Arts, crafts, photography, and joy. Illustration of a Great Blue Heron made with sharpie and prismacolor markers. But also because I received a new lens for my camera and wanted to try it out. I am still figuring out the focus, but I took a few decent photos of the family.

To celebrate survival of ten years of marriage, Matt and I spent three days on the North Shore of Lake Superior at Bluefin Bay. Exploring the Gitchi-Gami State Bike Trail. And hiking on the Superior Hiking Trail. En route to dinner, both nights, we did some rock picking, because how do you visit the North Shore and not come home with some cool rocks? Providing scenic vistas at nearly every turn.
