Land Of Cranes

Minneapolis, MN

Driving from north of Minneapolis to the southern portion of the Twin cities this is what you encounter along the way.

Cranes and construction as far as the eye can see.

And maybe one day it will be done. ?

Mostly Frozen

This is a night shot of our fountain that keeps running through the winter on our little pond here in Minnesota. Though it makes a mountain of ice water continues to spurt through the little holes from the pump below.

Thanks to Alieni for hosting ‘Monochrome Weekend’. For more monochrome photos from around the world please click here!

Early Spring Sunset

Taken while riding in the car north of Minneapolis, MN. Temps were warm enough to cause puddles along side the road from the melting snow banks. The banks themselves were black with road grime and the snow above them still white enough to reflect the warm glow of the setting sun.

My Favorite Foster

Peaches was a foster retired racing Greyhound that we had back in the ‘early days’ of our work in Retired Racing Greyhound rescue. I love the way she tried to talk to us. Here she was trying to talk Cosy (one of our greyhounds) out of the bone she was chewing. Peaches had a lot to say and had a unique way of speaking.  Yep – that’s me laughing in the background and my OH is the other voice talking to her.

Greyhound In Training

 

SONY DSC Scooter (above) and Renner (below) know the best way to sleep is on your back, all legs (and arms) extended upward.

It has taken them a while but they have been working hard to train this little guy. All that work is paying off, don’t you think?

Black & White

SONY DSC Scooter is our black and white retired racing greyhound. He has just had his 6th Birthday on March 23rd. His racing name was Tyville Scoop.

 PICT0016scooterreduced He is rather on the large side for a greyhound weighing in at well over 80 pounds.  Not the best of racers and was retired when he was two years old. He was in a couple of homes before ours, which didn’t work out for him. However, he fit in perfectly here from day one.SONY DSCHis favorite thing to do is ….snooze, and listen at the same time, he doesn’t like to miss anything. :)

This is a black and white handmade music box doll. I used to collect one or two of these each time I went to the Ren Fest in Shakopee, MN.

This is the black and white inside of a birthday card given my OH for his last birthday a couple of weeks ago, which I found humorous.

Yes it was Black & White week for True Colors Thursday hosted by Blue. For more great photos of Black & White things check out True Colors Thursday. Thanks Blue!
