It’s Art a Whirl weekend in Northeast Minneapolis, so husband and I whirled around to different studios today, seeing friends and new art spaces.
This is day 138 of Photo 365.

Chuck Taylors
Sometimes it’s all work and no play, even if you’re at a conference in Las Vegas. Today was stacked with keynote speakers, workshops, a taxi ride with an interesting cabbie, security checkpoints and a flight home. So today’s 136 of Photo 365 is just a picture of feet of a conference attendee. You had to know feet would appear sooner or later.
Photo 365 project extra
Another Las Vegas hotel, Bellagio, has beautiful gardens, a butterfly house and this glass ceiling. Lovely.
The Venetian
The hotels in Las Vegas are truly over the top, as demonstrated at places like The Venetian Hotel and Resort.
This is day 135 of Photo 365.
A little Paris in Las Vegas
A business conference has me in Las Vegas for a few days, so after networking events yesterday I hit the Strip. I have a similar photo of the real Eiffel Tower on my desk at home that was taken back in 2005. I must love this angle because I couldn’t help but take it again. Viva Las Vegas.
This is day 134 of Photo 365.
Minnesota marriage
Today the Minnesota Senate passed a gay marriage bill, making Minnesota the 12th state to do so. Tomorrow Governor Mark Dayton will sign the bill into law.
In celebration of the bill most assumed would pass, Saint Paul Mayor Chris Coleman had these flags placed on the Wabasha Street Bridge today and declared the bridge the “Freedom to Marry Bridge” for the week.
The Twitterverse lit up this afternoon in celebration of the passage. One tweet that made me pause was a statement that went something along the lines of, “Proud of my state. Proud my daughter will never know marrying someone you love was once illegal.”
This is day 133 of Photo 365.
Buddha’s altar
Today as I was letting my paint dry at the nail salon, I noticed a salon worker enter the building and bend down to place something on the floor. I leaned back to get a better view and saw this altar to Buddha tucked in the corner at the front entrance. Interesting. I now need to research the symbolism of each piece.
This is day 132 of Photo 365.
Saturday clouds
Crazy cold winds equal nice clouds. Go figure. This is day 131 of Photo 365.
Going up?
Husband saw this angle at The Lowry in downtown Saint Paul yesterday, so I can’t take full credit. But I had to run back and see what I could do with it. If I had a woman in a red dress on the landing, it would be perfect.
This is day 130 of Photo 365.
