Karen Schulz was on a boat ride on the St. Croix River last summer with her husband when they came across several hot air balloons. “Trying to take a photo while in a small boat, rocking in the waves, can be a challenge,” the Stillwater resident says, adding that she hoped to capture the bright colors of a balloon as it neared the water. Schulz grew up taking photos with 4-H and has never stopped. “I almost always have a camera with me when I’m boating or kayaking on the St. Croix River,” she says.
