Mini Collection: Up North





                                                 

Here is my tiny Mini Collection.  I believe it is number 8, a collection of little objects from nature found on a short walk at Gull Lake last weekend.

We were staying at a cabin on the shore of Gull Lake near Nisswa, MN with our dear friends Bryan and Michele Kinghorn.  It was our 2nd annual fall rendezvous in the Minnesota north country.

Bryan and Michele live in Omaha, NE where they own and operate a landscape business, Kinghorn Gardens.  Because of the seasonal demands of their business we have taken our trips together in the late fall.  This year was cold and windy.  We had to cut our stay a day short because of an approaching snow storm.  None of us could risk getting stranded at the lake, as nice as that sounds, or much worse, somewhere on the road.



But the time we had together was wonderful - relaxing but stimulating, reinforcing all the reasons we love them!  It was good times with good friends.

Mini collection #8 was photographed on the ground outside our cabin and all the pretty little treasures remain lakeside.  This is hard for me to do - leave those sweet things behind.  So this collection will be mine as a photo only.  Enjoy, it speaks of the lakeside in Minnesota in November.  Awesome!!
