Minneapolis snow sculptures


Seriously I have waited for years to see this snow art!!

Thanks for stopping by my ice sculpture adventure!


So fun to see the sculptures here at the Minnesota state fairgrounds! So many years I have missed it and I am finally here! 


So much snow - grateful for my Taos boots! 



This teapot is my favorite of all of the sculptures! 


Tea and cupcakes!


Perfect time to visit at sunset 


Look at the detail on the cupcakes! 


Snow icing!





Oscar!!! 


Grateful for friends that braved the cold! 
To explore with me! 





I don't know how they decide what to sculpt but Osca made me smile!



Bees and honeycomb! 




So detailed 





This is a snow slab- waiting for  masterpiece to be created! 


A snow maze! 



Iowa has corn mazes and Minnesota has a snow maze 



This bat and leaf are my second favorite!


I didn't see them all lit up but I got a glimpse of what hat would look like 




Minions anyone? 


A frog prince? 


A giant coach purse is on the other side of this sign! 


Love this!


The brand is clear 










 


Photo op of course! 


Praying hands? Folded hands?
 

Such detail in the fingers and tbumb! Incredible 



This piece is intriguing? It's a tornado carrying chairs and things 


And there is a face- so Mother Nature? Or is the tornado our minds swirling like a tornado with racing thoughts? 


I'm not sure l


I appreciated when there was a sign about the sculpture. This raven was my third favorite!


He was gathering treasures





This sculpture had a model the artist used 


Neat detail to add for us to admire 




This lighthouse is fun!


So fun a dog approved 


Why did this make me giggle and also glad it wasn't my dog! 


Highly recommend a visit here and it's another thing I am grateful for the cold for! There are many good things about winter and this is one of them! Ice castles are next!

It has become a desired Christmas tradition. I need to come back in 2026 to ride the rides and see the regular shows! I loved Christmas and will look forward to regular season fun too!   Enjoy the sparkle of SDC at Christmas and 6 and a half million lights!!! This is the best Christ centered Christmas celebration! Add it to your list if you love Christmas🌲❤️ Branson at Christmas helped me shine brighter  Imagine the magic in my hand at the entrance for Silver Dollar City!  I adore this old time Christmas!  This plaque is a reminder of America's liberty and freedom. Celebrating Christmas with a focus on Christ reminds me of that Revolutionary freedom  This tree is a descendant of an original Liberty tree from the Revolutionary Patriots! I loved seeing this!  A Liberty tree de...

First Light Over the Canyon: Sunrise at Mather Point

Saturday, June 7, 2025  will forever have a glow in my memory - quite literally. That morning, the alarm rang painfully early, but with good reason. We were up and on the road by 4:30 AM , leaving the cozy Stargazer trailer in Valle, Arizona, behind us to chase something spectacular: sunrise at Mather Point in Grand Canyon National Park . As we started our journey to the canyon, Venus shimmered brightly in the sky like a guidepost for dreamers. There was just a whisper of orange along the horizon, hinting at the sun’s slow, steady rise. My heart thumped with anticipation. This was my first time at the South Rim National Park part of the canyon. The journey felt like a pilgrimage. As we entered the park, sunlight began to filter softly through the evergreens, casting gentle shadows on the winding road. We found fantastic parking in Big Horn Sheep Lot 2 -  a lucky break, given how many others were chasing the same miracle of morning light. I walked ahead, my feet moving...
