sunshine hiking

Holy gorgeous weekend! It was seriously Minnesota spring at its finest. We spent most of it outside, hiking, fishing, and relaxing. On Saturday, we toured the small town of Little Falls and discovered several antique and thrift stores that I want to go back to after we move. After grabbing a greasy burger and fries from a local diner, we set out to explore Charles A. Lindbergh State Park - a small, but beautiful park with good trails and a creek running through it. As we walked along the creek, frogs upon frogs kept leaping into the water. You could see small winged insects swarming in the rays of sunlight. It was one of those days that when the yellow sunshine hit the green leaves of the trees it gave off a warm glow. I'm so thankful I have a Tim and a Callie to enjoy these sort of weekends with me.

  1. 1.) Did you catch anything?
    2.) Did you forget to give Tim photographic credits for picture #2?

    I agree w/ your assessment of the weekend. I spent mine watching fishing line highlighted by the perfect sunshine drape into calm water as loons shouted out glorious things - it was brilliant.

    1. 1.) No, but we are both really inexperienced when it comes to river fishing.
      2.) Yes, my apologies. Photo credit for photo #2 goes to the infamous Timothy J. Miller.
