Wider Shot Of The Fountain

Standing back just a bit to see more of the fountain.

At Last, I See Flowing Water

I've posted a few photos of this statue in Rice Park, downtown St Paul, but until today, I'd never posted one taken during the summer months when the water is flowing.

The Source Is Frozen

"The Source" is the name of the statue on display in Rice Park, located in downtown St Paul. I took this one back in December 07 with cold temps and quite a bit of snow at the time. If I were to visit there today, I would find no snow as it's been above the freezing mark for a good week or so. Slowly the life of the Twin Cities will begin to grow and we can put another winter behind us. Yesterday marks the first day of spring, my favorite time of the year.

For more information on "The Source" please visit Visual St Paul by Kate.

Go Green!!

Or green with envy of this fabulous looking dinosaur that WAS on display up until about two weeks ago. The day I took this photo was the first time I had seen any of these dinosaurs scattered around St Paul. I'm not sure how many in all, but there was more than just this one. Three days later, I made a return visit to the very same sidewalk that this green giant was on display with about twelve other creatively painted dinos. History had repeated itself and all of the dinosaurs had vanished! Gasp! I'm blaming global warming on this recent dino extinction.

When Dinosaurs Ran Wild

Thursday marked the open night of Hockey for the Minnesota Wild. Tonights match up was from the Windy City, Chicago Blackhawks. The Wild were victorious with a 1-0 score. This photo was from this past Saturday's pre-season game. Outside of the Minnesota Science Museum, there sits about a dozen painted dinosaurs. All painted with a different theme. I've seen photos posted of the dino's on the other local photo blogs [St Paul - Kate, St Paul - Kate, St Paul - Carol], but until last Saturday, I had never seen any in person.
