Stone Work Leads the Way

Flowers and greenary may be mostly gone, but the beauty of a garden is still visible as this stone work leads the eye through the yard.

Culture Clash (The American Swedish Institute)

 

Construction workers seem like time travelers in the 1908 mansion that hosts the American Swedish Institute.

Two For One

28th St., near Chicago

By the way, you may legally bike on residential sidewalks but not on business area sidewalks.
(I know 'cause a cop gave me a warning--not the $90 fine--for biking on an Uptown sidewalk.)

Window Cat

Might as well continue the cat theme.  This 'good fortune' kitty in a window along 26th St. east of Nicollet.

Koko, Squash and Kandinsky

There's nothing like playing with your cat, and enjoying the warmth of inside, along with beautiful, bright-colored squash and a Kandinsky painting when it's gray and snowy outside.

knobbly and smooth.

Squash!

Frosty Flowers

These flowers seem to be frozen in time, trapped under the ice and snow.

First Snow!

A few random flakes fell earlier this November, but this is the first white ground. I've lent my camera to Marz, who is her visiting family in Oregon, so I ran outside with my laptop, here at Bob's Java Hut, to record it.
I didn't realize the computer would catch me too, out of the corner of its eye.

Abstract Art Wall

Now I am following Francesca's example.  I could see this framed and on my wall.

Accidental Abstract Expressionism

Art is everywhere: this is the in-side of a dumpster (outside a construction zone on Nicollet Ave.).

MCAD

In the darker evenings travel becomes more impressionistic.

This ship is setting sail for what is sure to be a bitterly cold winter.

Another Face on the Sidewalk

I didn't realize I was following in Jo Ann's photographic footsteps (see her post yesterday) when I snapped this sidewalk art on 28th Street today.

Face in the Sidewalk

I came across this anonymous portrait while walking back to my house from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.  The fallen leaves add another layer, so to speak.  Don't miss the hair at the top of the head, just where the break in the sidewalk to the street occurs.
