The Peer

The sunset from Lake Nielsen.

The Message

It reads....

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by

Can anyone fill me in on the rest of the phrase? I didn't have a chance to ask her what the remainder said.

End Of Days

As the sun set on another day, downtown St Paul darkens.

More Cowbell

An unexpected find in the heart of St Paul while traveling along Randolph Avenue. I spotted what looked like a cow standing in the front yard, so I had to make a u-turn for a closer inspection. This artwork is an old oil drum from the home of a St Paul home, painted to look like a cow. The head is a large milk jug, with a bowl for the mouth. Interesting idea....

Harriot Island Peer

The peer is a hidden treasure at Harriot Island, across from downtown St Paul. One can find lots of boats of all sizes, friendly faces, place to watch sunsets, a place for romantic walks, a restaurant and a bed and breakfast.

Friendly Company

Yesterday I mentioned having dinner at the River Boat Grill on the Harriot Island peer. During our dinner date, another couple sat down at the table next too us. They happened to be on a walk with the dog, which joined them at their table. The restaurant owners were kind enough to bring water out for the collie as the heat and humidity levels that evening were very high that evening.

Spectacular Sunset

While having dinner at the River Boat Grill restaurant on the Harriot Island peer, we were treated to this spectacular sunset. We had good food, great company and the sunset was the icing on the cake.

Theme Day: Bright Colors

For the August 2010 Theme Day in the Daily Photo community, the them of 'Bright Colors' was selected. All week I've been posting photos from the Flugtag 2010 from St Paul at Harriot Island. One particular craft was so bright in colors, it was perfect for today's theme day photo. The craft was from Team S.W.A.T., essentially it resembles a great big florescent yellow mosquito.
