I like to think of March as the march toward spring. It may not look like it from the photos but we are making progress, the snow was covering the seats.
Ducks on Ice

I don’t know how the little critters do it. They take a swim in the ices river and then take a nap on the ice.
The Throne of Ice

This is the center piece for the ice carving contest, which is part of the St. Paul winter carnival. I decided to go to Rice Park and check it out before the ice sculptures were complete because no matter how cold it is here in the winter we can pretty much count on it being above freezing within a day of the time that the ice sculptures are completed. Once they are ruined and partially melted we go back into the deep freeze. This year we had some above freezing temps, hence the puddle in the photo and then it rained all day, and then it froze. I will try to get photos of the completed sculptures before they melt.
The most photogenic bridge in St. Paul

The Robert street bridge is the most photogenic bridge in St. Paul. This one was taken on a day when it was very cold. A little river steam in the background and a little early morning light on the bridge. It was too cold to get out of the car but I did pull over to take the shot. If you live around here and see me pulled over stop honking, it won’t make me move any faster.
Fruity

I took this shot for a freind. It is a sign that summer is winding down. People don’t much like photos of flowers and plants but I have always loved both and I like taking pictures of them. I found these growing in the gardens at the Science Musum of Minnesota in St. Paul. I am not exactly sure what they are but they sure look like grapes so that is what I call them.
