'Up North'

'Up North', Minnesotan for a woodsy/lake-y region north of the twin cities, or, a phrase to capture that 'summer weekend at the cabin' state of mind. Growing up on a farm 'up north' was not all leisure at the lake, but we had our share of fun and memory-making. Warm evenings, bonfires, backyard volleyball, after-dark lake swims, thunderstorms, star-gazing, firefly-catching, northern-light chasing. Great times.
This Minnesota scene is from last August at my brother's house. All the cousins running around together in the yard playing the same games we played as kids, and, after dark, the Aurora Borealis gave us a show in front of the Big Dipper. So beautiful. I took a bunch of cool photos on my phone, but I tried hard to recreate a version closer to what my eyeballs actually saw.
Enjoy!
