Week #27 of my photo-a-day project takes us through that peak week of summer, when most of us take a time out, maybe cook some kind of animal on the grill, and find ourselves seeking shade and bodies of water.
It’s the time of year that makes me think of my favorite Frank Sinatra song. So sit back, open a window, close your eyes, feel the breeze, and have a listen.
“Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin’ by” . . .
And now, a photo from each day of the week.
(7/2/17) Minnehaha Parkway, Minneapolis
(7/3/17) Roderick Cox conducts the Minnesota Orchestra in Independence Day Eve concert at the Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis. The weather was perfect and the orchestra sounded great.
(7/4/17) You thought I was going to have a picture of fireworks, right? Nope, couldn’t stay up that late . . . but can you think of a more patriotic dessert? — RED strawberries, WHITE ice cream, BLUE blueberries — that’s as American as apple pie!
(7/5/17) Lake Nokomis, Minneapolis
(7/6/17) I saw this in someone’s front yard while I was running — a very nice twist on the “Little Free Library” phenomenon. “Blessing Box: Grab a bag, take what you need.”
(7/7/17) They don’t make ’em any cuter than this.
(7/8/17) While on a bike ride by the Mississippi River (downtown St. Paul in the distance) we stopped and talked with this young man about fishing. He told us he usually does pretty well here — once landing a 45-pound catfish!
