15 May 2009 Photo(s): Born With A Silver Spoon

I finally got to meet Alex, my friends Cathy and Chad's baby. And I am IN LOVE! He is just a wonderful baby and so happy. That smile...those eyes...listening to him discovering the range of his voice..all of it is such a treat.

Today Cathy brought me to the Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis so I could see the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. We did the first of our photo shoots for Alex and the photograph above is my favorite shot of the day. I am glad I am getting to see more of the great city and am looking forward to the weekend here!

14 May 2009 Photo: Flour Power

I am in Minneapolis visiting some friends. My friend Amy picked me up at the airport and took me on a tour of Minneapolis. I have only been her once before and it was for a conference so I didn't get to see much besides the conference center and the hotels/downtown area. Today she took me for a walk on the Stone Arch Bridge and we went past several old flour mills. I never realized that Minneapolis used to be a hot bed for the flour industry. Learn something new every day!
