This little orchid is pulling a phoenix

Believe this one opened in 2018 on the University of Minnesota Saint Paul campus

No filters – straight out of the camera

First walk in the park since the snow – it was nice to see a muddy path instead of dry drought dirt

The flock was entertained

…strikes again 💯

See you again in 2023

Ridges cancelled our tee time for today – below freezing temps and a few flakes

UMD Land Lab (“The Farm”)

76F in Minnesota in November?

It’s like a whole month of perfect fall weather this year

Golden hour is still awesome (just too early now)

Still some good color in the metro

Someone was hungry along the Mississippi 🦫

Found one “real” agate and some others I just liked

The new camera still has trouble with this (but it’s getting better)

The colors in 2022 were late due to drought, but then hit big

Really nice day in Bloomington with TC

Stink bug, turtles, caterpillars, oh my

That or very active bugs…

Guessing this was the work of SK, but I don’t know for sure

More bugs and more people than ever

I bet there are a lot of confused plants and bugs right now (sunny and 88F on 9/20)

Now if the gnats could be done for the year, that would be great
