Meet the Parents
365.302
Mom, Dad and I stopped for a photo after a very full weekend working on my house. (Note: I’m getting better at using the tripod!)

Light Fixture
365.301
Today was a busy day for home improvements: cutting the front tree limbs into firewood; learning how to operator a lawn tractor; seeding the lawn; painting the sub-basement; and upgrading some light fixtures. Let me just say that I’m glad I’m not an electrician by profession.

Timber…
365.300
Tonight my dad, uncle and I took down my half-tree in the front yard. From the rings in the stump, we counted 26 years. It’s a bummer this tree had to go, but the electric company had already trimmed half of it. So, I’ll be shopping for a new tree or two come spring. On a positive note, I’ll be ready for bonfires.

Take the A Ramp
365.299
While not quite the same, every time I walk back to the A Ramp in Minneapolis, I think of Take the ‘A’ Train, a signature tune of the Duke Ellington Orchestra and composed in 1939. Except my train is my Ford.
This skyway has a similar composition to a photo I captured in May in Loring Park of the Whitney Bridge, one of my favorite images of this year’s project. I only stopped for 2-3 minutes to take a photo, but clearly my business suit-clad self was deemed a threat because it wasn’t long after that I heard the loudspeaker call security. No matter, I was done. I’ve had to work quickly before.

Scepter of Queen Frostine
I pass this railing in the Retek on the Mall building twice a day. Today, I finally recognized what’s so familiar about it … it’s the scepter from Queen Frostine’s card in the original Candyland board game! (Though not as tasty as this Candyland.)
