"After 5"

Eagan Rotarians gathered recently for drinks and appetizers at Jake's Grille off Yankee Doodle Road.  "Fellowship time" is important!

Beach beefcake

Ripp was showing off at Schultz Beach in Lebanon Hills Park. Summer is here; time to hit the beach!

Toot, toot, toot

Almost 80 fourth graders played their recorders at the yearend concert at Thomas Lake Elementary school. They sounded rather good! Bravo!

College bound...

Nathan Blakely received the Hagen Financial Network Linguistic Scholarship. He's headed to  Brigham Young University in the fall. Congratulations to Nathan and the other 117 award recipients!

An amazing 118 Eagan students received scholarships totaling $100,000 at this year's annual awards breakfast at Eagan High school.  Since 1991, the Eagan Foundation awarded students with just under $1,000,000! 

Through the brush

This red barn stands just off Robert Street / Highway 3 in Eagan. See other Barn Charm meme contributors here.

Savoring Suzuki sounds

On Pentecost Sunday, twenty one students from Kotrba Piano Studio performed pieces in a yearend Suzuki piano recital at Easter Lutheran Church.  Composers included: Chopin, Debussy, Bach, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven and others. Pardon me for "name dropping"... 

Flowers 4 sale!

The flower market next to Kowalskis is open....

$4.19

The neighborhood gas shot over $4 per galloon. That's probably cheaper than in many countries so I'll try not to complain...

Me & my hat

Akqwana posed with her sun bonnet at Thomas Lake.

It's not snow...

It's fantastic to see this blooming tree signaling spring!

le déjeuner

Our friend, Isabelle, was visiting from Paris. We enjoyed an outdoor lunch at Doolittle's restaurant on a sunny Friday. 

99 bottles of beer ...

This group and a small army of other Eagan Rotarians picked up garbage along Cliff Road on Saturday morning. Lots of beer bottles, beer cans, water bottles, cigarette butts and various other rubbish littered the roadsides! Rotary slogan, "Service above self." 

Need for speed

Phil Stalboerger zips along the road on his BMW bike when he's not working at a law firm in downtown or spending time with his family.  I caught up with him at Lebanon Hills Park. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Today we thank all the mothers, grandmothers and special women in our lives! Wishing you all a special day! 

1st outdoor dinner

My daughter and I enjoyed an Italian meal on Tuesday evening. The weather was perfect and no bugs! Viva Italia! 

Hook in the water

This friendly chap was fishing on Carlson Lake. Take Easter Lane to Dunrovin to find it. Don't forget your fishing pole...

4 years & counting...

On May 9, 2009, I started the Eagan Daily Photo blog to join the City Daily Photo blog community and share my city with the world.
My blog statistics:
Almost 300 followers, visitors from 174 countries, 1482 postings, about 100 hits per day, etc. What do you think?

A sign of spring

The Pelican street sweeper sat quietly as I passed. It was lunchtime....

It's the details....

This handsome, red barn stands prominently along Dodd Road. See other Barn Charm meme participants here.

Pretty purple pansies

At Byerly's, you can buy some purple springtime....
