The Mid South Gravel – 2022 Edition

Today I am sharing some words and images from the 2022 Mid South gravel bike race & ride. It’s been a few years since I’ve ridden this event. I wish I could entirely blame covid for that but I can’t! I went to Mid South on a mission to ride 1st and take pictures 2nd. I needed this ride and event. I can also tell you from my personal experience that I think a lot of other folks needed it too.

Stay the course

In late January 2021 I took a similar picture as my opening main image. I was driving south. I was by myself. In those hours, minutes and seconds between Minneapolis and Kansas City I vowed to myself to prioritize my health and my well being, both physical and mental. It was the spark I needed […]

Deep Thoughts, Friends and Family

a in on what is going on and a few quotes that have really challenged me.

Sunny So Cal – Learning, Processing & Intuition

ast week I journeyed to sunny, Southern California. I was on a bit of a personal journey. I went for a hands on class to learn some new skills. Honestly, I didn’t fully know the purpose of this journey other than I knew I needed to do it. In the end, I came home to endless processing and thinking.

2021 – My year in photos

It’s that time of year again where many look back and prepare for a new year. I am one of those people. This activity is really hard wired in my brain. I need to look back not only to learn, but to truly put the year to rest and file it away. This year was […]

Reflections on Seattle

I was fortunate to get to celebrate my friend, and friendships, in Seattle last weekend. It was a short trip arranged by my close friend’s wife. When asked to go I jumped at the opportunity. Any time I can garner time and experiences with these two fine fellas is worth any amount of $$ or […]

Gnat’s Ozark Ramble

As I write this, I am buried in work. Not caught up on my fall home owner chores. We had our first dinner as our family unit in two weeks and only the second or third in the past 6 weeks. Life. Is. Nuts. But…..I find myself energized, inspired and at peace. Why? Aside from […]

Ireland – The Postcard Series

I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I’ve been back from Ireland. While the two weeks seem like an eternity, I can close my eyes and immediately go back. It was an incredible trip. Filled with surprise and delight, some drama back home with our dog and the final challenge of getting home as […]

Iceland – First 10 Images

I have spent the last several hours processing images from my recent winter wonderland, Ring Road tour of Iceland I’ll be honest, I did not think I was going to get good images considering that on day two, my main camera decided to stop working (later resolved and story to come). But I got some […]

And Just Like That….It’s Gone!

After writing “A Good Start and a Focused Month”, my creativity and vision just disappeared. Just like the bird in the opening picture, in an instant it disappeared. In all honesty, I pretty much set the camera down and tried my best to just get out side and enjoy life. I knew it would come […]

End Of Year River Ramble – Year End Reflections

One last post for the year! It’s been a good one. Really good in fact. Lots of positive changes for me personally and professionally. Yesterday while out in the cold, winter wonderland I took some time to think about the year and look forward. The greatest non family focused memory for me this year was […]

My 2017 Photo Year in Review –

I usually take the month of December to reflect and think about the year as well as plan for the coming year. While that is historically true, I spent much of November in that head space and am hitting the ground running in December. I almost feel like it is a new year. I have […]

New York City

Jen, the kids and I spent the week in New York City. What an experience. While the kids were there with Rosemount High School Marching Band to perform in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Jen and I were there for moral support and to explore the city. It sure was strange being in a city […]
