Lake Calhoun

From The Boy's first encounter with a lake. He's "tinned out" quite a bit since his first encounter with a wading pool. That was ten months ago.

The 32nd Street beach at Lake Calhoun, just a few blocks walk from the main drag of Uptown in Minneapolis, features a swimmable beach and a most excellent tot park. The July heat wave had just broken a few days earlier, so there were no crowds in sight.

This snapshot has also been posted over at Minnesota Stories, a daily videoblog produced by documentary filmmaker Chuck Olsen that welcomes unsolicited submissions. (So long as they're about, well, Minnesota.)

(Of course, you don't need to be from Minnesota to subscribe to the feed.)
