Minnesota Scenes: Your January

Minnesota Scenes: Your January

Minnesota Public Radio is inviting you to share your images on Flickr. If you do, we may pick your work to appear on MPR's Minnesota Today, and in a monthly gallery right here.

Below you'll find our picks for January (and one or two from December that were too good to pass up).
