Tonight I sat quietly by a beaver lodge with my camera and let the wild come to me.
Three beavers glided through the pond like I wasn’t even there—just doing their thing as the sun went down.

Caught some great views tonight—sunset through the trees, a few deer keeping an eye on me, and some wood ducks down by the water. Always cool to see what’s moving around as the day winds down.

A beautiful stroll along the Minnesota River. We saw over 50 deer in a 1 mile section

After weeks of bare ice and biting cold, winter finally laid down a fresh layer. There’s something about new snow—it covers the old tracks, smooths out the rough edges, and resets the landscape. It doesn’t erase what’s underneath, but it makes everything feel new again. A reminder that even when the season feels stuck, change is always on the way.

Last day of January, and the Minnesota River Valley is treating us to a rare burst of warmth and sunshine. Even in the midst of winter, these moments remind me how quickly nature can surprise us. I’m soaking up every bit of this gentle glow before we head back out for some fishing adventures soon. Cherishing these small pockets of spring in the heart of winter!
