Gemini Goes to Kindergarten

Gemini wears his Halloween hat rather nonchalantly!

Gemini's owner and author of his books.
Gemini gets both his teeth and coat brushed.
I explained on my other blog, visualstpaul, that I didn't show the children's faces because of issues of privacy, but their expressions were priceless!

Walk for Breast Cancer Research

On Sunday, August 26 I photographed several of the two thousand walkers and volunteers on the final day of a 3-day, 60 mile walk for breast cancer research.

Encouragement along the way!



Luncheon Volunteers
Six more miles to go!

A Foggy Morning

St. Kate's campus abuts our backyard which gives us a clear vista across their soccer field. If you look closely you can see one of the dorms on the right in the bottom photo. The tree belongs to our neighbor and looks a bit spooky in the morning fog.

These two diligent workers display the work ethic for which Minnesota is justly famous!!

Our Hostess!

First we ate; the table inside was groaning with food: bagels, salads of all kinds, quiches, gazpacho, and decadent desserts!

Conversations and opening gifts and momentos.


And the guests start to leave!

Road Construction

A common summer occurrence in Minnesota and probably across the United States!
