Tulip Time?

It must almost be Tulip Time along the eastern shore of the big lake. In honor thereof, and the bright sun of the morning I present a mini tulip (MinniTulip?). It's brightly colored, but not likely to last much longer.



The rains began to roll in around 1:30 this afternoon. I scuttled my plans to bike, but thought that I could get to Minnehaha Falls to check out the collapsed wall along the creek that was reported by the Strib this morning. I was able to get KS to go along for an outing to the usually scenic spot. No sooner did we leave the dry comfort of the auto, than it began to drizzle. It increased in volume as we made our way to the falls under cover of umbrella. I was able to take this photo of the falls - the waters rolling merrily over the precipice - but that was the end of the adventure, to be completed on a day without rain. Somewhere along the creek there is a collapsing wall that I'll find and photograph.



The April rains continue to grace the days of May.

At least there is no ice at the falls. Tulip Time is under way, with tomorrow being the first of three parades. Rain is forecast for the street scrubbers.

Nice one of the falls, all done up in late spring time browns.
