The Dragon and the Lotus

More bugs! More flowers! More bugs on flowers!

Magic Beans

More dead flowers! Or something. Wild blue indigo seed pods turn a silvery charcoal color in the fall, and dried seeds rattle around in brittle pods when the wind blows. Imagine an entire symphony of baby rattles...

Bridge to Somewhere

Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, the actual point of all this really is to get you from one place to another. The Wabasha Street bridge in downtown St. Paul opened to
traffic in July of 1998, but the elaborate stair towers on either side took an additional three years to complete.

Flour mill surplus. Lightly used. (Actually, its from the Washburn-Crosby mill. Perhaps its a fire sale?)

Gone Fishing

Trout lilies come up thick in places, so that long before the trees have their leaves back the forest floor is a sea of green. There might be a hundred lush green plants that don't flower in a given year for every one that does.

Skyline Fantasy

My favorite view of Minneapolis, looking downstream from Broadway Ave.
