Excursions

In the past weeks I have wandered around St Paul and have taken some photos.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I loved taking them!

This statue is craved out of an old tree and is situated outside a grand house on Summit Avenue.  During the winter months the owners of the home put a knitted shawl around her shoulders to keep her warm during the cold Minnesota winters.  Sadly, her wardrobe is more extensive than mine!

The bears outside of the Red Balloon Bookstore on Grand Av.

 

The Cathedral of St Paul. The carvings on the cathedral are amazing.

 Minnesota State Capital

I remember seeing these statue’s when we toured the Capital in grade school and the statue’s used to be covered in gold leaf.  I’m sure now a days it is probably gold paint!        

   

   Here are some pictures I took on a foggy day in St Paul.  I went to the Dodge Nature Center in South St Paul and then I drove up to Summit Avenue and wandered around the streets looking for unique items to capture.

Well that’s it for now.  I have more to share but I’ll leave it for another time.

Keep smiling & remember God loves you and so do I.
