  • Sculpture in front of the Event Center on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. It’s called the Minnesota Corn Fairstalk. #publicart #mnstatefair
  • Seen today on the way to the Mall of America. I think of it as the “Bloomington Stargate”. (I don’t know what it’s really supposed to be or represent but I can’t see it as anything besides a Stargate.) #sculptures #publicart
  • Some of the panoply of colors of nature’s bounty. #photography #vegetables #vegetablegarden
  • You never know what you will find in the spaces between buildings. #streetart #streetphotography
  • A study in color and texture seen on a late summer walk. #nature #flowersandplants
  • Spread kindness around like wildflowers. (These roses aren’t exactly wild but the sentiment can still apply.) #flowers #positivethoughts
  • One of the murals in my neighborhood. #publicartwork
  • How it all began. The notebooks that I wrote the beginning of my novel in back in 2000. #writing #fictionwriter
