On Saturday morning I woke up early to go for a hike on Barn Bluff (down in Red Wing, Minnesota). Over the years Ive rock climbed there and I wondered what it would be like to hike along the stone walls in winter.
I dont usually get excited about grey snow days, I tend to favor the bright winter sun. This morning, however, I rediscovered a soft, reflective quiet that had me thinking about past summer adventures.
I took this photo as I walked along the quarry trail, revisiting old familiar haunts cast in a different light.
