Outdoor Adventures at Mississippi River County Park | Rice MN

Outdoor adventures and scouting a new location? Heck yes! Those in central Minnesota may be familiar with Bend in the River Park with its charming barn, old house, various textures of outbuildings and prairie area with ample grasses and flowers found throughout the seasons.  HEAVILY popular with photographers – stop out in the fall and you’ll find rather coordinated packs of photographers and families swarming the park.  No we didn’t adventure to Bend in the River. Instead we headed directly across the river to Mississippi River County Park.  Acquired in 1973, Mississippi River County Park follows the flow of the […]

Architecture | 52-Week Project Archive

Its been solidly busy here at About A Dog Photography from the fall and start of the holiday season which means I missed a couple of weeks of the 52 Week Project. Drat! Luckily this past weekend had me downtown Minneapolis for a Dogs of MSP event at Lakes & Legends Brewery. Ample dogs to borrow and brews to drink. The model picked was a lanky, tall, part pony, mantle blue merle Great Dane named Cash. Its a whole other thing to work with a dog that is taller than you when you are kneeling! He was a star, granting
