Way Out West

Up and did it. After many months of planning and packing and more packing and a few family issues sidetracking us a couple times and shedding various personal effects and more packing, me and Mrs. Twin Cities Seen closed down the Saint Paul residence and moved west of the river to Minneapolis. Looking forward to getting back into a regular routine with the picture taking and making.

The Cascades

Was surprised to read that this is considered one of the less popular waterfalls along the Baptism River; my first impression was one of awe. But this was only my first trip into Tettegouche State Park, so no doubt there are plenty more wow moments ahead. Already looking forward to going back.

Catch of the Day

Things are greening up outdoors now that the calendar is past mid-April, but this is Minnesota, so winter releases its grip reluctantly. Chilly conditions didn't stop this hearty soul from trying his hand at a little early-morning fishing at Como Lake.

Hello Hi-Lo

Dusk falls at one of my favorite dining spots in the Twin Cities: great staff, great menus, great drinks, great ambiance, great sign. If you haven’t been there yet, add it to your to-do list right quick.
