A Splash Of Color

Lets start your Monday off with a colorful macro shot.

Tops and Bottoms Half Off

I managed to get out and do some shopping during Black Friday. Not something I normally do, but my kids wanted to experience this new shopping tradition. No, I was not one of those standing in line at 4:00 AM. to get the deal of the day. We had breakfast, got a couple things done around the house, THEN we ventured out to one of the smaller local shopping malls.

Coming Soon

This is what it's like to grill outdoors during a Minnesota winter....

Friday Reflections

Round Corners

Now for something completely different. The top corner of the entrance to a very well known fast food joint. The contrasting colors caught my eye while I was waiting in line.

Tugboat Row

Tugboats lined up along shore of the Mississippi River near downtown St Paul.

North Pole Cafe

From Newport, I love this mosaic on the wall outside the North Pole Cafe.

Lazy Sunday

Gate E

One of the entrances to the new Gopher football stadium. I have not been inside to a game yet, being as this was the first season, tickets were a bit tough to get. Not that I tried hard to get them this year. It is on my list of places to see a football game in the future years.

Another View From The Gates

It wouldn't be right to post one side of the stadium and ignore the other. This is the south side of the new TCF Bank Stadium. There is a bit more character on this side with a few more levels, the press box is there somewhere and who knows how many of those are suites.
