2 Things Challenge - Bumper/Crop

Another 2 Things Challenge entry.  This weeks theme words are Bumper and Crop.  The two submissions I have are both from a car show that coincided with Pie Day in Braham, MN.

This is a cropped bumper from a 1953 Ford Pickup.

I believe this is from a 1959 Chevrolet Impala.  

Weekend at Lobster Lake

Spent a nice weekend at Lobster Lake (near Alexandria, MN) with my wife and dog.  Didn't take a lot of pictures, but here are a few.

2 Things Challenge - Wooden/Eye

This weeks 2 Things Challenge words were Wooden & Eye.  While walking around the Great Minnesota Get Together (State Fair), there was this large wooden clown statue.  The clown was very colorful and I especially love the blue in the eye.

2 Things Challenge - Stone/Stare

For this weeks 2 Things Challenge, the subject was Stone/Stare.  I actually have two photos I would like to submit for this subject.  The first kind of meets the criteria because technically the statue is not stone.

This statue of Harmon Killibrew outside of Target Field
in Minneapolis is staring at the stone buildings
of downtown.

It is tough not to stare at the stone that
marks where your father is buried.

Canoeing the Rum River

Foggy Morning Walking the Dog

Got up yesterday morning and took my dog for a walk at a city park.  It was just a beautifully still and foggy day.

Photo project for my nephews and dad

My nephew Aiden turned 10 this summer and I got an idea (albeit not original) to do nameplate for him, his brother and my dad.  I went around and took pictures of objects that looked like letters.  Some of them I had to take some "artistic" license, but I think they turned out like I wanted.  They all have 5 letters in their name, so that made the construction process a little easier.

The names are:

Terry

Aiden

Riley
