When does ice breaking, crashing, and scraping mean spring is near? When the frozen Mississippi River begins to thaw!

Every fall for the last six years we have scoured our archived images to find just the right ones for the next calendar. The task is both gratifying and daunting but this year’s results are as exciting as ever! A few selections had been short-listed for the book but didn’t make the cut (we only…
Blogging plans were set aside as we kept extra busy with all the activities a Nauvoo summer season holds plus publishing our Seasons of Nauvoo Book along with wedding, reunion, and portrait sessions.
