Flying home to Minnesota today meant arriving in a snowstorm, and everyone with a window seat was watching the white out conditions as we bumped-bumped-bumped into the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport.

Happy face
A few free hours this afternoon gave me time to explore San Diego’s Balboa Park. It is my new favorite city park (until I visit Central Park again). San Diego has done a spectacular job with the landscape.
This was one of those scenes that produced such joy. People were enjoying a lazy afternoon at the fountain, a dog jumped into the water and splashed around to everyone’s delight, and the sky smiled down on us all. Perfection, if not for a brief moment of day 40 of Photo 365.
Lifeguard stand
A business conference kept me in meetings for most of the day, but I was able to sneak to the beach for a few minutes before dinner.
This is day 39 of Photo 365.
Ocean view
A room mix up at Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego put their customer service team on full alert. It was no biggie to me but I got an upgrade with a view.
This is day 38 of Photo 365.
Toys
Cat toys, that is. Arbus has lots of catnip mice friends to keep her occupied.
This is day 37 of Photo 365.
Anthony Scornavacco
Part museum, part antique dealer, Anthony Scornavacco is a classic in downtown Saint Paul.
This is day 36 of Photo 365.
City abstract
This was my favorite abstract today – a quiet city, yet in motion.
I hope you enjoyed day 35 of Photo 365. Do you have a favorite abstract between the two? Let me know.
Bus abstract
I went looking for an abstract tonight. The light was bouncing off frozen streets and the fresh snow gave everything a glow.
The problem? I actually had two abstracts I liked. This is the runner up for day 35 – a blurred image of a Metro Transit bus barreling through downtown to make all of the green lights.
Finding Nemo
Our hosts for the Super Bowl had a fish tank with Nemo! I apologize for the grain; the light wasn’t the best. But a real live Nemo felt worthy of the spotlight, regardless of the photo quality.
This is day 34 of Photo 365.
Forever Saint Paul
Volunteers are currently putting together an enormous Lite-Brite mural inside the Saint Paul Union Depot in an effort to break a Guinness World Record for Largest Picture Made by Lite-Brite. The work of art, titled “Forever Saint Paul,” was designed by Ta-coumba Aiken, a well known and respected artist in Lowertown. The project will launch the Forever Saint Paul Challenge, a $1 million grant for the best idea of making the city of Saint Paul greater than she already is.
Anyone in the community is welcome to come to Union Depot until February 15 between the hours of 12:00-8:00 p.m. to help install lights into the mural. The official lighting ceremony is at 7:00 p.m. on February 16 at Union Depot.
These volunteers and Lite-Brite pieces are day 33 of Photo 365.
