I just returned from a camping trip, where I stayed at Perrot State Park.
The park is located along the Mississippi River, about 15 miles northwest of La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Spring in the Arboretum
Yesterday I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a hike through the Arboretum. There were a few early flowers out, like this blossom from one of the fruit trees.
