesota spring❄️🏕️🌈🌅🥾

It’s that time of the year when the sun is back and the snow is on the ground and I’m so very ready for the rivers to open up and to feel the crust of late winter snow under my boots and the feel of waterfall spray on my face and the taste of spring, right around the corner 🫶

This was out of my comfort zone!!!☀️ Last su

this trend but you’ve always been self-critical🫠🤷🏼‍♀️

February blues on Lake Superior🫶🏻❄️🥾🌊 some detail shots pulled from an SD card I’d forgotten about, some old rejects I decided I didn’t hate, some shots of snow piles in the parking lot in pretty light.
