Sunrise Wreath

The sun continues to flash surprise scenes as it rises through the front windows. On this morning, it momentarily encircled the dining area with a glowing garland of light, much to my delight. #morning #sunrise #garland #wreath

But First, I’ll Have the Brownies

Then I’ll eat the cupcakes! #brownies #cupcakes #diet #chocolate

Hoofin’ It

Vehicles like the one above are frequently seen in southern Wisconsin, driven by the Amish living life as they choose. I was left in wonder, that with all the pressures of the modern world, they continue to live comfortably within their own traditions. #amish #wisconsin #carriage #horsedrawn

What’s Brewing?

As we drove by on our way to Door County recently, the colorful sunrise painted a rosy picture of the American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. The team is a favorite of our Wisconsin relatives, and this year, so far, has really been bright for them. They finished the season withContinue reading “What’s Brewing?”

Oopsie

When we approached this store in Galena, Illinois, I thought that it was curious that they would diagram the O’s in “Poopsie’s” to look like lollipops. Upon entering, one of the first sale items we saw was a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle labeled “101 Pooping Dogs” with a matching picture. More items of a similarContinue reading “Oopsie”

Great Escape

Skeletons in Galena, Illinois seemed to have escaped from somebody’s closets and appear to be descending towards the storefronts. I could not understand the purpose of their quest until I saw the leather goods store directly beneath them. Perhaps they were hoping to once again be covered with skin. #skeletons #closet #leather #skin #galenaillinois

Baraboo and a Circus View

It’s a beautiful location along the Baraboo River, but seems quite a chilly place to have kept their exotic animals and handlers. However,Continue reading “Baraboo and a Circus View”

Eagle Bluff Lighthouse

Serenely perched along Strawberry Channel on the Door Peninsula, the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse has guided ships to and from Fish Creek Harbor on Green Bay for over 150 years. We were delighted by the soft, afternoon light that warmed the air as well as the scene, but I had to imagine that sailors on stormyContinue reading “Eagle Bluff Lighthouse”

Fall Is in the Air

Unusually high temperatures in Wisconsin have given way to more seasonal weather after a cold front passed through that dropped some rain and chilled the air. Now the temperatures are falling like the leaf that was serendipitously captured in this photo of Devil’s Lake. #fall #autumleaf #wisconsin #cold #devilslake

Ripples in Time

Long before animals or plants roved or grew on land, gentle wavelets in a shallow sea rippled the sands along the shore. Over the eons heat and pressure turned the sands to stone, then fused it into quartzite. Those rocky remnants of that distant past still bear the ripples that were patterned so long ago.Continue reading “Ripples in Time”
