Where man and nature collide. (at Shoreview, Minnesota)

Tunnels are creepy. (at Shoreview, Minnesota)

Finding this grove of birch trees made getting up when it was still dark totally worth it. When was the last time you got up before sunrise and were happy about it? (at Shoreview, Minnesota)

Coffee and long underwear are quite necessary for sunrise in the land of 10,000 lakes. (at Shoreview, Minnesota)

She’s still in bed this morning and feeling a little under the weather. I’m being a good husband and making the Saturday morning coffee. #chemex (at Minnesota)

Autumn went by too quick. All the trees are barren now and some are even covered in snow. ✨ @foreverloved302 (at Banning State Park)

I wonder how frosty the waters are up north. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve been up there. (at Minnesota)

On the march to 400 followers. Twice this week I️ got to 385, then some folks leave and I’m back down to 380. When I️ get up to 400, I’ll do a bunch of oompaloompa cartwheels 🤸‍♂️ in my story. So stay tuned for that. #seniorportraits #classof2018 #portraitmood #captureminnesota #thinknorth #mpls #exploremn #minneapolis #urbanexploration #canont5i #sigma1750 (at 24th Street Foot Bridge)

Use that extra hour wisely by making more coffee and catching sunrise before church. #fallback #daylightsavings #landscape #cornfields #captureminnesota #sunrise #exploretocreate #adventureculture #exploremn #northcountryco #thinknorth #venturenorth #stateparks #stateology #edgeoftheprairie #livefolk #earlybirdgetstheworm #canont5i #sigma1750 (at Waterville, Minnesota)

She left an hour ago for a women’s retreat at church, and I already miss her. @foreverloved302 (at Minnesota)

These chilly dreary days make me reminisce about the warm clear days of August on Lake Superior. #upnorth #lakesuperior #venturenorth #northcountryco #captureminnesota #exploremn #northshore #greatlakes #duluth #blackbeach #adventuretravel #travelgrams #minnstagram #moodygrams #exploremore #instamood #canont5i #sigma1750 (at Silver Bay, Minnesota)

Been under the weather today, also the weather hasn’t been great lately. Glad to have this little lady around to keep me company and make sure I take my medicine. @foreverloved302 #wife #portraitmood #captureminnesota #exploremn #thinknorth #minneapolis #mpls #moodygrams #minnstagram #northcountryco #venturenorth #upnorth #mn #justgoshoot #portrait #canont5i #sigma1750 (at Minneapolis, Minnesota)
