Weeks 61–64 of 209 Weeks

This black and white photograph was taken from a hot air balloon near Stillwater, Minnesota. In the foreground, you can see tree tops, a few roofs, and the balloon's shadow. In the background, you see trees and buildings across the river in Wisconsin. In the midground, there is the St Croix River. The river had an odd texture to it, giving it darker and lighter bubbles of exposure.
This black and white photograph shows some toys at a flea market. There is a wooden fish, a shiny pigs wearing a tuxedo while popping out of a can, and a globe being held up by an animal of some sort.

"Hope is a discipline." –Mariame Kaba. Photo notes: This photo was taken near Stillwater, MN on September 6, 2018 when I went on a hot air balloon ride with my stepdad. The odd texture on the St Croix River was a developing mistake. I didn't have enough chemistry in the tank and it foamed, This is also why the top half of the photo is lighter!
