Urban hike in falling snow: 10-mile loop following railroads all the way. Some “No Trespassing” signs were ignored.

Misty walk with a friend round Lake Nokomis. We made it before the rain started in earnest.

Posted my worst travel fail, ever.

Abandoned railroad track near Fort Snelling. We listened for ghost trains.

Ice fishing houses, Forest Lake, gray day. I was enjoying a peaceful walk while the nephews were at school.

Spotted these knitted tree warmers at French Meadow. I warmed up inside with Cajun hash browns.

On my run round the lake, today…

Soldered LEDs, resistors, and wires. Next week, we’ll use these lights to build Christmas ornaments with our nephews.

Bus to NE edge of Minneapolis. Walked back home through a variety of neighborhoods including postindustrial Nordeast.

Pastry, coffee, mittens: Wuollet Bakery, at the end of my run.

Paused at some (presumably) guerrilla art on my walk round Lake of the Isles today.

Posted about airline and railroad changes of gauge.

Walker Art Center, an escape from Black Friday.

My favorite holiday: cook, chat, eat, no gifts, be grateful.

It’s going to be a white Thanksgiving.

Accidental shot, Minneapolis, on my way to The Dakota, for Sharon Isbin, Romero Lubambo, Spain, Brazil, warm places.
