A trip to MN in May 2026

Shortly after returning from NC, I flew to St. Paul/Minneapolis to attend Gabby’s college graduation and to visit family. I had a great time.

I spent a couple hours one morning on the Hogback Ridge Trail from the Old Cedar Ave Bridge trailhead. A good walk but no particularly good images.

I also walked one morning at the Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield. Despite construction, there were quite a few birds. I got images of wood ducks and red-winged blackbirds.

And I went to the arboretum one afternoon. The tulips were in full bloom, and I got another shot although I don’t know the flower species.
