Artistic Miniature Golf

Artistic Miniature Golf is today’s theme for Aileni’s Monochrome Weekly!

This was but one of the holes at a miniature golf course outside the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN.

Two For One

Ruby, Renner and Keegan Wading In The Lake.

Upon my awakening the thermometer said –21 Fahrenheit. There was also a windchill advisory issued warning me about the 35 degree below zero windchill. On a day when it is minus 21 degrees F outside it does a body good to reflect back to being able to stand ‘in’ the water rather than ‘on top’ of the water.

So this week it’s a ‘two fer’, yep, not only are we looking at retired racing Greyhound Ruby’s reflection in the lake at Lac Qui Parle State Park in Minnesota, but we are reflecting back to the days of summer to help keep us warm on such a cold winter’s day.

Here are a few more from Lac Qui Parle State Park.

Ahhh…. I don’t know about you, but after the craziness of the holidays and the winter cold, I feel like I’m being tucked in with a blanket of warmth and serenity. It was even better than a cup of hot chocolate with mini-marshmallows on top and that’s pretty hard to beat. ;)

X

Tough week time wise as well as the letter being a little more difficult. But I came up with Lemme wrestling one of his toys passed the Xbox. XBOX! That is two ‘X’s!

Holiday Reflection

A photo of a Christmas tree reflecting in a mirror on the opposite wall. Taken at my in-laws house on Christmas Eve. See the beveled edges of the mirror, for some reason they struck me as very interesting.

Again a photo from out at an apple orchard in Afton, Minnesota. I do believe this piece of equipment has seen a lot of history.
