state colors
Hey, Wisconsin loyalists, we are in the middle of spirit week! Of course, if you’re visiting from elsewhere and you don’t know this, it may appear that we are batty. Tuesday is the designated red and white day. On Monday, Bucky was on the hill and a bagel ‘n juice breakfast was on the house.
breakfast with bucky badger on bascom
...because it's spring
I took a break this past evening to celebrate being frantically busy. This may not make sense to anyone else, but breaks come naturally to me. I have a plateful and yet I leave town for a different kind of plateful. The good people in Lake Mills who taught me ice sailing back in January were grilling and I was itching to have fantastically flavorful piece of meat and this:
another shade of green
…overlooking the now very unfrozen this:
ice free
My host volunteers with the Lake Mills Fire Department and so we took a hike to examine up close the guts of a fire station. Inside, all is spiffy and red and ready to go.
To me, the job appears stressful to the max. But the wife of our host said that her fears were not that a fire ceiling will come crashing down on him, but that he’ll get run down while speeding to the fire station. Tough cloth protects you from heat. What do you have to protect you from crazy drivers?
sizing things up
The hike back reminded me that at this time of the year it takes a while for the darkness to roll in. And when it does, it’s still kind of pretty and inviting.

Makes plenty of sense to me, Nina!
ReplyDeleteThe Badger pic is promotional publication quality! Love the richness of the colors.
Oh--finally got out to the Lake for a sunset a couple weeks ago. The actual sunset was below par, but the colors and contrasts with the farmland, while driving home, were nlc image quality. Match that with the perfect music... simply exquisite evening!
That largely inspired me to finally get on the digital photography wagon. We'll see how it goes.
I'm in a hypergraphic spin, so it would not surprise you how much restraint it took to keep that last email so short!
As always, thanks for sharing!
Feelin' groovy...
