Brutal late afternoon of trying to get a shot of downtown Minneapolis
beneath heavy cloud. Got into position and thought the wind was going to
blow over the tripod. Got that secured, started lining up a shot…and
then the rain began to fall. Didn’t bring an umbrella, so that was a
wrap.
Here’s a photo from sunnier moments this past weekend: the
delightful Smiling Pelican Bakeshop in Maiden Rock, WI, with special
guest star The Sunflowers.
Photos mostly from Minneapolis and Saint Paul, but also other places because sometimes I get lost.

Fall Flood Run
The Fall Flood Run has been an annual event around Lake Pepin since 1970, raising money for a number of charities. It's grown to be one of the largest motorcycle runs in the country. There's nothing quite like seeing a line of a hundred or so bikes blazing past, then a couple beautifully restored hot rod cars...and then my station wagon. Yeah, pretty awe-inspiring.
One of the big meeting places this year was at The Pickle Factory in Pepin:
Another was at Ole's in Maiden Rock:
