LAKE CALHOUN AWAKENS

Our summer has been late in coming this year in Minneapolis, but it seems to have finally arrived.  With the wonderful warm weather we’ve had since Memorial Day weekend, Lake Calhoun has once again come alive with activity.

Canadian tourists.

A great view of the downtown.

Now that we are midway through June, it’s nice to once again see boats sailing on the lake, people taking advantage of the beaches, bicyclists, joggers and walkers expoloring it's paths, and Tin Fish restaurant active with business.

There is always a line for the great food at Tin Fish.

Families of all sorts enjoy the lake in the summer.

I just live few blocks from Lake Calhoun so am able to spend quite a bit of time there during the summer.  While it can be very active, it is also a peaceful respite in the heart of a busy city.  There is something about being near the water that refreshes my soul.
