Looking up at a three-story, wooden observation tower and structure of a ramp leading to the top.

I finally got to see Peninsula State Park’s new Eagle Tower! Built in 2021, it replaced the old Eagle Tower which had to be torn down in 2016.

Close-up of a cluster of forget-me-not blossoms.

When I was biking the trails of Peninsula State Park earlier this month, the forget-me-nots were at peak, and widespread! There were so many at times, you could breathe in the sweet scent from those tiny blossoms as you pedaled past the largest patches.

The shoreline of a bay in golden light of a sunset. Pine trees line the shore and some large rocks stick out of the water in the foreground.

I spent this past week camping at Peninsula State Park where the views are gorgeous, and numerous. One of my favorite parks.

Along the Starkweather Creek

A large creek flows along side lush, green vegetation, and a large tree on one bank. A blue sky with wispy clouds is above and reflected in the creek.

Happy birthday Wisconsin!

A decorative iron gate with a large W in the middle, and small plant leaves and flowers along the bars.

Wisconsin became a state 175 years ago today! This is the center section of an old elevator door, several of which were used in the State Capitol. It’s on display along with other Wisconsin artifacts, in a hallway that circles the top of the Capitol rotunda.
