I know I have been sharing this waterfall a good bit, but Minnehaha is just so close to me, and fun to test out my new filter on. This is its Thanksgiving splendor. #Scape #Waterfall #Photography #Landscape #Photo #EastCoastKin

A small body of water flows in an S under a bridge in the distance I went for a walk this morning Id come so far from a life I knew I had to catch my breath Thanksgiving was always my favorite Now it feels like any other day Kind of like breathing during a game of hide and seek

Before I left #Appalachia, I hiked into a remote wilderness in #WestVirginia and gathered soil and plants. I then put them in this #Terrarium and moved to Minnesota. The first plant to grow was poison Ivy, but once I pulled out the toxic beauty flourished #EastCoastKin #StillLife #Plants #home

Oh, also the #PolarBears were out playing today. Typically they are just laying around when I am there, today they were playing pretty well. I guess we are getting more into their temps though. #St.Paul #ComoZoo #Photography #Zoology #Animals #Bears
Two polar bears, one swimming up to the other, which is standing over the exit to the pool.

I went to the Como Conservatory today in #St.Paul. These are some of my favs. #Small #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #Photography #Flowers #BloomScrolling #Nature #Conservatory #TwinCities
I believe this is a type of ginger, which consists of a cluster of red flowers, hanging in front of a green plant background. The small flower of the Cacao tree, probably the size of a dime Not sure what type of flower this is, but it is waves of white petals with blue tips, sort of rolling in and out of itself A large, single petaled purple flower with a deep center behind green leaves.

*Minnehaha Falls* Took this today with my new ND Filter. I am newer to these, so if anyone has any tips, I will gladly take them. #Minneapolis #TwinCities #Waterfall #LongExposure #FujiFilm #Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

there isn't much smaller than a mushroom that I photograph. These caps are smaller than a dime, and they stand about 2 inches. I thought their orange color was gorgeous against that moss green background. #Small #BlueSkyArtShow #Macro #CloseUp #Photography #Photo #FungiFriends #EastCoastKin

Leaving the Lucy Parson's Center last night I spotted this small greenhouse across the street, with light from an electric sign shinning through. #Minneapolis #StreetPhotography #Greenhouse #Plants #Farming #Photography #NightPhotography

Well it's #Monday but good news is that means #MacroMonday. I saw these plants the other day while walking mini. Their strange structure and soft wilted petals drew me in for a photo session. #Macro #CloseUp #Flowers #BloomScrolling.
Strange green almost heart shaped flower buds the flower bud has open and the flower wilted from the colder temps a spent bud, browned over and a looser structure overall another wilted pink flower on a darker background

I was at a friends house and she has the gorgeous cat. This was the best pick I got of him. #Photography #Cats #Pets #Photo #StunDay #EastCoastKin

Happy #Stunday. Passed the dead flowers on my walk today with Cini. #Photography #Macro #MacroPhotography #CloseUp #Fall #autumn #Minnesota #EastCoastKin
wilted flowers from the cool. The petals are a deep orange at the base that transitions to a lighter orange at the tips.

So while not a forest, it is a plant. Saw this sunset outside my window, then I was snapping the photo, I noticed how good my jade plant looked with it. Hope you like it. #Photography #Photo #Sunset #Jade #JadePlant #Art #HousePlant #Plants #PlantyGay #EastCoastKin

Wont be long now until all the lakes look like this. I cant wait to be able to walk out on them again, and get a different view of some standard scenery. #Winter #Ice #Photography #LandscapePhotography #Photo #Art #EastCoastKIn #ClassicMono

#Minnesota is finally seeing winter. We got some snow yesterday, barely a dusting but still snow. This was taken last winter, but same vibes. #Photography #LandscapePhotography #Landscape #Photo #Nature #Hiking
A winter tree leaflessly takes up the foreground as a frozen river leads the the eye from the center right to the back left. Grasses line the river before reaching the forest in the distance.

Took this earlier this week walking around the Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis. The moon was bright and there are these #Willow trees I love. Got down low to capture the moon between two of them. #Evening #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #Moon #MoonLovers #Landscape #Lake #EastCoastKIn #Minneapolis #Photo

I wanted to apply a new preset I made for night photography to a daytime shot. I took this a few weeks about in Big Woods State Park in Minnesota. #Hiking #Scape #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Photo #EastCoastKin
