Bike Trail around Lake Harriet

I love the trail on the south end of Lake Harriet, it’s a tunnel of trees and when everything is green, it a beautiful ride.

Cedar-Isles Canal

The Uptown Chain of Lakes are connected in many different ways, Calhoun and Lake of the Isles are connected by a lagoon, but Isles and Cedar are connected by a canal. While out on a walk with my friend Sam, we crossed the canal on a small bridge near the old railroad bridge.  The cottonwood trees were doing their thing: you can see the haze on the water from all the fluff. By the time we came out of the woods, we were both covered in cottonwood fluff and inchworms.

Saturday Moment of Zen on Ice

On one of my safaris across the lake I encountered this pair just sitting in the middle of the lake. Not fishing, just sitting. Nothing going on, no kite boarders, nothing really at all. I switched to my long lens to drag the shoreline in and moved to position the sun to catch the glint of the ice.

Just as I was ready to shoot, the one got up to take a picture of the other. The spectators themselves became the spectacle and they knew it too.

In the instant of the open shutter, when I’m actually working and intentionally doing nothing at the same time; the true photographic moment of zen, I called all three of us into question.

Mama said there’d be days like this…

The long days of winter are upon us: Christmas is long gone and the medallion has been found, not much else to look forward to until spring’s eventual release.

Minneapolis has so much to offer: quiet lakes with snowy white beaches…

Snowed-in Life Guard

Judging by the footprints in the snow, this life-guard boat is a popular shoreline hangout. Such is life on Cedar lake in the dead of winter.

Calhoun Lake Fort width=

Who builds a fort in the middle of the lake? As far as I can tell, some ice fishermen got bored and built a wind break. Pretty cool actually. Especially the part where I had to walk out to the middle of the lake to figure out what the heck it was.
