I love how this fountain appears to #glow when illuminated after dark. It's been "under repair" for years. Hope they finish repairing it soon.

I'm pretty sure this is what Woody Guthrie meant by "Ribbon of Highway". Northern Wisconsin. #road #autumn #blueskyartshow #photography #eastcoastkin

Pictures I took at the last Twins home game of this season. They beat Cleveland. Maybe next year, buy probably not.

Sometimes, new #angles yield neat results. In this case, I appear equal in size to some skyscrapers downtown.

Boomers, remember Ed McMahon? GenX, remember Andy Richter? Hear me out - Colbert is on the air until May, and he has a second chair for Kimmel.

Even a cloudy day has a certain beauty up north.
Things get real quiet between Labor Day and Fall Colors.

St Paul is my #Home. I grew up 10 miles away in Minneapolis, and was taught that St Paul was the "lesser" of the Twin Cities. But it doesn't suck.

This modern mix of #metal and #glass is actually the #greenhouse to a botanical garden in a St Paul park. Even though it looks like a setting out of a #sciencefiction movie

Up north, of course.

I hate to see Summer end, but fall colors always get me excited to get out and enjoy my surroundings before winter arrives

Minneapolis is my hometown, and my favorite #skyline. This was one of those sunsets that people talk about later.

Breathtaking natural beauty, and a waterfall in the background! Remembering my Pandemic Beard. My wife will never let that happen again. I like how my glasses reflected the treetops.
