Father's Day Outing

As a usual and traditional activity, my son and daughter and I went to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. It has been a tradition for many years, and even when they were each singly working in Japan, the one at home and I would take the trip. Today was one of the nicest of the days that we've been there. It was about eighty degrees and sunny. The big attraction always seems to be Claes Oldenburg's sculpture, "Spoonbridge and Cherry." Today I tried to line up the photo of PP so that it would appear as though she is holding the cherry in her hand. It worked well enough to use here.


Another favorite spot is the mirrored sculpture. I always try to get a group shot here. The grouping is not as tight as it would be in a small Paris elevator, but the concept is the same - line up the shot, lower the camera and snap away.



Another photo of Unky Herb acting a little goofy near another of the structures. He brought his camera, too, and between us we have the day pretty well covered.


PP always wants to walk on her hands in the grass in the park. I caught her upside down in front of the Spoonbridge and took the shot.



After a tour of the Walker Art Center and some viewing of some Andy Warhol paintings and a film of people cutting the clothes off Yoko Ono with a scissors - performance art they call it - we went to dinner. The Mirror of Korea on Snelling fixed some tasty vittles and we finished the day with full stomachs. A good day spent with some fine young people.
