There’s something about the northwoods of Minnesota that stills our minds and quiets our souls. For 40+ years, Kris’s family has cherished their lake cabin and re-connected after long winters and busy family lives. We do not take this refuge for granted. These images from last summer speak of the respite it is to us. Hopefully you too can enjoy the quiet.

fyi…All imagery taken with Lensbaby Control Freak Lens. See more Lensbaby love here.

Ever since my trip to Hawaii three years ago, I’ve been drawn to dreamy motion blurs. So my new Lensbaby 3G Control Freak makes me extra giddy, as it offers additional avenues of exploring beautiful blurry-ness while adding a touch of selective focus to the mix. Here are just a few of my first captures. Will share more soon.
