I like going for walks at my favorite rustic park in Minnesota.
All photos are my own, with no editing & no AI. I'm uncomfortable doing reposts, so they are rare.
This Minnesotan stands with Canada. Slava Ukraini
Please don't add me to starter packs

I feel grateful to find an encouraging #photography community on BlueSky
But with the unrelenting terror facing my city, I just don’t have the will or desire to share my usual photos.
Instead, I encourage you to follow photojournalists like Brandon who are capturing the reality of this moment (1)

Minnesota, my home, is carrying a heavy burden right now.
Being kind is not being weak. The strength to care for others, to love and protect our neighbors, to be a shield and not a sword, to be warmth in the cold is true Minnesota nice.

I hate what the demented orange clown has done to us, but I have never been more proud to be a Minnesotan. Thank you to the everyone who has supported us. We will stand with you if they invade you, too.

Found a toad in October, very late in the season.

This fills my heart, especially since today's high temperature was around -10 (-23 Celsius), plus wind. Stay strong, Minnesota. We've got this. ❤️
This is the scene in downtown Minneapolis this afternoon, where thousands of people have braved -25F wind chills to protest ICE operations in Minnesota.

I love this old tree, but it's teetering on the edge of the creek bank. Gravity and flood waters will take it down someday and it will break my heart.

In Minnesota, we are shining.
Today there was a sun halo with tiny diamonds of frozen water double refracting the light.

@aiverynorth.bsky.social. To answer your question - We are not OK. They are statewide, not just in the metro. Towns with food-related jobs have already been visited, my town included. They will be back. The bad weather helps slow them down. It's been a long year and it's only January 18.
