Walked past football fans heading to the game at First Bank Stadium.

Minnehaha Falls (Winter)
Took a train to Minnehaha Park, looked at the Falls, walked home.
Seasonally Appropriate Bike Rack
I’ve walked past this bike rack many times on my way to my Wednesday gig. Today I realized it’s seasonally appropriate, so I took a photo and performed a little image manipulation.
221b Baker Street
Wandered around the University of Minnesota West Bank campus with a friend, testing doors. If a door was unlocked, we walked in. Discovered this re-creation of 221b Baker Street. The University has the world’s largest collection of Sherlock Holmes/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle material.
Green Popping Against Blue
The green roof of the Minneapolis City Hall (built 1888–1909) popped against blue on my Downtown walk. Probably the best-known occupant of City Hall was Hubert Humphrey, mayor from 1945-1948. He became a US Senator, then Vice President in the Johnson administration.
Midwest Mountaineering
On my neighborhood walk, it was hard to walk past Midwest Mountaineering, a top-notch, locally owned outdoor gear and apparel store. Yesterday I did walk in and buy mittens fit for an Arctic expedition.
Woolly Mammoth
Stared down a former resident of Minnesota: a woolly mammoth.
Sepia View
The view became sepia on my walk to Theodore Wirth Park.
Hazel’s
On a Nordeast Minneapolis walk with a friend, stopped into Hazel’s for a caloric brunch. Top-notch food, and art that demanded attention.
Minneapolis Vignettes
On my Downtown walk, the windows of the Marquette Hotel distorted and reflected while the Foshay Tower stood tall.
