A cold winters day in Winona. About a month ago we had over two feet of snow dump on us, but it's warmed up a few times since and rained so some of the snow is receding. The worst part being that all the snow is crusty and dirty. I love snow, but I like it to be fluffy and white!

This is one of the busier intersections in Winona. Just a few blocks from downtown. You may ask how there are so many trees so close to downtown. Well, it's because the entire length of the block on the right is occupied by the Alexander Bed & Breakfast and lawn - a historical mansion built in the 1800s.

I don't know if it's the case in other places, but in Winona we have both names and numbers for our street markers. So this street sign is for Broadway (Sixth) - the same street. Although most people in town just call it Broadway, whereas the streets on either side of broadway are always referred to as 5th and 7th.

A daytime repair truck in the alley behind the Winona National Bank in Winona. Downtown. When I was a kid my mom used to take us to this bank and we were able to go look at the stuffed african safari animals on the second floor. I don't remember if we actually banked there or if we just went to see the animals. All of the animals were hunted and brought back by the owner or someone in their family.

A house on the corner in Winona. This house is just around the block from where I live. I love painting trees: the light coming through the branches and leaves.

Downtown Winona. A blue vacant building in front of a blue vacant sky. This used to be Ramer's Fish Market. You can still tell where the letter and logo were on the front of the building.
