Someday I hope to see Amanda Jones using G+ in addition to her Facebook and Twitter. She did a photo shoot for us some years ago. She's a great animal photographer and I think she'd be a great part of the photography community over here.

Breuer designed several homes near where I grew up. Someday. Someday.

On Saturday, my friend Danielle and I got to try something awesome. Minneapolis' Minnehaha Falls freezes during winter. There's a little splattering of water still falling over the ledge, but most of it turns into this wonderful array of temporary stalagmites and stalactites, hanging like a curtain in front of a shallow indent in the rock.

I'd heard about people who climbed behind the ice before, but I'd always assumed you'd need special equipment--ropes and crampons--to get back there safely. Turns out, that's not the case. The hollow in the cliff face is shallow, but it's wide enough that you can just saunter on in with little trouble.

I posted one of these shots from my phone yesterday. Here's the rest of the set.
