Arches is simply stunning. Highly recommend! @bcmfietser.bsky.social

We had a lovely early hike this morning in Bryce Canyon along the Rim Trail. It was frosty but pleasant and we avoided the crowds. @bcmfietser.bsky.social

We had great weather and hiked a lovely 9 miles in Bryce today, but ran into some deep, unavoidable mud at the very end. @bcmfietser.bsky.social

Notice in #ZionNationalPark restroom is really making my Mind spin on why the signage is necessary.

I decided this year that if there is any part of my yard that is not thriving, I will only put new plants there if they are Minnesota natives. I just planted these 105 drought-tolerant native plant plugs in my front yard. Fingers crossed they liked their new home!

This quote from Cornell West that Laurie Anderson mentioned in her amazing show tonight really stuck with me: “Justice is what love looks like in public.”

*Cornel

Excited to see Laurie Anderson tonight at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis with @bcmfietser.bsky.social

The scarecrow exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair is under-rated IMO. I mean, this one is terrifying!

Once a west coast gal always a west coast gal I guess, but my years in Minnesota are starting to show. I have no explanation for the random blob in west central Utah.

The first map was the short quiz. Did the full 148 question quiz and I am clearly Californian.

You can play this musical bench with the rubber mallets. I know cuz I did.

This ivy is making its move. Don’t stand still too long.

Milwaukee’s river walk is very cool. That is all.

This duck is so dufus-ish, I just love it. On the Milwaukee River Walk.

Milwaukee’s River Walk is very cool- part 2.

There is a section of the River Walk in Milwaukee that has historical news articles etched into the boardwalk. The entries ended in 1983 I think. Not sure how far back they go but at least to the 1940s. Here is 1965. @bcmfietser.bsky.social

Another section of this very cool leaf wind sculpture in Milwaukee. This part rotates.
