Happy Halloween

My kids each carved their own pumpkins for the first time. This was their results from last year.

Rest Spot

He was taking a break of fighting the current behind the large boulder. What is he sitting in, I'm not sure what this is exactly. It's way too small to be a kayak, unless this is a mini version of it. Also, no....the water in Minnesota is not yellow. That is the sun's reflection on the rocks on the shoreline. It's very strange how yellow the water looks in the photo, but I don't recall it being that color when I took the photo.

Colorful River Banks

The fall colors are fading fast as the season changes into winter. I took this Autumn capture a couple of weeks ago in Taylors Falls. I would bet that the trees are looking very bare with very little leaves remaining on the branches.

Big Flower Pot

An interesting use for a nice, new, shinny garbage can.

Falcons

There was this grouping of falcons, or at least I believe they are falcons. My zoom isn't the best at how far away they were. But anyway, this grouping as you can see there are quite a few. To the right of this flock, there is another grouping, probably double this size of the pictured birds. I'd never seen so many flying over head before.

Welcome To Minnesota

The welcome sign as you cross the St Croix River from Wisconsin into Taylors Falls.

Canoes

All sizes, shapes and colors....

Upright Paddling

I've never seen anyone do this before, but these paddle boats can be rented on Lake Calhoun. I honestly believe it would be easier in a kayak or a canoe, but it must be enjoyable to want to do this.

Carport

Wrong Way

The is for two separate paths, biking and walking. The wrong way is for the bikers, you are only allowed to bike in one direction around the lake.

Tree Change

The leaves, they are a changing.

Nicely Painted

I wasn't sure if I liked the front of the rear better, so I'm posting both sides of the car. I do however like the painted black bumper, with a screw hold it in place. Plus the nicely painted patter over the rust along the wheel well. I true classic.

Graffiti Template

I can't say that I've ever seen a template used in street graffiti before, until I spotted this one. Strange?

Theme Day: Mystery Object

Well, I'm not 100% sure what this is or used for, but I would guess it is for measuring how far the mountains have moved? This mystery object is located in Nevada on the Ruby Mountains. We saw it and figured it was some geological survey marker, but in all reality, I have no idea what it is.
