This is through the Innsbruck Nature Center in Fridley from 11:30 to about 12:30. Its lovely out with blue skies and very little wind. The air was fresh, and a flock of robins was hunting about on the forest floor near the pond. They were a bit camera shy, but here's the path into the woods.

My goal today was to learn about using the macro focus on my camera, so I went for leaf photos. I'm sharing only a few of there here - this is along the path shown above.
