A Place to Retire
This is one of the older buildings at the Minnesota Veteran's Home. It was the original administration building. It was once called the Old Soldier’s Home and was established in 1887 for indigent veterans of the Civil War. It is located on a 51 acre wooded campus overlooking the Mississippi River near Minnehaha Falls. Their philosophy is a “willingness to serve in an environment of person-centered care with compassion, accountability, respect and dignity with excellence as our standard.” The Home provides skilled nursing care, which includes Alzheimer’s/dementia care, domiciliary care and adult day care will be available in the near future. This photo was taken in the TrueHDR app. Below is a circa 1900 photo of this building and a mapquest view of where this building is located.

Graduation Day
After my nieces high school graduation ceremony, we had to walk past the Landmark Center, in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. This is the city government building, and there was a fantastic sunset behind it. Since this is in the northern latitudes, you can see that it stays light out later from the clock on the tower. I like the women in their gowns by the fountain and the movement of the graduate in the foreground. This photo was taken with the TrueHDR app and adjusted in the Mill Colour app.
Sunday Brunch
Fabulous dining room of the Saint Paul Hotel in downtown St. Paul, MN. During their Sunday brunch, they serve freshly baked sticky buns. Yummy! One of my favorite things in life. What a great surprise. I will be back. Photo was taken with Camera+ app. The Diana FX effect was applied along with an Old-timey border.
