- Which has nifty things like hybrid electric buses…
- And quirky lawn art
- And, of course, my silly kitties!

Thanks, everyone, for your kind thoughts and words yesterday. I think getting out in the sunshine with my camera did help a bit.
Ooooh, I love your clouds! My mother and I always call stuff like that “slob lawn art”. Glad to hear your feeling more like yourself.
Those people are lucky not to live next to the narcissistic jerks next door. They had the cheek to ask us to take down the kid’s scarecrow when it was still between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I think I’ll go knit a voodoo doll!
Oooh – looking good! Just makes me want to come back and visit again.
Crisp, bright blue and green orderliness juxtaposed with quirky lawn art and silly kitty poses? Even I’m sitting here with a bit of a smile on my face.
Enjoy the day and where it takes you. Minneapolis looks like a lovely city.
That lake is spectacular! You do live in a great place, my friend.
Some very good things indeed! I finally read Staggerford and am now missing Minnesota again.
Aw, I’m glad you’re feeling better! Those cheery things make me happy too. Don’t forget the first taste of a freshly brewed coffee (or mocha…), and a really, really good book.
And yes guys, you are silly, but in a good way!
Nice pictures! I’ve always thought that Minneapolis would be a nice place to live …
Beautiful pictures! Hope you are feeling better.
Have yet to see one of the green buses in the northern burbs….of course now that we are getting at least 1 train, we may not need them.
I’m beginning to think this string of nice days in a row is all a very nice dream.
Chris- It looks like such a terrific place.
May has her legs stretched out- that cracks me up.
Baltimore supposedly has hybrid electric buses too – only one line on the whole system tends to use them. Hopefully all will be replaced with greener buses in the near future.
And that sky is glorious! Looks like a painting.
Those lake shots…gorgeous!
Hope it’s sunny all week…that often does the trick for me.
is that Lake Minitonka? if so Apolonia was naked in there
Great lake photos. Interesting lawn art, too
Your photo tours are always fun! Glad you got out in the sun.
I love your photo tours, too. There is a house on West Minnehaha Parkway (north side/westbound) that used to have a line of flamingos in their yard every summer. But the horse is an inspired touch 🙂
LOVE the sights around your town…and Chaos. You’re hysterical – especially frog-legged with the tail in the air!
(((MANY hugs to Mom)))
Those lake/cloud pictures are amazing. The clouds here last night were awesome; I stood outside and watched them for a long time. I LOVE looking at clouds.
Big puffy clouds & kitties are definitely good things!
Great photos of Lake of the Isles! I really enjoyed going to college in the Twin Cities; they are a great place to live.
And yes, May, kitties who sit with their back legs like a frog are silly.
Yay! I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Sunshine works wonders. 🙂
That first photo is gorgeous!
I expect The Simpson’s theme song to be playing in the background.
Your lake photos are great with the reflected clouds! I’m glad you’re feeling less blue.
Now I have that song stuck in my head, “Who could ask for anything more?” Hehe. Great pictures as always! I LOVE the reflection shots.
Lovely photos! I do wish we had nifty hybrid buses. Actually, I wish our bus system was better in general.
I don’t know that I would call them silly. Unique, perhaps. Entertaining, certainly.
I see the beginnings of a smile in your post!
Let me guess – you took your lake pics down at Lake of the Isles? (You have to think more Mary Tyler Moore than Apollonia, furiousball, Lake Minnetonka doesn’t have walking paths!) Did you go to Uptown and do some people and window watching? That always cheered me up to no end.
Oh, my goodness! Those reflections are gorgeous!
I’m glad you’re in a better mood today.
That is some lovely photography!
Glad you’re feeling better. Getting outside in the sunshine and fresh air usually helps me. I love the quirky lawn art, especially the horse and flamingos. 🙂
I’m glad you are feeling a little better today. Getting out in the sun really does help.
Hybrid electric buses?!? I’m jealous. We have some buses but mass transit here is a joke. 🙁
great photos of the lake! and tell Chaos that “Silly Kitty” is just another way of expressing love and affection 😉
I can see why the lake makes you happy and the kitties too. 🙂 Hope you’re feeling less blue.
So glad you’re feeling better! Looks like a lovely day was had, I think one would have to be extra-super-down in the dumps to not be cheered up by the walk, the lawn art, and those cats.
ABSOLUTELY! I was actually IN Minneapolis last week (Wednesday through Sunday) and had the pleasure of going to visit my nephew who lives near Calhoun. Of course ALL the lakes are beautiful. I do love “coming home” (you know, I adore Madison – but its similarity to Mpls. figures in, I can tell you). Yep, I have lakes and two kitties to cheer me up here too (only Evangeline looks like May and Chaos, Lilliane’s a brown tabby, but we can’t all be perfect).
Oh, I love that sculpture with the busted up TV.
Oh no! I’m sorry you’ve been feeling blue lately. But at least your skies are too…?
