This is a panoramic from on top of th St. Paul Highbride. I really should have gone back to get this at night. Regardless, I am happy with the outcome.
Capitol Lights
This is a nother wonderful picture of the Capitol. Very very pleased at how this turned out.
Cathedral Nights
This is the Cathedral in St Paul. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shoot. I think this is my favorite picture of the whole experience of renting the L Lens.
Split Rock Lighthouse
This is the picture that started it all. This picture is the reason I rented the lens in the first place. I couldn't be happier about how it turned out!
Fishing in the Falls
This is one of my favorites. I really like the guy fishing in it. I think he adds a bunch of life to the picture.
Floor Tile
Just a bit of abstract art. This is the ground of one of the sculptures at the art center.
Cherry Spoon
This is a picture of... well, I am not sure what it is ACTUALLY called, so I call it Cherry Spoon. I ran it through Photoshop to make the cherry stand out as it does.
Prespective
I am so excited about the pictures I took this pas weekend, I hardly know where to start. I rented a cannon L Lens which is their top of the line almost too good for professionals camera lens family. I think the quality is obvious in the picture. I hope you feel the same.
This is a sculpture at the Walker Art center in Minneapolis.

Plum Tree Close Up
Here is the closeup of the Plum Tree flowers. It is one of my favorite features in the yard.
Plum Tree
This is my Plum Tree in the front yard. He is kinda a pain to mow under but a beautiful tree regardless.
Growing in the grass
I found this guy growing in my grass today. Too bad I am going to whack him down with my mower this weekend.

Benches
You see, the flood is not that deep... just deep enough to cause trouble.
And make everything smell like river water.

Flooded lift bridge
Here is the Stillwater lift bridge flooded out. Well, close anyways. They did close the road.
Flood waters run deep
I went down to the riverfron in Stillwater when the flood was at its crest. It was kind of neat to see everything buried in water and all the riverbanks sandbagged. Fortunately the damage wasn't very severe as teh riverfront is accustomed to the deeper waters.
The Intimidator
Dale Earnhardt Sr. April 29, 1951 - February 18, 2001
Today was the last day that Dale Sr's car was going to be displayed in front of NASCAR at the Mall of America. I had to get a picture because he was one of the greatest of all time. He died in a crash on the last turn of the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.

The competition
These are the pies I had to compete against. I came in dead last... Epic filling fail...
GET IN THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ME SOME PIE!!
This is the Strawberry Pie I made for a family pie bake off. This is the strawberry pie that took dead last place. Epic filling fail. But it looks good.
Great Job!
We spent a weekend down with Jeff in Iowa where he introduced us to Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show Great Job! Each show ends with a still shot and the caption Great Job. Much as is in this picture, the reference rarely makes sense...
Project 365 update
Well, I have fallen way off the wagon in my updates based mostly on the fact that I do not like posting just anything on my picture blogs. I think my posts should be something I am proud of instead of just shlock to fill spaces. Thus I have deviated from my original plan of one picture per day and opted to post work I am proud of and is meaningful to me. There will still be many updates, just not one every day. However, we are coming into spring finally and thsi is the beautiful picture taking season now. I am hopeful for the many wonderful things I will be able to capture as the year goes on.

Project 365 49
Here we have a during picture. The old wall on the left and the new blue on the right.
Project 365 52
So my camera is officially 1 year old. I love it. Naturally I am ready for an upgrade but that doesn't seem to be anywhere on the horizon currently. However I have been trying to capture this for the past year. My kitty Nalla was playing with her mouse this morning which is one of the very cutest things she does.
Project 365 51
So we went to a party at Lee and Dee's today. They asked us to bring desert. I made pies. I carved my initials in the top just so people would know they were home made. Although they are upside down here...

Maren has started cutting in the walls and she did a great job and worked really hard at it.
Project 365 45
Maren made Cornish Hens for Valentines day. Yum-O But not a lot of meat on those guys. It was a wonderful dinner though. One of my better Valentines Days ever.

project 365 44
So I woke up this morning to frost covering all the trees in my yard. This was all sorts of beautiful, and I had to take a picture of it. Truly a winter wonderland.
project 365 43
I went Tubing with Maren, Kristie and BJ tonight. It was super awesome. Personally I think the best part was at TGIFridas for dinner when I photo jacked 6 different birthday pictures.

Project 365 32
This IS exciting. I actually took this picture a couple of weeks ago but have had to wait to share it with you due to corporate policy. However today Thomson Reuters has publicly announced the existence of Westlaw Next and has put the legal world and our competitors on notice.
This is an upgrade to our already top of the line Westlaw service. This takes a good thing and makes it great. Nobody out there has anything even close to what this service can do for the legal research world and I feel very fortunate to be a part of our company during the release of this revolutionary and exciting new product.

Project 365 23
For Ellas birthday she hosted her own beauty salon. Results varied but fun was had and no permanent damage was done. Ella got through her mom Emily, Grandma Dee and Juju as well as Rachel. I was next on the chopping block... I mean in line when she got tired of doing hair. Very funny indeed!

Project 365 22
After work today I went to the Rotunda at the Mall of America to take in the Vikings Pep Rally and help show my horns. This Sunday the Vikes are playing the New Orleans Saints. If we win, we are in the Super Bowl!!! How exciting!

Project 365 20
So I slipped and fell down the stairs on the Shuttle bus at work today. I fell down the stairs at home a couple of months ago and broke my tail bone. Ella jumped down my stairs and bruised hers. I have fallen down my stairs two more time with no injury fortunately.
Thus I am declaring war on stairs. With my mutant powers I shall lead us in battle to bring Escalators and elevators to power.

Project 365 18
Our main living area is a beigeish god color called Lingere. The red in the kitchen is called callente (sp?) Spanish for Hot is what I am trying to spell there. It all makes for a very hot house. ;)
