First real snow last night in northern #Minnesota. It’s 6 months until we can resume this. Vermilion Lake. Aviat Husky. Shooting video from the Wipline floats, gripping camera and lenses particularly firmly.

Any idea how hard it is to get a family photo on the river bar? Such great memories with these dorks.
