a guy, his ox, and a bed

Many people are familiar with the Paul Bunyan legend. As a Minnesota native, it has been one of my favorites. 

Paul and Babe

In this picture above, I love the view of Lake Bemidji beyond. Most postcards for these statues avoid the lake view and use the trees to reinforce the lumberjack in the woods theme. Also, I wonder how much yarn we would need to knit sweaters for Paul and Babe.

 

 

I have an exclusive, never-seen-before picture of Paul Bunyan’s bed for you all. Yes, really!

Valentine Florals

Last weekend, Mom and I took pictures of the “Heart in the Park” event at the MOA. There were hearts plenty, and the sculptures were fun and cute. Local folks who are planning to attend Knit-Out & Crochet this weekend will be able to see these, since the event does not end until February 19.

The pictures are better this time around, since there was more natural light available. My favorites are the white swans swimming in blue hydrangeas (very Project Spectrum). Enjoy!

A chicken among the tulips

The MOA, as part of the ongoing Park in Bloom event series, held a “Largest Indoor Tulip Show” last month, January 19-27. I don’t know if it really is the largest indoor tulip show, but there were lots of tulips, and I gave Mom my camera to take pictures as we walked around the mall. Even though this show is over, the tulips remained and they will be replaced with new flowers for the upcoming “Heart of the Park” event starting on Friday.

One nice thing about these events is that local artists can display their artwork (for sale, too), so you’ll spot a few in the pictures. With our latest freezing temperatures, I thought a little hint of spring would be good.

Goodbye Orange, Goodbye Yellow

Where did the month go? I realized I had better hurry and post the last of my pictures for Project Spectrum.

But before I share some orange and yellow things… I’m taking down this yellow skin/theme. I enjoyed using it for April, and particularly liked the three-column layout. But it just isn’t **me.** I’ve restored my temporary default theme and it does have some green, lookit above at the logo!
