Land of Lakes

Tom and I went to Minnesota this week and we had a lovely time with his family. It turns out Minnesota is not as lame as we all undoubtedly imagine it is before we go there. Here are several photos of The North Star State.
Patchy clouds over fields.

Fall is a-comin' and it looks like Fruit Loops.

Lake Minnetonka.

Lily pads of Lake Minnetonka.

Lovely steps to the lake from Tom's family's house.



Tom's sweet sisters, Abby and Libby, engaging in a heated staring contest.

View from the dinner table.


Back yard of Rickeman Manor.

Pallates at Tom's grandmother's old farm.

Old lockers from a high school in Hutchinson.



Organ-pipe fountain in downtown Minneapolis.

Manhole cover. Nice one Minnesota.

Parking structure extraordinaire.

Nothing commemorates 9/11 like a Mad Ripple Hootenanny.

Dandelion fountain.


Spoon Bridge and Cherry at the very cool sculpture garden.

  2. re: man-hole cover... in Boston, near one of the farmer's markets, we have little man-hole-type.... embellishments on the ground where the market is held... that depict rotting fruits and vegetables. I feel like this is relevant.

  3. Rotting fruits? No way. I want to see that. Can you photo-snap it someday?
