Day 30, Year 3 (760)
Cracked. Ice. See what a walk in the cold can do for a bit of creative photography? Quick walk along the Mississippi River this afternoon. Quick because it was cold and windy and I forgot my hat at home.

Day 12, Year 3 (742)
Warm thoughts... Today I actually took photos. But like my cold ridden head they were all blurry and a bit strange. Not worthy of even a head shake. (: With another night of sub-zero temperatures I decided to share a bit of hope for warmer days. Day 4 of this virus crap. Doctor says its not the flu so plenty of fluids and even more rest. I've been pretty pathetic with this cold but tomorrow will be a better day.

(click to enlarge) Cold View of Downtown Minneapolis... This morning on my way back from the University of Minnesota I stopped to take this photo. There is a foot bridge that crosses the Mississippi River between the East and West Bank campuses. With the temperature somewhere in the negative 7 degree range, I got out of my toasty warm car and walked part way out onto this bridge to get my second shot of the city skyline. You can't take photos with winter gloves on so -- four shots later I hustled back to my car to get out of the cold. When the weather gets warmer and the landscape gets greener -- I'm sure there will be more skyline photos.

Capture the Wind This morning I was listening to the wind blow. I love the wind, mostly the sound of it, walking in it, etc. I was thinking it would be so wonderful if I could take a picture of the wind for my picture of the day. So, I started thinking about all the ways I could "capture the wind" on my camera. If it had just snowed or was snowing I could take a picture of blowing snow. Or if it was spring I could take a picture of a kite. If I had time today I would have found some snowkiters and probably have spent the day taking pictures. I tried taking a picture of blowing grass but it just looked like grass -- not blowing. There are so many things that blow in the wind but ended up choosing this picture of Old Glory on top of our local American Legion. It is so amazing what you CAN take a picture of.
