Driveway to the Veteran's Hospital in St. Cloud

Another gloomy day to add to the docket. But alas, this won’t last forever right?

Chapel

IMG_0090 copy
In the 8 years that I have been living in Cold Spring, I actually didn’t know what was up this little road. One day last August, I decided to follow the path and see where it led.
Yep, there is a little chapel up there that has been kept up nicely and has beautiful flowers too!IMG_0008 copyIMG_0012 copyIMG_0014 copyIMG_0017 copy
Here is the chapel there.IMG_0018 copyIMG_0019 copy
The doors that you can open and find…IMG_0030 copyIMG_0031 copy
…a little mini church. I think they actually keep candles burning 24/7.

But what really kept capturing my eyes were the serene flower beds…sweet flowers everywhere!IMG_0086 copyIMG_0032IMG_0035 copyIMG_0039 copyIMG_0043 copyIMG_0047 copyIMG_0058 copyIMG_0059 copyIMG_0062 copyIMG_0065 copyIMG_0068 copyIMG_0071 copyIMG_0075 copyIMG_0081 copyIMG_0083 copy
In any case, I love following little roads and seeing what I find. I am actually a little amazed at what I can find in my little town.

Etsy….

So I have decided that it could work to have a few of my pictures up for sale out on Etsy. Scary move, but thought I would try it out. Do I fully know what I am doing, probably not…is it worth trying, yep. It is a really small cost to put things out there for sale, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. You know what was even more strange, knowing what shots to share “for sale”. Honestly, I would sell any of my pictures for sale if someone wanted them. I really love taking pictures and would be thrilled if it would bring a smile to someone else’s life. What happens if they don’t sell at all, well I think I will be okay with that too. The extra money sure would be nice as I have plenty of photography items on a list to get, but again, if this isn’t the way, then the Lord will show another way. I am okay with that too! Here I go…http://www.etsy.com/shop/naturewood

I am going to have to really scour my shots from the past few years and see if there are any others that I might deem worthy. If you think of any others you have seen and love and think would work out there, please, please let me know!

Thanks everyone for your support!

Pretties!

When I was getting my hair highlighted last summer at Aurora Spa and Salon I wandered around and took some pictures of the store. It is full of wonderful things that every girl would love!

It was at this moment that I realized how squinty I am when I take pictures…why didn’t anyone tell me!!IMG_9996 copy
Anyway, check out Aurora for great hair, massages, clothes, jewelry, the works!

2 degrees below zero-- Scenes at Frogtown Park

I would have to say getting cold was worth the shots I was able to capture. Had it not been a sunny day, I am not positive that I would have ventured out!IMG_4591 copyIMG_4597 copyIMG_4544 copyIMG_4545 copyIMG_4546 copyIMG_4548 copyIMG_4549 copyIMG_4551 copyIMG_4553 copyIMG_4554 copyIMG_4562 copyIMG_4566 copyIMG_4568 copyIMG_4573 copyIMG_4583 copy
