Lake Harriet Rose Garden

Before Old Man Winter came to town and killed everything, along with my spirits, I made it over to Lake Harriet Rose Garden in Minneapolis while the roses were still in bloom. I was surprised at how late the roses lasted this year ... well into October.

Below are few photos or a full set here.

10/10/10

Today is 10/10/10. The only day like it this century. Enjoy.

Countryside

Just a few more photos taken while I was out in the country enjoying the sun and fleeting warm temps. Goodbye summer. (tear)

Enjoy the photos.

Goodbye Summer

Well my favorite season is coming to a close. The days are getting shorter ... and colder. Birds are gathering preparing to fly south for the winter. Hay bales are scattered across farmers' fields. And kids are back to school.

Before the summer is over entirely I took a trip with the camera out in the country and snapped a few photos. Enjoy.

So long summer, I'll be cursing the cold deathly chill of a horrible Minnesota winter until you return. Poop.

Flowers

Last week it was my sister's birthday. Let's just say we celebrated her 21st birthday ... again. Below are some photos I took of the birthday flowers she received from a co-worker. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday!

Herbster, WI

This past weekend I was able to get away up to Herbster, WI along the shores of Lake Superior with some good friends. A little swimming, canoeing, kayaking, relaxing, good food and friends. It doesn't get better then that.

Below are a few selects or view the full set here.

Zoo

A couple weeks back I took a trip to the MN Zoo with a few friends to take a few photos to enter a photo-contest. We all had $1000+ cameras taking pictures to try and win a $500 camera. Seems a bit silly.

The morale of this story? People love free stuff ... and I like taking photos.

Enjoy the pics.

Lightning

Last night there were some pretty severe storms rolling through the Twin Cities area. Luckily I had a camera in hand and was able to catch a few lightning strikes. Enjoy.

I'm back...

It's been too long since I had the camera out so I decided to take a few photos this weekend. I took a walk through my parents' garden in the countryside. Up on the menu - flowers and birds. Perfect for a nice summer day. Enjoy.
