People watching on Nicollet Mall.

At 5:15am in the morning, the street lights under the Greenway Bridge bridge are as bright at the early morning sun.

I can’t stop thinking about this. Where can I has miniature giraffe? Did you notice the dogs playing poker at the beginning? How about the Tetris theme at the end? Who ever made this is much the genius.

His name is Gregor, he’s on the ‘facingbook‘ too.

The dog days of summer aren’t here yet, the dog is busy playing in the lake.

Did you know that there’s a Trolley that runs between Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun? You can learn more about the Trolley here. I like to walk the track on my way to and from Harriet from Uptown, it’s a nice quiet little stretch that almost nobody knows about.

The footpath around Lake Harriet.

Green week continues with a fuzzy bunny. I found this little guy grazing between the Lake Street Bridge and Tin Fish by Lake Calhoun. Right next to the footpath, so I got down on the ground and went to work. He watched me curiously for a few minutes before ducking into the brier patch.

It still amazes me how much wildlife is eking out a living in the Metro. I met this guy just off the trail in yesterday’s shot. Luckily, I look like another grazing animal when I’m out photographing, so the deer and rabbits aren’t afraid of me. That’s the trick by the way, wander and poke at the vegetation; predators stare at their prey, vegetarians wander and pick at things. Oh, speaking of rabbits… (come back tomorrow)

As Green Week continues; here’s the nature trail just north of  Lake Harriet. The entrances are  pretty well hidden, but worth the search.
