Saturday night at the National Sports Center in Blaine - fish and chips from the Anchor Food Truck and Minnesota United Football Club winning another match.

Celebrating summer (July theme day)

Here in Minnesota if you don't spend some time during the summer on a lake, you can't really claim citizen status. So, celebrate summer the Minnesota way and see how others around the world are enjoying the season at the City Daily Photo Project.

Winter sports fever

The winter Olympics are on and Minnesotans often figure large in the event. But we have our own City of Lakes Loppet where skiers come out en masse to loop around Lake Calhoun - even on a very cold day!

Last chance

A beautiful Labor Day weekend beckons. Get out to a Minnesota lake. This one is Black Water up near Hackensack.

J is for jetsam

On a spookily warm later winter day (St. Patrick's Day morning to be exact) this rower was out on the long unfrozen Mississippi getting ready for what will be an extended rowing season, I suspect. The jetsam piled on the levy behind him is left from previous floods. There won't be any this year. The river is already low.

Late season golf

Though this photo of Highland Park in St. Paul was taken in November, it could've been a scene from much of December, too. We are not going to have a white Christmas. Whatever your opinion is about that, winter will eventually catch up with us. The water tower, built in 1928, is one of the iconic images of the urban Twin Cities much like the one I posted on Tuesday from Minneapolis.

Last leg(s)

Literally the last stretch for Twin Cities marathoners, this is what runners see as they descend the hill past the St. Paul Cathedral towards the finish line by the State Capitol. Good luck to all runners this Sunday.

K is for kayak

On a misty morning on a Minnesota lake. This photo does double duty with this week's theme and ABC Wednesday. To see other contributions to "k" click here.

Home run

Summer softball is over, but there's always the fall league. This photo starts a new theme (after taking a break for a week). Check back tomorrow for another entry and a chance to guess what it is.

Distracted fan

The Minnesota Stars have a small enough crowd as it is at most games - 2,000 to 3,000 - without having to compete with Facebook.

Bowling for grades

Who knew there was a bowling alley in the basement of the Student Center on the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus? And it can't be that busy during the slow summer months. Head on over.

Monday night softball

A summer tradition in Minnesota.

Shelter from the storm

It's been a rainy month so bike riders need to find whatever shelter they can while out on the trails. This bridge is in Mendota along the Big Rivers Trail. There's lots of great biking in the Twin Cities.

Learn to row

At the St. Paul Yacht Club (though what is it with the guy in the motor boat, then?).

Skiing the dog

Much more fun than walking - for dog and dog owner. Might even convince me to get a dog... Naw!
