St. Lucia Day

Olivia had the honor of representing St. Lucia at Christ Lutheran Church today. This annual tradition is something that the congregation looks forward to not only because it celebrates the holiday, but also because it celebrates a graduating senior.

A Girl and Her Goose

 At the 4th of July parade in Marine on St. Croix, there was a girl with her goose.

Hiking at William O'Brien

It's hard to believe that it has been five years already since we took this camping and hiking trip to William O'Brien State Park. Although the park is only about five minutes away, we chose it because it is a good introduction to camping for those who haven't done so before. We introduced another 4-H family to camping and they had a great time. They want to go camping again with us and explore another state park.

Leaf Shadow

I created this image at William O'Brien State Park ten years ago, on May 16, 2008. Walking through a forested area on the trail near the St. Croix River, the shadow of this branch and leaves were on a large rock. When I look at images that I've made through photography, they bring me right back to the very moment when I took the photo. I like that.
