I wanted my photos to really capture the fresh flora we have here in Wisconsin. Year round, we always have green forest to look at. Regardless of the cold winters, you are still able to see the true beauty of Wisconsin nature.

Wisconsin has a bad reputation for being known as a “Winter Tundra” during the winter season. However, what most people don’t know is there are still some plants that survive the negative temperature nature throws at them. Lush forests and very green landscapes are still there, hidden under the blanket of snow.

A perfect day would be waking up early to jump in the St. Croix river, and then coffee at the Hudson Dunn Brothers coffee shop. Then drinks while having a backyard bonfire on the outskirts of St. Croix county where we can have huge fires.

It is far enough out that you don’t have to worry about noise or light pollution. The forest is lush and creates a variety of photo opportunities.

The negative temps can be hard on the skin.

It is greener than most people could imagine.
