The Saint Paul Athletic Club is re-opening next month, and tonight I got a first glimpse at the restorations inside this grand dame. At nearly 100 years old, she is lovely, and I couldn’t stop staring at the ceilings and chandeliers. This is day nine of Photo 365.
The Mall of America can be a sanctuary in the middle of a Minnesota winter day. The stores are built around a full-fledged kiddie amusement park, complete with a roller coaster, water ride and Ferris wheel. Since I work nearby, I sometimes like to visit the park over lunch to take in the warmth, sounds of children at play, and light filtering in through the skylights above. This carousel is a favorite, and day eight of my Photo 365 project.
This colorful flower was a welcomed sight on a brisk January day.
If you live in Minnesota or Wisconsin, the Border Battle is a big deal to football fans. Since I’m only a KU Jayhawks men’s basketball and NHL hockey fan, this match-up is just fun to watch. As a side note: photo was taken at a personal favorite place in Wisconsin with free wifi, and the Packers had just scored a touchdown.
As my high school theology professor used to pray before every game, “May the best talent win, and may no one suffer life changing pain.”
Day 4 of Photo 365: Winter Skate in downtown Saint Paul on a lovely night.
Every First Thursday in Northeast Minneapolis the art district throws open its studio doors. Husband and I went to the Solar Arts Building tonight to check out the art, and this door (and its breaking of the rules) made me giggle.
The Union Depot in the Lowertown district of downtown Saint Paul, Minn. was recently renovated, and it’s a beautiful display of light, both inside and out. This picture was taken outside the Depot on my evening stroll through the neighborhood.
