Exploring Mpls

Through blogging (much more as a follower of blogs than a blogger) and twitter, I've been lucky enough to meet some great people.  One of them is Janelle.  She has a great blog and a fabulous project that I'm super excited to follow.

I was lucky enough that she invited me to go for a walk with her around Minnehaha Park.  We met on a Friday afternoon and, much like the rest of this spring, it was cloudy and threatening rain.  Despite that, we managed to walk about 4 miles and get some fun pictures.  Janelle's photos turned out a lot better than mine, but it was fun to follow a real blogger/photographer and see what she takes pictures of.  Mostly, I just copied her. :)
The porta potties and Free Parking is for the Get In Gear 5k that happened the next morning
How is this the only picture I have of Janelle????
Here's what I learned today.  I love taking pictures of random things - yes that IS oversized plastic fruit yard decor that you see.  I have a lot of work to do learning about photography because most of my pictures are a little fuzzy or not quite the way I want them to be.  And walking with new friends is amazing.

Thanks Janelle, let's do it again soon!

    Love it! Yes, let's walk again soon. Sometimes overcast days are great for photos but for our particular walk, it was a challenge to get the colors to really pop. I do quite a bit of photo editing which is why I am sure you have the misperception that mine turned out better than yours. I love that you captured the Longfellow mural, the composition of the goose, orange and lawn chair is fun and I didn't even see that particular Sea Salt sign. Great job! Let's get our next walk on the calendar!

    Also, my neighborhood tour project now lives here: http://www.minneapolis81.com/

    You'll notice one of the photos on the home page :).
