The next to the last Minnesota Rocks has been installed since my last trip to Mounds Park. It had been the object of some vandalism last spring some time, but it's back in place and all cleaned up. The wind chill when I snapped this photo was one below zero, so I was sure to keep the camera warm ahead of time. This rock was sculpted by Javier Del Cueto, a Mexican stone carver. It's called "Wave." I spent about 45 minutes outside, walking up to the the Indian Burial Grounds that dominate the park on St Paul's East Side.
The Davis Cup is going on in Portland, Oregon, as I write. The first match was won by Andy Roddick and James Blake is up two sets to one in the second of two matches today. The doubles are tomorrow.
The theme for tomorrow is "big snow storm." The weather guys are predicting at least six and maybe ten inches of cold whiteness for the day. The shovel is ready.
Today is the last day of November and I won't need to use the term "albatross" any more for a while.

Do you ever go back and check earlier posts? Please do as I left a comment on yesterday's today.
"Cold Rocks" is also a good post and the picture is great with the Saint Paul skyline in the background.

Thanks for the tip-off. I sometimes go back to the previous post, but not as a general rule. I'll be more watchful.
I'm glad you liked the photos. The park is pretty amazing right now, with the icicles and the flowing creek. I even like it when the wind chill dips below zero, but only with the aid of long johns. TT
More Minnesota Rocks! Unexpected, and I agree with BB that it is a nicely composed photo, with the skyline of St. Paul as backdrop. Yesterday's photos were my favorite recent shots of yours. Hard to beat a frozen waterfall photo.
