I caught this moment during an outing to the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest

for an ice cream cone

I briefly flashed back to my youth in southern Wisconsin

The bad thing was that we’d all come in wired up from subzero Wisconsin windchills and then our poor teachers had the unenviable task of calming us down to focus on the next lesson

I ruined my supposedly "water-proof" shoes splashing through the deep puddles and I also learned that saturated pants pack quite a bit of extra weight

Charleston Night Gray I caught this moment duringI'm an American history nerd and I really enjoy visiting cities that still pulse with the past. One stellar example of this is Charleston, South Carolina. I've learned so much about America during my visits to this city and I look forward to returning there for both the excellent food and history. I caught this moment during a mild winter evening and I liked the mood, color, and contrast packed into it.
