The warmest heatwave of the summer so far has just begun. Rather than get all sweaty by shooting some pictures outside, I decided to keep cool by staying in and looking though some winter photos. Wouldn’t a seat on this bench feel good right now?
Feeding monarch
Another example of nature’s beauty at Olbrich Gardens: a monarch butterfly feeding on flower nectar.

The driftwood’s journey
While I was along the Mississippi River, I noticed a very large piece of driftwood passing by.
I wondered how far north it was when it fell into the river. Where is it now?
House painted
Ever since I bought my house two years ago, the exterior has needed painting. That finally happened today. The ugly, worn-off, beige color is gone. Yay!
Soaring turkey vultures
I saw a lot of turkey vultures at Wyalusing. They’re large birds, with wingspans up to 6 feet.
Atop the bluffs of Wyalusing
Last week I was camping at Wisconsin’s Wyalusing State Park, which has spectacular views along the bluffs.
Frodo? Are you home?
