I like going for walks at my favorite rustic park in Minnesota. All photos (other than reposts) are my own, with no editing & no AI. This Minnesotan stands with Canada. Slava Ukraini Please don't add me to starter packs.

San Nomedio, an absolute unit standing sentinel over the Minho valley in Galicia. Legend has it that it served as a refuge against invaders; Romans, Goths, Vikings etc. Now home to a population of wild ponies, very beautiful and timid, who come down to the villages at night to graze the gardens.

Picture from a distance of San Nemedio mountain in Galicia. It is a large conical mountain, forested in many parts on the lower slopes.

ICE OUT. Inspired by Picasso's Guernica. ~ A loon rises from the chaos and destruction. Liam with his blue bunny hat. Renee Good and Alex Pretti speaking in morse code: "I'm not mad at you", "Are you okay?" ~ Details in ALT description. Grain art, Minnesota State Fair. Artist: Jennifer Nelson.

Grain art, Minnesota State Fair ~ a loon rises from the chaos and destruction of an attack. Sign reads: ICE OUT. Artist Jennifer Nelson: "My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti's mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: 'I'm not mad at you,' and 'Are you okay?'

This is called a Flower of an Hour. It blooms for only a short time per day. I saw one on a gravel shoulder of a road a couple weeks ago and haven't seen it since. This is considered invasive in Minnesota.
