On another fine-art front, one of my pieces was recently exhibited in a show at Icebox Gallery in Minneapolis.  Icebox has been a long-time supporter of photography in this area; if you haven’t been there lately swing on by…..there’s always something interesting on the walls.  Here’s my piece from the show…..

Another gorgeous morning on the St. Croix in any case…no dive bombing eagles this time (is that good or bad?).
