My Secret Garden

I don't remember how I found this garden squeezed in behind these buildings.  I like to go back to look at it from time to time to see how it has changed with the seasons.

OK, so it is inside, but I liked the finest chandelier that plastic can create.

Trapped by Cat

I've not been keeping up with my weekly pix because this cat is holding me prisoner in nearby CARAG neighborhood.
Luckily I am kept well supplied with reading materials.

(In other words, I'm housesitting.)

Renovation In Progress

This building at 109 26th St. is being renovated.  It was constructed in 1887.  Walk by it to see the artisan-created, tooled-in-metal design over the entrance--original with the building.

Reading on the Bus

Going up Lake Street on the #21 bus, somewhere in Phillips neighborhood.

ooh, shiny!

Windy days in the fall lead to big gutters of leaves, but this shiny Kymco was quite cheering.

Ghost Mansion

 Fair Oaks, the W. D. Washburn residence, as it looked in 1886 in the location that is now Fair Oaks Park.  The house was donated to the Minneapolis Park Board in 1912, after W.D. died;  It bacame too expensive to maintain and was razed in 1924.  It seems so sad that such a magnificent building wasn't saved.  Fortunately, other residences around the park from that era are still in use and preserve the grandeur of the young city of Minneapolis.

Hard Changes

This tree seems to be at war with itself; half of it wants to go back to summer and half of it is putting itself whole-heartedly into fall!
