There’s no way the fence will win

That fence is giving a good try, keeping the forest at bay. But I think we all know the forest has the upper hand here and will eventually win.

Inside Outhouse

So, maybe people give me That Look when I take my camera with me to a restroom. And maybe those same people would never even notice how lovely the inside of this restroom was. That’s on them, and I’ll keep taking my camera with me.

But – and you’ll just have to trust me on this – if there are other people in the restroom, I won’t take a picture. Because that’s just weird.

Bright water in the dark forest

Everyone we met in Minnesota advised us to visit this state park.* They obviously weren’t wrong.

*State park admission is free, which is really cool.

Waterfall and tourists

The trick about photographing this place is to be there when no one else is. That didn’t happen to me, as you can tell by that person perched up there by the waterfall posing for the other person up there.

Submerged in clear water

The water was clear. And cold. But mostly clear, since I didn’t get and the temperature really didn’t matter. (See? I made it all about me, which is sort of selfish, now that I think about it.)
