Glowing from the #inside. This beautiful golden cocktail was enjoyed at the Pickwick in Duluth.

A golden cocktail inside an art-deco-esque, long stemmed glass. The glass is framed by windows overlooking a rainy evening on Lake Superior.

A foggy view of the water tower on the Beach of Douglas island. The tide brought the water down enough that you could walk right out to the tower.

The water tower of Douglas beach sits to the left, next to it on the right are old dock poles standing in large patches of bladderwrack.

A scene that feels like #home to me is Red Wing in the fall. Wrapped in cozy colors and gentle breeze.

This publication has LOST you the LAST shred of “journalistic integrity” your publication might have ever had. I CANNOT fathom allowing this to be published when thousands of Palestinians were slaughtered by Israel in the last WEEK

An Ordovician snail imprint fossil in my collection. Found in Minneapolis. Im obsessed with how perfectly the ridges have been preserved over some 400 million years.

#blueskyartshow I was wracking my brain for a photo this morning that fit the prompt. I suddenly remembered this lush little #narrow boarded walkway at Artist’s Point park in Grand Marais. I can’t wait to go back this year😍. #photography #minnesota #grandmarais #upnorth #localartist #MNartist

Summer’s last pink lady slipper. Taken a few years back at Artist’s point, Grand Marais. A complete surprise, this late bloomer was holding on to her showy petals while all the others had already faded away.
