Last water splash?

 These kids were enjoying the last water park fun of August. Splash!

A labyrinth of colors

 

These beautiful flowers and late summer colors grabbed my attention at the Eagan Community Center. 

Where's Waldo?

 The Blue Cross / Blue Shield fields are often busy with kids' soccer practices and games! 

Friendly firefighters

 

These two Eagan firefighters happily posed for me in front of their special vehicle at Market Fest. 

Friendly with fresh flowers

 

This friendly young woman helped me pick a bouquet of flowers at her produce stand at yesterday's Market Fest. 

Walking the dawgs

 

They were strolling along the sidewalk with their dogs on a late summer morning...... 

Zippy roadster car

 

"Hot Rod Bob" was driving around topless in his 1929 Ford Roadster convertible. I caught up to him when he parked at Mt Calvary Lutheran Church. 

Inside his car door, a small collection of vintage signs! 

Harley dude

 

I don't know much about motorbikes, but this cool guy's Harley Davidson looked expensive! 

Flowerpots at their peak!

The flowerpots by the restaurants near Hyvee are looking lovely right now! Enjoy them before summer ends! 

Signal to autumn

 

Fall flowers including mums are now for sale outside the Cub Foods grocery store.  Summer is coming to an end... 

Zupas to the rescue!

It was Thursday evening and I didn't want to cook. Zupas offers great salads and a-mazing, creme brûlée cheese cake!! 

The Rowan

 

These new luxury apartments will be ready next spring.  I want to take a tour there this winter!

Horsing around

 

This modern sculpture stands outside the Cole's Salon off Yankee Doodle Road. Sorry, I don't know the title or artist.... 

Average boat, average street

 

Minnesota is called the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." People love to waterski and go fishing at their cabins. 

Treasures from India

 

During my first ever walk through the "India Bazaar" off Diffley Road, this small counter shrine caught my attention.  Many sorts of basmati rice, exotic vegetables, Indian spices and much more await shoppers there! 

Painted park potties

 

 

This newly painted, beautiful public bathrooms building stands at the newly renovated Woodhaven Park.

Telephone order?

 

She was on her phone as I passed..... selling cabbage or eggplants at Cliff Road Plaza parking lot? 

A sign of the times

 

Many stores and business have "Help wanted" signs out front. The Holiday gas station, like some other stores, also has a "Sign on bonus" sign to get new workers! 

Drinks and bar food

 

Sunday afternoon was a quiet time at Volstead's "speakeasy" off Lone Oak Road. Cheers! 

Protein drinks and more

 

It was quiet for the moment at the Lifetime Fitness cafe' early on Monday morning. Fitness food and supplies! 

Hidden patio

 

Guests were enjoying their Sunday evening dinner behind the trees and shrubs surrounding the twinkling patio at Doolittle's.  

Fast food surprise

 

A quick Sunday night dinner from Wendy's..... but they didn't put any catchup in my bag!

Such a first world problem!
