I don’t have the chutzpah to pull this off, but this guy is fun to watch. There’s some good lessons to learn from him, watch how he works, you don’t have to chase strangers to learn some new ideas from him.

Saturday Moment of Zen - Who's the Minneapolis Cairn Builder?

Imagine my surprise walking around Lake of the Isles to find not one, but seven cairns on the shore. These are nice ones too, much nicer than my stumbling, awkward attempts. This took some time to build.

These are not far from the big one I found a few weeks ago in Cedar Lake.

More information about Cairns, or Stacked Stones.

The Bronze Rabbit

Along the Minnehaha Creek bike trail, where it crosses Portland Avenue, there is a large bronze rabbit. It showed up in the past few years and I have no idea what his story is. I was biking past him while talking to my dad (yes, on a mobile phone, yes I know). I mentioned the rabbit, which is kind of hard to explain, so here is a pic. Also, the cottonwood trees have been dumping their cotton for the past few weeks, you can see that I managed to get a fluf in the photo: see that white spot at the base of the tree behind the rabbit? It’s an out-of-focus cottonwood seed blowing by.
