Gone to the dogs
Monday, 9 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
I think I might have mentioned before that my parents have four dogs. You heard me right, four. When I was a kid I was allowed one dog but you see they must have gotten awful lonely without me and. . . Oops, wait, they got four dogs after I moved awa
Wind Cave National Park - South Dakota
Sunday, 8 June 2008 10:29 P GMT-06
We didn’t make it to Jewel Cave but we did take the time to take a tour at Wind Cave National Park. Before our tour started we walked around above the cave a bit and I poked my nose in some flowers while some birds tried to poo on me. I don&rsq
Mt Rushmore National Memorial - South Dakota
Saturday, 7 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Next up, Mount Rushmore National Memorial. You can see it from the road. Mostly, I like this photo because of the flag in the foreground. Walking up from the parking. I thought all the flags were kinda cool. Almost there. Closer still and I like
Badlands National Park - South Dakota
Friday, 6 June 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Our first stop in South Dakota (other than the cute little birds you saw a couple of days ago, which were found in rest areas along I-90) was the Badlands National Park. Sidetracked - Do you know how desolate South Dakota looks for the most part?! Wo
A Day in the Park
Thursday, 5 June 2008 10:47 A GMT-06
After a week and a half on the road, I had to take some time to play with my little grandson yesterday. But I promise you vacation photos tomorrow. Lil Mister Run-don’t-walk and I went to the park on the corner and he tuckered me out. I think h

Compact Cemetery
Thursday, 29 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Have you ever seen such a small cemetery with so many markers? This one is located behind a historical marker up in Door County Wisconsin. There are four rows of stones placed as close together as possible with about a foot wide area between ro
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Wednesday, 28 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
We had plans of meeting the Nekked Lizards Monday evening, but you know what they say about the best-laid plans. We ended up too far away and camping in the mountains in San Isabel, Colorado. Much to say about all that but we had no cell reception an
Wisconsin Wildflower - Trillium
Saturday, 24 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Large-flowered Trillium (aka White-flowered Trillium) The Trillium is finally blooming. This flower is 2-4” on an 8-18’ stalk. It’s a protected flower here which always strikes us as funny because it is extremely abundant. Just abo
Pileated Woodpecker (a rare sight)
Friday, 23 May 2008 6:14 P GMT-06
As we were driving down the road a few days ago, in a residential neighborhood, I saw a Pileated Woodpecker on a stump, right by the road! I was so excited and Dennis pulled to the curb while I grabbed my camera. But the huge honkin’ lens pokin
Wisconsin widlflower - Bloodroot
Friday, 23 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Bloodroot This one reminded me of an egg with the yolk showing. So of course I had to peek at the little yolk. Hi chicky! Bloodroot is one of Wisconsin’s wildflowers; it’s in the poppy family. It’s not very big, the bloom is about 1
Graduating Amy

This past weekend we watched our son’s girlfriend graduate. Mikal and Amy are celebrating 4 years being together this coming Saturday as we are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary. She can now do something architectural (sounds like I need
When animals attack
Thursday, 22 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
A few nights ago my mom got up at 3 am to let her dogs outside to do their business. Now, she didn’t just decide 3 am was a good time for this venture, one of them woke her up demanding it. I can’t remember which one. Background for the s
Intriguing Killdeer
Wednesday, 21 May 2008 8:51 A GMT-06
I have always wanted to see a Killdeer because in the bird book they look so cute. But they had always been elusive, until Saturday. As we pulled up to a dead end road in Wausau, near the interstate, believe it or not, we were greeted by this neat su
Birds, birds and more birds
Tuesday, 20 May 2008 5:11 P GMT-06
I promised some bird photos. I took a short walk along a local pond a few evenings ago and snapped all these photos. Some sort of little flycatcher. Thanx to a birding friend I know this is a Warbling Vireo. I don’t think I had ever seen one be
Fun Monday Collections
Monday, 19 May 2008 9:26 P GMT-06
Mariposa would like to see our collections. What?! It’s a collection. I collect photos, tons and tons of photos. But if this doesn’t do it for you, I recently told you about my collection of enamelware coffee pots and copper tea kettles.
Wooden you?
Saturday, 17 May 2008 12:00 A GMT-06
Time for another Round Robin Photo Challenge. This time Kiva suggested anything wooden. I knew immediately what I wanted to share. We bought these huge antique snowshoes at an auction about 4 years ago. They look nice on the wall. This is a German sl
A Zoo Trip
Thursday, 15 May 2008 6:28 A GMT-06
The photos I showed you yesterday were taken at Animal Haven, a small zoo in Weyauwega. Thought you might like to see some more of the animals. It was a very challenging trip, trying to shoot through fences is fun, yeah! Bet you didn’t know ho
Spring is for babies
Wednesday, 14 May 2008 6:29 A GMT-06
I did not know pot belly pigs were born with their eyes open. The mama had three babies the morning of this photo. This baby wallaby has not been out of the pouch yet, so we don’t know what sex it is yet.
How I shoot Bluebirds
Friday, 9 May 2008 8:16 A GMT-06
So, the next morning I woke up to the sound of Bluebirds. I was so excited that they were still here! I had to grab the camera and run out to see if “she” was still showing interest in my birdhouse. Isn’t he beautiful! The males are
Chickadees and Goldfinches
Thursday, 8 May 2008 8:11 A GMT-06
I’m sorry that I forget sometimes that not everyone has the same birds around their own neck of the woods. The Chickadees are in my yard every single day and will zip and flit around you unafraid. It is not unusual to have one land on a feeder

tristan's parents are at it again, just look at his look!
backyard birds
Tuesday, 6 May 2008 7:54 P GMT-06
I’m really not sure why some evenings our yard is extremely full of birds and other evenings I only see my Chickadees. One evening last week as I sat on the porch, I was excited to see my normal folks (3 Downy Woodpeckers, 1 Hairy Woodpecker, U
