A Day to Create
I have had a lot on my mind. Surprisingly I am feeling similar to when I was working. My brain doesn’t turn off. I am hyper focused. I am churning over solutions and learning. I ignore some of the basic, human signals of thirst, hunger, etc. When I get this way, I am not the…

A celebration, a mini family reunion and some much needed time at the lake!
The Gnat family spent the weekend up in lake country, MN. Cabin Life. Swimming. Fires. Smores. Birthday Parties. Games. Family. Old Friends. Food. Pontoon Rides. Kayaking. Fishing. Cycling. You name a MN lake activity and I think we did it. It was so refreshing and EXACTLY what I needed. Not much for words other than…

A Good Start and a Focused Month
As I wrote in my last post, January 2018 started out in a blur. I am one of those folks that really love to take December to think and January to kick off the new year. I like resolutions that give me direction. I like the challenge. This year, my resolutions are a bit private…

A Blurry Start to 2018
Over the holidays I was on a roll with getting out, taking images and thinking. I was excited and going into the year with a loose plan and a bit more focus. But then the rat race started and that focus all came to a screeching halt. I felt like it was a re-entry to…

The power of the bicycle
This is a quick photo story of last week’s mini Minnesota Ramble. But the ramble is truly secondary to the deeper meaning of this post. This post is about the power of the bicycle. What you can do with it as well as the power it has bringing people and communities together. Over the course…

Morning, Noon and Night
Just a quick post today of a short photo project I did this past weekend while up north. Nothing too special, but I was enamored with the view and the idea of possibility while looking at the scene below. I also loved how quickly the scene changed with the weather. This is why I carry…

2016 Minnesota State CX
Needing some creative shutter therapy, I managed to get out to the 2016 Minnesota State CX race yesterday. While it is a two day event with many more races today, I got out yesterday and shot the SS, the 45 Men, 1-2-3 Women and the 1-2 Men. Wow. What a day. Just like clockwork, MN…

I grew up as a painter
These last two weeks have been pretty incredible here in MN. Sure we have had rain that has often kept me off the mountain bike trails, but it’s been stunning. Autumn is here. While I haven’t been riding, I am finding time to get out. I’ve been sneaking walks and hikes in often as they…

Roads like These
It’s been a tough several weeks for me. Thankfully I got out for some good quality me time. Just like old times, I left in the dark seeking some real peace and alone time. Time for the “I”in my Meyer-Briggs. Alone time to process some serious thoughts and to find that energy I needed for…

Pictures. Words. Now Routes & GPS Files?!
This past week a new mapping technology came to the market. And while this new website is far more than just a mapping site, this electronic dolt, has been living in the dark ages for some time and ignored everything electronic for my bicycle and avoided anything with GPS, GPX, Garmin, Strava, etc. You see,…
