A Walk in the Woods... Among Other Things

The day after Christmas my beautiful girlfriend, my parents, and I went for a beautiful walk through some trails that my parents had been exploring the last couple of weeks.

My parents go for a walk just about every day.  They're not short walk either.  They typically walk upwards of five miles when they go out.  We didn't walk quite that far this particular day because my girlfriend and I aren't used to walking that much at once, but the shortness of the walk didn't take away any of the beauty of the walk.

It was a gorgeous day, about 20 degrees, the sun was out, fresh powdery snow on the ground (and covering the trees), and beautiful trails and swamps to explore.

While we were out there my dad also put out a remote camera to try and get some photos of wildlife.
All in all it was an awesome walk.

Oh and there are some photos from an ice fishing trip my dad and I took up to Upper Red Lake.  We were only up there for a little bit, but we caught four walleyes (I didn't put any photos of them up though).  Thanks for looking!

A Photo From a Couple of Weeks Ago

Last weekend while I was in Bemidji, Minn. I was showing my parents some photos of where I went hiking and I realized I somehow forgot to post this photo from when my beautiful girlfriend and I were hiking a couple weeks ago. I really like this photo so I figured I would post it. Enjoy!

Hiking in the Bluffs

Today Lauren and I went hiking. It was a lot of fun, and very beautiful. We were climbing up some pretty steep stuff too right next to some cliff-like walls, and when we got to the top it was very beautiful. Not to mention there wasn't any bugs or anything yet, so that was awesome. All and all it was a very good afternoon. Check out some photos.
