Minnesota on my mind

Fülszöveg

Here is a book for everyone who loves Minnesota. Here are lakes that sparkle in the sun, meadows that bloom in the spring, rivers that roar over rapids, and forests that harbor wild things.

Here is a book for everyone who loves Minnesota. Here are lakes that sparkle in the sun, meadows that bloom in the spring, rivers that roar over rapids, and forests that harbor wild things. Here is a country where a neighbor will lend a hand, where the pioneering spirit still prevails, where loons call in the morning mist, where country roads take you home. In Minnesota you can paddle a canoe across a quiet laké on an autumn day when maples glow like flames. Or cross-country ski beneath a shimmering auroral sky. Or walk along a shaded stream. In Minnesota you can watch a whitetail buck as it bounds across a field, or see a flock of geese passing across the moon, or hear the howls of wolves. You can catch a walleye in the morning and cook it over a lakeside fire at noon. You can watch a freighter come to dock or see a paddle boát push upstream. You can step across a mighty river before it starts to grow. In Minnesota you can cheer the Twins or your local Little League. You can listen to an orchestra, attend a theater, visit a museum-or take a drive past bright red barns and fields of green and gold. In Minnesota you can celebrate the rich blossoming of spring, the warmth of long summer days, the glory of autumn trees-and still love the cold and snow of winter most of all. These images-and many more-are ones that Minnesotans cherish, and they have been captured in full color in Minnesota on my Mind. Here are photographs-scenics, portraits, action shots, wildlife-to delight the eye and lift the heart. Here are photographs-by the best photographers in Minnesota and the nation-to celebrate the beauty, the heritage, the pride, and the spirit of Minnesota. Accompanying the magnificent color photographs are selected quotations from notable Minnesotans and others who love the state. Sinclair Lewis, Sigurd F. Olson, Frederick Manfréd, Carol Bly, John Szarkowski, and many others help articulate the profound and often inexpressible feelings Minnesotans have for their state. Minnesota on my Mind alsó features an introduction written exclusively for the book by Minnesota author Paul Gruchow. With Minnesota on my Mind, sentimental Minnesotans (and who isn't?) will remember perfect days and dream of more Minnesota days to come. Vissza
