Final Farewell to Indian Summer.

A sighting....

While walking at

Dodge Nature center I heard loud call.

I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this Piliated Woodpecker.

This week on the Mississippi

St. Paul is prepared for flooding

although the levels are not nearly as high as they were in the spring.

Stone Arch Bridge

North Shore

Nothing is better than

fall on the North Shore.

The perfect fall day

No work got done today.

It was a beautiful weather.

In the morning,

my aunt Carole and I took a walk along the creek.

In the afternoon,

I took a leisurely bike ride around Mendota

and spotted these turkeys.

A Day at the Fair

I really wanted to photograph the Muscled ,tattooed ,tough -looking guy

who was taking pictures of the rabbits.

But I was too scared to do so.

Checking out the competition.

Depends come in handy in the poultry barn.

Did you know they spray paint the horses hooves?

I am not sure what fantasy was being acted out here. Something involving bejeweled women and midget horses.

The people of Europe must have been jealous of our Grandstand.

My Dad recalls seeing these locomotive crashes when he was a kid.

He thought they were boring.
