Little Bunch of Leaves on the Lake

I found this little bunch of leaves near the shore. Not really sure if it was attached to something under the snow or if it fell off. I plunked down on my belly and shot it with my macro lens wide open to get the shallow depth of field but with sharp details in the focused area. The low glancing light from the setting sun lit it perfectly. Nature has such detail and beauty, even in the windswept cold of winter.

Minneapolis Snow

It's finally snowed up here in the great midwestern plains. It's been a long wait, last year at this time, we'd had 9 major snow storms and we had completely run out of places to put it. As Joe Soucheray would say, we needed to practice 'space management' in a big way. As you can see from this image, it's barely any snow at all, yet the highways are stopped and everyone's driving like a Floridian.

Sunset Over Lake Calhoun

Another winter day comes to an end. We finally have snow here in Minneapolis. It's been unseasonable warm; strange to be reminded what winter is supposed to look like here.

Little Diggin' Around on the Mississippi

Seen from the top of the 10th Ave Bridge, this crew seems to be rebuilding the storm drains to the river, but I'm not exactly sure. I'll need an engineer to be sure.

Stacked Snow

When there's no wind, the snow can stack up nicely on trees.

Clearing the Snow on Lake of the Isles

The Minneapolis Parks Department does a fantastic job taking care of the lakes. Usually the paths around the lakes are in better shape than the roads.

Lonely City in the Snow

When I was out in the storm with Snapshutter, we stopped to get out of the snow under at this little market. All the different lights caught my eye. It reminded me a little of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. Oh yes, that's the famed Snapshutter on the phone in the corner.

Snow and pools of light fall upon the quiet street.
