Breathing in the Crisp Air of St. Croix River, Stillwater
Strolling through here was a surreal experience. The light breeze flowed its way through the small historical town, but still let the sun warm our faces.
Wandering through Main Street Stillwater, Minnesota, the historical downtown side streets during a fall day were a breathtaking experience.
Standing overview, the St. Croix River with the cool autumn breeze blowing by was soothing and healing. At the edge of the lift bridge, one can stand between two states – being in two different places at the same time. How remarkable is that?
Walking through the village on Main Street on the Minnesota side of St. Croix River it was teeming with independent owner-operated stores with store fronts overflowing with antiques, books, and small decorative ornaments or trinkets from around the globe and locally.
Overview from the draw bridge.
‘oh how wonderful the designs of this world are. With seeming and being of what this world is.
The energy, visual, sound, feel, and scent from this adventure was out of this world. While sauntering through this gem one senses changes from one onto another. The scent of holistic apothecaries transforms into the sweet scent of homemade candies into workshops of the logging era. The touch of smooth clay pottery becomes soft plush materials into cooled running water.
