On our walk, spotted these yarn bombs. A sign reminded us today is the winter solstice, and invited us to take one of the macramé stars. We didn’t take one, a photo sufficed. “From this point forward we begin our journey back to the light.”

Perfect Perch
It was a perfect day to get outside, meet a friend, ride our bikes, and stand at our favorite perch to watch trains going by.
A Safe Place to Sit
On my walk through the University of Minnesota’s East Bank campus, it wasn’t too cold to sit outside and enjoy a coffee.
William O’Brien State Park
Hiked William O’Brien State Park on frozen ground lightly dusted with snow.
Light Rail Construction
Our cycle route included several diversions to avoid construction of a light rail system. This elaborate bridge and viaduct will take the cycle trail over an existing freight track, light rail tracks, and a busy road.
Afton State Park
Hiked Afton State Park: St. Croix River bluffs, prairie, woods, undulating trails, overlooks.
Trail Lunch
Our hall table, items for a state park hike tomorrow. Earlier today, ducked into Trader Joe’s to pick up supplies. The store had been reorganized yet again, I couldn’t find gorp in the usual spot, so grabbed the first things I saw. Lunch on the trail will be good, it always is.
Minneapolis Viewpoint
Found this Minneapolis viewpoint on my cycle ride.
Zig and Zag
Cycled to St. Paul’s Lake Como with a friend. On the way back, zigged and zagged up a ramp to get to this pedestrian bridge. Once, it must have traversed more than the two rail tracks below.
Fading to Grey
On my walk: snow fell and the towers of Downtown slowly faded to grey.
