In May 2011, several severe storms swept through the Twin Cities area. This is a photo from the beginning of one of those storms, taken from Coon Rapids. The clouds were so unusual and ominous.

This is the view fom my grandma’s house in Pattonsburg, Missouri, a small town which is also known as “New Pattonsburg,” because the “old” Pattonsburg was nearly destroyed in a flood in 1993. Many of the residents of Old Pattonsburg simply picked up their homes and moved them a few miles away to an area which became New Pattonsburg.

This is a photo of the Government Center Plaza during lunchtime on a weekday. It’s a common place for working folks in the area to spend their lunch hour relaxing and enjoying the scenery, fountain, and company.
