Happy New Year!

Dec 22-28 Wally

Ibis at "Ibis Corner" on the south beach.

Dec 15-21; Jack

Here is what happens when it is below zero outside, you are bored and you have not taken any pictures for the week. Not really in the same holiday spirit as Wally.

Dec 15-21 Wally

Run, run, as fast as you can.........

Jean and Wally

Dec 8-14 Wally

The first of a series (maybe) of Holiday Cheer shots.

Ho Ho Ho

Dec 8-14; Jack

Seasons Greetings

This large decorated tree sits on a bluff over looking Cedar Ave not too far from the Mall of America. We have enjoyed it every Christmas season so I finally tracked it down and took this picture.

Dec 1-7 2008 Wally

Since we're doing cats.......

Maggie, Thanksgiving day

Nov 24-30 Wally

Looking north along the beach after sunset.

Nov 17-23 Wally

Let's make it an all bird week. Here is a Ruddy Turnstone and a Black Bellied Plover (in winter white).

Nov 17-Nov 23; Jack

Woody? This Pileated Woodpecker stopped by our back yard this week and I was lucky enough to have my camera near by.

Far from the madding crowd........

What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday, during the sand sculptures, there were about 60 boats and thousands of people wandering along the beach. Now with the temperature in the 60's instead of low 80's it takes on a whole different look.

Nov 10-16; Jack

Minnehaha Falls, Minneapolis

Aha!

You think Sarah Palin is the only one who can go rougue? Here's a picture I took while Wally was wimping out in the condo, sick or something.

Nov 3-9 Wally

Nice balance to Jack's chilly shot, don't you think?

Nov 3-Nov 9; Jack

First significant snow of the season, Friday November 7th. Crystal Lake in Burnsville.

Oct 27-Nov 2; Jack

This won't make the cover of Sports Illustrated, however I am fairly happy how it turned out. I have decided if I am going to be a photo geek I might as well take my camera to places I have not in the past. This is from the Vikings and Houston Texans game on Sunday. I have some shots of the cheerleaders that Wally probably would have preferred.

October 27 - November 2 Wally Heading South

One thing I always have to do is take pictures of the clothes I leave here for the winter so next spring I don't have to carry too much stuff back on the trip home to Minnesota.

Oct 20-26 Wally

This is what you get when you don't get out to take pictures. It's a day lily right outside our living room window.

Oct 20-26; Jack

St. Paul Cathedral. This is another shot I have been wanting to try for a while.

October 13-19 Wally

Autumn in Minnesota being berry, berry good to me.....

Oct 13-19; Jack

I think this says it all. I found this sign north of Princeton, MN on a short photo road trip this weekend.

October 6-12 Wally

In Millennium Park, Chicago, is the Cloud Gate structure by Anish Kapoor. It is known locally as the Bean. We were lucky to be there on a beautiful sunny day which really showed off the Bean's ability to reflect the surrounding buildings.

Oct 6 - 12; Jack

I went on a road trip today looking for fall foliage and roadside attractions and found some old cars instead. I liked several of the shots, however decided on this one.

Sept 29-Oct 5; Jack

Spotted these "wild" grapes growing along the west shore of Crystal Lake in Burnsville. Someone must have planted them once upon a time.

Sept 29- Oct 5 Wally

You never know where a decent picture will come from. This is from a display in front of Village Market Grocery in Prior Lake.

Sept 22-28 Wally

Great Minds????

Sept 22-28, Jack

Minneapolis skyline from Boom Island. I have been wanting to try some nighttime skyline pictures for a while and this is my first effort.

Sept 1-7; Jack

Horrible industrial accident? Terrible foot fungus? No, just a grape stomp at Crofut Winery in Jordan.

Sept. 1-7 Wally Frontenac Grapes

A beautiful reminder of our visit to the Crofut Winery in Jordan, Minnesota.

August 25-31; Jack

Hibiscus from our deck

August 25-31 2008 Wally

One of the many strange sculptures at Franconia Sculpture Garden, near Taylor's Falls, Minnesota.

August 18-24 2008 Wally Ugly and Hungry

Young cardinals are not the most beautiful. Here's one almost through his ugly duckling phase.

Aug 18-24; Jack

I had several options for this week. Wally wanted me to post a State Fair picture, however I opted for this tree frog I found on our deck.

Aug 11-17 Wally

The only picture I took this week so here it is.
