Area photographer Lisa Townsend embraces winter on the open water of the St. Croix River. “I love my time spent with the swans,” Townsend says. This particular morning, the light was just right as a swan flapped its wings, she says, adding that the swan’s colors and gaze are her favorite elements of this award-winning image.
