Carnival Lights

The magic of lights in motion out in the Midway at the Minnesota State Fair. I believe the ride is called 'Cliff Hanger'. You lay on a metal frame, similar to superman flying .

Minnesota State Fair

The great Minnesota get together runs from August 26 through Labor Day, September 6. Took the family there on Sunday for the sites, sounds and people watching. My feet are very tired. In 2009, the MN State Fair set an attendance record with 1,790,497 people visiting the grounds.

Fantasy Football 2010

Friday evening was the 5th annual, Fantasy Football draft night for 'The League To Be Named Later', held in my garage. You're getting an exclusive look into the best run, fantasy league held in the Twin Cities. Now I must pay homage to the commish of the now defunct, Apple Valley Football League, as my league is based upon the previously best run fantasy football league in the Twin Cites. If my old commish were to see these photos, he would certainly see the similarities from just the photos alone. Now I've tweaked a few things to my liking, like the draft board, plus it's now an auction league, but the basic format of the AVFL lives on. Thank you Terry for all you hard work!!

  

They're Sending A Message

It appears to be the current trend of the upcoming elections in November....

Texas Rueben

Sandwich, soup and a free shuttle ride to the Twins ballpark on the corner of Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue.

James And The Giant Mushroom

The sequel to the book 'James and the Giant Peach'. Okay, I made that up. I did find this mushroom on a recent camping trip. It was the size of a grapefruit and the setting sun gave it the perfect lighting.

A Perfect Location

From the sixth floor window of the Northland Inn, located in Maple Grove, my wife spotted this birds in the "A" of their sign. It was a surprise find indeed and something you would be able to see from the ground level. We never saw any birds fly to the nest, but some bird will have a great location for next spring.

Danger, Keep Out!

Really now? See that 'danger keep out' sign with the fence, the wall as high as your knee, plus the heavily traveled walking path....could you keep out? Or would you, like I did, venture fourth down the trail?

Little Buttons

I'm not sure what these are, but they reminded me of yellow buttons.

Refresh

The ground crew at Target Field smooths out the infield dirt between innings at the Minnesota Twins game.
