The Mill District

The Minneapolis Mill District is one of the neighborhoods that I sometimes pass through on the morning dog walks. It looks sparse because the roads are so wide. Nice condos and restaurants though.

Over the bridge

The dog walks haven’t gotten difficult yet. Only a slight chill over the bridge.

This is the same bridge with the Frankenstein monster. There’s a Dunn Brother’s Coffee at the other end, so it’s worth it.

Back to Lake of the Isles

The snow caused us to return to our old stomping grounds at the Lake of the Isles.

There were geese everywhere so we had to leave early. You know how Harley gets around goose poop. I can’t deal.

Snow day

And the snow came.

That’s the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, one of my favorite buildings. I haven’t seen the Occupy Minnesota protestors out there for a while. Maybe winter has done them in? Anyway, the building looks even better in winter.

Oh, and Gertrude loves the snow. Harley isn’t so sure.

The last day

The gig’s up. Tomorrow it snows. That means I’m spending as much time outside with the dogs as possible today. I took the dogs on a long hike by the Mississippi.

The walk was a little too long for Harley’s taste.

He’ll get over it.

Studio nights

Long nights in the studio.

music studio

The album is coming along nicely, at least better than before. I’ve also figured out the process of getting my music on Pandora. It seems a little overly complex, but it’s a project for January.

Already?

Thanksgiving hasn’t come yet and there’s no snow on the ground so why the heck do my neighbors have Christmas lights up?

Christmas lights

And no, these aren’t the generic “winter lights” that Minnesotans love leaving up until May. Electric reindeer mean Christmas.

Off the highway

Sometimes it’s more fun taking the side roads:

Before the snow

My friends think that it is was bizarre that I still walk from Nordeast to the bars downtown. I’m desperately trying to enjoy Minneapolis before the snow and cold. Plus the view isn’t bad because there are no trees to hide the buildings anymore.

Along the River

I love that New England is buried under feet of snow and it’s in the 60’s in Minneapolis. This extended fall is gorgeous.
