Just couple of Instagrams with a lot of orange in them. It won’t be long before the white stuff arrives. Enjoy the day.

Time to turn it off
faucet
It is supposed to be a nice warm day today but we all know what lies ahead.
This tip is mostly for new homeowners or for people who are new to Minnesota.
It is time to turn off the water to the outdoor faucets. Disconnect the hoses and put them away.
Easy to do:
1. Turn off the water from the inside of the house.
2. open the spigot on the outside.
What happens if you don’t turn the water off? Pipes can freeze and faucets can be destroyed by ice. . . and it isnt pretty.
Around St. Paul
This is a great time of year for taking pictures. The weather has been warm and dry and the fall colors were at the peak last weekend.

Color in the city
We sure have been having some amazing weather. This photo was taken in downtown St. Paul on Wacouta street near the farmers market.
As with most any photo on this blog if you click on it with your mouse the picture will expand and may actually become large enough to see.
The first day of autumn
It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. I created this magazine a few years ago in October of 2008 when I still has a sense of humor. I was younger then and probably taller too. I have published this before but in my experience people do not remember what I wrote last month so I doubt if anyone will recognized this from 2008, 2009 and 2010.
It isn’t cold or nasty out yet and Fall is the best time or year for photography. The DNR has been predicting that we will have better than average fall colors this year because of the heat and the rain. . . we shall see . . . I have a list of places that I will go to take pictures around the Twin Cities and “up north”.
Here is a link to the Minnesota DNR fall color updates.
