I stepped out the door Friday morning and snapped a few pictures just before sunrise of the moon and a star in the sky.

Shortly after that, a neighbor stopped and picked me up for a trip out towards the Red river valley. He had bought a tractor and was going to pick it up, asked if I’d like to ride along. It was a nice change of pace and a good trip, I hadn’t been that way in quite a while.
Seems kinda strange bypassing Bemidji on the new highway and not going by the statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox.
We came back a different route and passed by Itasca state park, where the headwaters of the Mississippi river is. Crossed a bridge near there where the river isn’t much more than a creek in size, quite a bit smaller than where it flows by my house.
Got home just before sunset.
