Spring thaw has come, but little traces of fall remain. This was taken in the bog at Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. The frogs or toads were making quite a racket! I had to keep moving or I would sink in. It’s an interesting area right in the city.

The golden canyon walls loom broodingly over the abandoned street.

I’m really starting to enjoy shooting through windows to catch the reflections in the image.

Winter is dragging it’s claws across the Minnesota landscape. Spring has arrived and the battle is in full swing; this morning’s new snowfall is causing traffic accidents and the recent high temperatures (48°F!) have lead to the thin ice on the lakes claiming unsuspecting victims. Spring is a dangerous time in Minnesota, the weather can swing 60° in a day, the weather is completely unpredictable and everyone is so freakin’ sick of winter that we will go running in the 35° rain in shorts. Lock up the firearms and don’t put the shovel away yet.

P.S. I spent a good stretch of time this week retagging all the photos. If you look to the right, you will see a list of tags. It was fun going back through the collection and re-evaluating it. I came up with some new tags like “simple” which are the simple compositions. Check it out.
