Lake of the Isles Apple Blossoms

Lying below a flowering apple tree, I shot up into the tree with a wide-angle lens to capture the tree and the blue sky together. I was drawn to the vignette of color that comes from shooting towards the sun as well and the shift inside the tree from the light green to the red flowers.

Busy Tree

Winter takes it's toll eventually; pretty soon everything needs to have the Christmas-tree treatment. Extra credit: find Mr. Bill.

Harriet Trolley in the Green

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.

Nature Trail by Lake Harriet

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

Luscious Green

It's green week at Mitchster.com. Now that summer is really, really here I thought I'd share some of what makes winter tolerable here. This was taken on the nature trail north of Lake Harriet.

Fallen Island Tree

One of my favorite things about living on Lake of the Isles in the winter is the ability to visit the islands (they are bird sanctuaries the rest of the year). his tree fell over years ago, but still hangs on.

This leafless red oak and my friend Sam are having a bad hair day.
