Raspberry Island in the afternoon

It's fun to sit your lawn chair in the sand on the Mississippi river, smack dab in the middle of a bustling city, such as St. Paul.

As I sink into my chair, watching the occasional small boat scurry by, I feel invisible. Blending into the scenery from the bridges and tall buildings high above me, I start squinting to see if anybody is checking out the river from their apartment balcony above me. The only sign of life is a bird, circling the tops of the tallest buildings. It's floating around, making the most of the slight breeze.

I feel the sunshine, warming my shoulders and wonder just how cool the water would feel on my toes.
