The fact that I was taking photos of coffee grounds made me notice that I’ve been stuck in a rut lately, image-wise: flowers, food, fish, plants, food, fish. It was time to get out of the house.

So we went and stomped around in downtown St. Paul for a couple of hours. 25 degrees and windy, but we ducked into the skyways and coffee shops when it got too brutal. It was surprisingly pleasant along the river, and the sky hasn't been this blue in weeks.
