Lover's Lane Lighting News

———

OK, I know I have yammered on long enough about the Lover's Lane lighting, but it has been such a positive experience, that it is hard to stop talking about it.

We have now moved all of the lanterns down to the creek where they will live out their final day hiding out from the sun. The temperatures are supposed to be in the high 40's, so we will see, but we are hoping to light one last time.

Capturing Ice Lanterns

____

Ice lanterns are notoriously unphotogenic. In truth, they are best experienced in person an hour or so after the sun has set. I try my best to take photos at that magic twilight time where one can make out the surroundings and the architecture of the globe as well as the glow, but I usually come away with the same feeling - that I just cannot do them justice.

Winter Lover's Lane Reflections

Last night was wonderful!

Tom and I loved that friends and neighbors who received our note, came out to see the ice lantern display along the creek and even brought friends! 

It was especially delightful to see the moments of true serendiptiy:

People out for their constitutional with their dogs who walked through wondering what was happening. We heard several times, "Is someone proposing?"  

Pumpkins and Sunsets

Ahh… Halloween night..  orange pumpkins and orange sunsets.

The other day I came across an Article:  The Picasso of Pumpkin Carving in the Wall Street Journal.   It's about Ray Villafane, Pumpkin carver extraordinaire.

Then later that day I was driving along an interstate in the farmlands of Wisconsin and witnessed the most glorious orange sunset.

Stay Connected!

Wintercraft is going through some changes!

We're preparing ourselves for another Minnesota winter and for the first time using a blog, a YouTube channel, Twitter, and Facebook.
