Whenever I talk to people about how much I love living in Minneapolis, I tell them about how our fair city was built preserving green space. Because of that, this nature girl doesn’t have to go far to enjoy the outdoors.
The beautiful fall weather was perfect for a visit to Wood Lake Nature Center. This nature preserve isn’t in Minneapolis proper, but neighboring Richfield is as close to Minneapolis as a suburb can get.
The squirrels were busy hiding food; this has always signaled to me that cold weather on the way.

Nice catch on the Finch!
Thanks! You should have seen him splashing around in there! 🙂
