Big Snowy Buffalo

I loved these big snowy Buffalo!

When I was in Northern Minnesota for Christmas, we drove by a couple of farms with Buffalo.  These giant animals were grazing outside in the below zero temperatures, kept warm by their big furry coats. 

You could see the snow on their faces and the warm air from their lungs exhaling into the cold Minnesota air. 
A friendly buffalo came right up to the fence.  And made us laugh with his antics.

Swans on Fish Hook Lake

A trip to Minnesota in the winter isn't complete without photographing the swans on Fish Hook Lake.
With a beautiful backdrop of trees lining the lakes with their branches filled with snow, the swans glide gracefully along.

Red Bridge, Park Rapids, MN

I love to photograph this bridge.  This is a landmark of Park Rapids, Minnesota.  This is home.

I posted this picture (top) on Facebook, and many people that have moved away loved it.  And even people that didn't know what it was, commented that it was a beautiful bridge and place.
You can usually catch someone snowmobiling over the bridge, on their way to the snowmobile trails.
