Minot Trees

Skywatch Friday

Minot Hike!

Late last summer we drove to Minot, North Dakota to visit family (they're all over the country and overseas). Of course while I was there I had to find a little hike, and I found the Woodland Trail. As you'd expect from the name, it wandered through a wooded area.

It also meandered next to a stream.

It was very different from my usual Colorado hikes, but pretty in its own way.

Especially when the stream fed into a bigger river.

Yerba Buena Gardens

For Weekend Reflections, here are some shots from Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco. It includes the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, pictured here.

It was a pretty spot to wander around in.

I always enjoy a city park surrounded by tall buildings, especially when it's not busy.

I had to try my ultrawide fisheye lens.

Here's one more reflection for your viewing pleasure.

Foggy SF Sky

From last year's trip to California, here's a leftover Skywatch Friday photo from a hotel window. I posted a photo taken a few minutes earlier from the same place a few months ago...

San Francisco Cruise Photos

I'm back, and I'll post some photos from a San Francisco Bay cruise, starting with the skyline.

I love San Francisco and I'll never tire of visiting.

Of course the cruise went under the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Approaching with some high fog...

...passing underneath...

...and coming out on the Pacific Ocean side.

Blog Break

I'll be very busy the next couple of weeks so I'm taking a blog break. I'll leave you with a scanned slide from Montreal in 1988.
