Classic in black

 This refurbished classic car stood waiting at the Kowalski's grocery store. Sorry, no details. 

Leaves and Lexus

 

The leaves are turning colors everywhere! However, because of the dry, hot summer... the colors aren't as vibrant. 

More pumpkins.....

 At Hyvee grocery store, one can find many orange pumpkins! Future Jack-o-lanterns? 

Passing over Eagan

 Lots of airplanes fly over Eagan as they land or take off from the Minneapolis International Airport.

This beautiful, baby blue Porsche sat in the parking lot at Kowalski's grocery store. Just as I photographed it, the attractive, young, blond owner arrived with her groceries.
