A melting snow bank in my driveway made for a unique photo opportunity.

A rare view of empty seats in the Excel Energy Center arena.

Forgotten Flowers

What's interesting about this photo is the time of the year this photo was taken, right at the end of February, after some of the winter's snow has melted away. A survivor from the 2009 growing season has stood tall and is waiting for spring to arrive. For how much snow gets dumped on the plant during the snowy months, for it to be in this good of condition was a surprise.

Outdoor Hallway

Above me is the southbound traffic of Highway 61, just ahead is the northbound lanes. If you look closely, you can see a vehicle parked in a lot. The lot leads to a walking path that eventually leads to Battle Creek Park.

The Life Of The Snow Village

2010-03-03T00:49:00.002-06:00

This snow village was spotted by cmc and photographed by swc over the past week. I'm surprised by all of the props the snowmen have or are wearing to some degree. Though, we've made it into March and the sun's rays are starting to warm. The past two days and the next few should melt away all of the hard work that went into this snow village

March Theme Day: Passageway

What you're looking at is a path in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area between two lakes. I cannot recall what lakes we were portaging on at the time of this photo, possibly it was Adventure Lake or Jitterbug Lake. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Go On, You Can Have It

It's a free couch for the taking. I've gotta say, I've never seen a couch thrown up, high on a snow bank with a "free" sign attached to it before. It really stood out to me and thankfully I had my camera by my side.

Corvette Pan Out

2010-02-27T00:21:00.004-06:00

At the request of Mirela of Zagreb Daily Photo, I'm posting a broader photo of Thursday's Corvette Stingray. This unfortunately is the biggest photo I have of the Corvette.

Corvette Stingray

Hopefully a Corvette Guru can leave a comment on the year of this Stingray, I'm unsure by what's available in the photo. I captured this from the 2006 Car Craft Summer Nationals held at the State Fair Grounds. The candy apple red with the pearl coat gave the fender a really awesome look.

Soldiers And Sailors Cemetery

2010-02-24T00:16:00.004-06:00

This cemetery is in Hastings along the bluffs. I've passed it several times, but the day I took the photo, the tree was very inviting. Was not very pleased with the brightness and contrast of my capture, so I will return here in the future. Plus, I haven't researched this cemetery and this will give me an excuse to do so.

Ice On A Stick

2010-02-23T00:50:00.002-06:00

A nice ice formation collecting on a branch as the snow melted down.

Through The Fog

2010-02-21T01:01:00.004-06:00

Time for a capture from another photographer in the family. Today's photo is the first from my daughter. She has captured downtown St Paul through the fog, smoke and everything else in between.

one more contribution from njc from last weekends fabulous snow/fog

Frosting Trees

2010-02-19T00:23:00.001-06:00

We had a very interesting snow storm, furies, fog, fluffy, very light, not much of anything really roll through town last weekend....oh what a sight mother nature left for us. Trees were frosted from top to bottom. I've seen people take a photo like this and make a negative of the photo which makes the trees look like this. This photo is the real deal. I gave my son the camera while I was driving as he had the best view on his side of the car. He captured a couple of decent shots along our journey....

Lava

2010-02-17T00:21:00.004-06:00

Is it me, or does the frozen water over the waterfall look like it could be melting or dripping candle wax?

Purple Sky

2010-02-16T00:35:00.003-06:00

The colors for this one turned out rather odd. The sun had set, maybe 20 minutes ago. Cloudy sky, street lights on and freshly fallen snow. Exposure was only 1.6 seconds, but the photo turned out very bright for how dark it was at the time. Gotta love snow brightening everything up like it does....

Stairs Closed Again

Same location as yesterday's photo, but a completely different view.

High Rise

An swc contribution photo today. Having the two hot air balloons in the frame, each with iconic symbols of our country, has quite a message.
