A Russian painting inside a dome in the garden next to the Visitor’s Center in LaCrosse. Be fun to visit in warmer weather with garden in bloom, but was interesting to have a look around and see all the connections LaCrosse has to places around the world. #lacrossewisconsin #russianart #painting #garden #architecture #photography #color #design #structure #dome #explore #explorepage #adventure #bettertogether #newlywed #travel #travelphotography #fun #abundancemindset #thankful #sundayfunday

Art Coffee SHOW & TELL tomorrow morning at 10am at the @artscentermaplegrove — bring something you made and tell us all about it. In this photo, I refinished the lamp with turquoise paint, made the dream catcher, distressed the side table and decoupaged the map on top and several years ago, I drew the pink hibiscus from a plate-sized hibiscus 🌺 grown by Dorothy, a dear lady I loved to listen to tell her stories. #art #artistsoninstagram #memories #crafty #decoupage #dreamcatcher #refinishedfurniture #create #showandtell #createandcultivate #coloredpencil #artwork #original #lead #inspire

Book 📖 ending the day with a sunset 🌅 over Weaver Lake. Love 💕 being near the water. #sunset #sunsetlover #photooftheday #naturephotography #photography #color #lakegirl #lakelife #freezing #lake #water #horizon #thankful #thankfulthursday

A beautiful tree in the morning sun, even without its leaves.... it reminds me to “turn my face to the sun and all of the shadows will fall behind me”.

I surprised some ducks 🦆 when I walked out onto the dock to have a look at the cold sunset 🌅 tonight before dark descended. #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemn #maplegrovemnbusiness #naturephotography #sunset #sunsetlover #lakegirl #lakelife #water #lake #art #artistsoninstagram #peace #abundance #explore #explorepage #minnesota

The clouds were out in full force today, creating a crazy cloudscape on a gloomy, chilly, late fall afternoon. I enjoyed a few minutes of peace reconnecting with my good friend @shannonwhealy over cat tails and snoozing fishes. It’s good to have “old” friends - it does the soul good. #lakegirls #lakelife #lakelifestyle #walk #hike #friendship #reconnect #nature #landscape #art #design #inspire #clouds #photography

Out on a lake walk. Brrrrr temps are dropping. It’s gonna be a cold night for trick or treaters! #lakelife #lakegirls #laketime #maplegrovemn #maplegrovemnbusiness #walk #hike #outdoors #art #design #autumnvibes🍁 #nature @annellembeauty

Yesterday’s walk down to the lake was a fall-splendor-iffic view of yellow leaves 🍁 blanketing the creek and paths all the way there. The late afternoon sun warmed my skin and the trail. What a beautiful site! #laketime #lakegirl #lakelife #yourlakewalk #fall #autumn #autumnvibes🍁 #maplegrovemn #maplegrovemnbusiness #eaglelakemaplegrove #photography #mapleleaves #walk #hike #outdoors #inspire #colors #trail

I made a rock mandala today with the rocks I brought back from our weekend adventure at Lake Superior. #lake #lakegirl #lakelife #laketime #eaglelakemaplegrove #maplegrovemn #maplegrovemnbusiness #createandcultivate #create #mandala #art #artistsoninstagram #designer #teach #inspire #encourage #lead #thankful
