I Will Share Your Tears

Great concert by Tenth Avenue North tonight.  Very inspirational to me.  These guys have their heads screwed on straight.

Here is the official music video to go with today's blog.

Webby Bokeh

The wind was blowing this web so hard that I'm surprised it isn't totally blurred.

Lovely Hastings Evening

A Friday evening commute on the trike took a detour to Hastings.  Lovely weather today!

Candy Apple Red

A gem I found from 2009 for Throwback Thursday.  When I was at the Donnie Smith Bike Show.

I Miss Mom

From the 2008 archives.  My mom lived with me at the time, so she was an always available photography subject.  For fun, she let me color her hair.  The vibrant color and lack of significant wrinkles made her look much younger than her years.

Watch Me Neigh Neigh

Found this gem from 2008.

Romancing the Mower

Ok, I need someone to write a romance novel and use this as the cover art.  Anyone?  Anyone?

The absurdity of making a lawnmower look soft and romantic reminds me of another blog pic from long ago.

The Lawn Looks Great, Dad

Stormy Weather

Dramatic sky + dramatic bridge + dramatic photographic treatment = the perfect storm for my 800th consecutive blog.

Nice Dam Day

Another of my "lost" images from 2012.

Let's Ride

With everything going on in the U.S.  the past few days, I think it's time for some Cycle Therapy.

WPA Water Tower

This limestone water tower, built in 1939, was part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration program to provide people with jobs during the Great Depression.  It was decommissioned in 1965 when the park switched to city water.

Found this image, taken in 2012, while browsing my Lightroom library.

Vibrant Poofball

I didn't watch fireworks for the Fourth this year, so here's a throwback Thursday from 2015.

Dam Construction

The Lake Byllesby Dam in Cannon Falls has been undergoing major construction.

I have been coming to this site since the 1980s.  While it is nice to now have a pedestrian bridge over the river in order to take shots like this, it is bittersweet that I will no longer be able to walk out on the waterfalls portion.

Manly Man

A manly man can be asked to hold onto his wife's flowery umbrella, and he will not only hold it, but he will walk the dog while using it.  I love my man.

Attention to Details

More from our brief visit to the historic district of Northfield last Sunday.

This is ornamentation on the end of the Central Block building, built in 1893.
