Here’s some random drive-by shots snapped haphazardly as I drove in Minnesota the other day…
I like the colors in this next one…
This next one is cool in a blurry sort of way…
Here’s a sight this lifelong farm girl can’t get used to---semi trucks sitting in farm fields! Nowadays its how some farmers transport their grain out of the field and some even own their own semi trucks.
This next one is pretty weird, but cool in a way, I think. (Don’t know what I’d do without the word “cool” to use. How else can things be described sometimes?!) The foreground is a harvested soybean field…
Lastly, here’s a not-very-good shot of the downtown skyline of Rochester, Minnesota, including the Mayo Clinic…
I wasn’t driving in this area just to shoot photos for the blog---I was on a legitimate errand and it wasn’t for a medical reason, which is why many folks travel to this city. I did once tour the Mayo Clinic with a school group. Long ago there was a Dr. Mayo who was a physician in the Civil War. He later settled in this area, farming and doctoring. He had two sons who became doctors. They founded the Mayo Clinic and pioneered the concept of the group medical practice. Interestingly enough, the elder Dr. Mayo died in a farm accident when he was in his 90’s. I learned all this at the clinic tour.

This is a lovely time of year to travel around the mid-west,,the leaves are so awesome~! In 2004 I went to Mayo Clinic and had a total knee surgery. It was marvelous how one was taken care of ~ the one thing I like about going to Mayo is that you can get all the tests done in one day and at the end of the day the Doctor tells you what is wrong and what the next step will be.. IT was a great place to go to get help for my knee and I would highly recommend anyone going to this hospital for anything they have a problem with..
We have lots of semi=trucks used in our area by farmers.. Especially the big farmers.
Have a great day.ta ta for now from Iowa:)
