This time of year my mind turns to wamer climes.

 

 

 

I was in Eagle River WI on a small gravel road.  This tree stump caught my attention because it looked so much like a European mountain range — so I stopped, used my tilt/shift lens to achieve more focus control and snapped this.

 

Incredibly Peaceful

 

I’m working on my fitness. Getting a little more exercise… ugh.

Actually, I enjoy walking and am simply to preoccupied most of the time to actually get out of the house/office/studio to WALK.  This morning I rode with Peggy on her way to work and walked back home from Oklahoma and South Superior Street.  It was a nice walk, about 5 miles I guess (if Google maps is right).

What I really enjoyed was the fog over the lake.  There was enough fog that the new breakwater extension was largely obcsured.  Not spooky, but nice.

I’m looking forward to the weekend.  I’m sure Peg will want to mow the lawn, but lately every minute I have with her is wonderful and precious.  I can’t wait for her retirement date.  :-)

I was too lazy to drag a camera along with me, so here’s one from a few months ago.

If you aren’t sure what you’re looking at, it’s a sand dune, looking a lot like a mountain.

 

 

The hills of Southern Wisconsin are aflame with color and the contours of local farms almost make you want to take up farming.

 

From the distance one wonders what we’re looking at.  Are these well worn hoodoos from one of the Western states or are they merely rock on a mountain trail or stones on the beach?
