Lovely Scribbles

I took a few photos for my friend, Nikki, over at  LovelyScribbles.com.  She's an incredibly talented writer (both in what she writes about and also her actual handwriting!)  and she makes the most exquisite placecards.  Check out her blog at: www.lovelyscribbles.com

The Polar Bear Plunge

This past Saturday I photographed the Polar Bear Plunge, a fundraiser for Special Olympics Minnesota. Having never been to a plunge before, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. It was pure craziness! Not only were the participants brave enough to plunge into the water on a 21 degree day, but they did so in hilarious costumes. The crowds of spectators were treated to not only jumps, but dives, cannonballs and belly flops. I couldn't believe their enthusiasm for jumping into freezing cold water!

Alaska in January

I'm vacationing in Alaska for a few days; enjoying the beautiful scenery and fun times with my brother and sister-in-law.  Here are a few photos from my trip.
