A Porcupine!

Posted on February 22, 2011 by scott

When is a woodpile also a home? When a porcupine takes up residence during the day! We were up in Crosslake, MN for the President’s Day holiday weekend, and a winter cabin demands a winter fire. As we cleared away some snow to open the shed to get some wood, a shadowy creature stirred… Slowly. It was a porcupine! I’ve never been so close to a porcupine. In fact, I’ve only seen one other in my life and that was way up a tree. This one barely moved away from us, and very slowly. On day two, I took this shot with my iPhone. Cute little guy, or, girl maybe?

It was a wonderful day in Minnesota today. Warm weather and sunshine. It won’t be long now before it’s above freezing almost every day 🙂

Snowshoeing today

Posted on February 12, 2011 by scott

We went snowshoeing today in a local park called Mississippi Gorge Regional Park. It was just beautiful with a temperature in the 30’s F, sunshine and some fun snow climbing up the sides of the gorge to the river road. It feels like summer!

We have hiked here several times in the summer but never in the winter. It’s a gem of an area and very close by.

Mexico, December 2010

Posted on January 7, 2011 by scott

Here are some photos from a recent trip to the Playa del Carmen area of Mexico. Most of these shots were taken in Akumal, a small town and beach community separated by a highway. The old town on one side, the tourist beach area on the other.
