Merrick State Park Wisconsin

The flower shots I had a blast taking, if you know anything about taking kayaking shots ...wow it does take some patience and time. Lots of time if you are PATIENT! Still laughing!! But I had such fun and I took gosh, I don't recall how many photos of these blooms ...it is just 2 fun! My hubby will go off in one direction and I usually go another ...found these and just started rowing along ...snapping here and there ...trying to get the best light and seeing this one and that. SO PRETTY!! What a great moment in time. I still think about those blooms. Amazing how so many lakes, rivers and other bodies of water we see on our kayaks are being taken over by these lily pads ...I wonder??! Fun for me to take some shots of. Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care, Beth ( ;

So glad you took the photos from out in the water. I stand on the side of ponds like these and look wishingly at the lotus blooms.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Lincoln's New Salem, Petersburg, Illinois

"Lincoln's New Salem" , Petersburg, Illinois. Can we just say 1st how difficult it is to spell ILLINOIS. nuts!! I think it is even easier to spell MISSISSIPPI. right??! We were told about this site, thanks to a tour guide in Colorado, he said there is a man who works here that look just like Abe Lincoln himself during his young years. Now if you know anything about me, I LOVE HISTORY. 2nd I love anything Abe Lincoln, he's one of my most favorite presidents ever. So I was super excited to meet this gentleman, do you think he was working the day we visited? nope, any ways... A lovely walk & we had fun seeing all the animals. I wonder why we live in such big homes, this one above shows a nice size home all you need in one little room. Less space, less money to pay each month. Sounds good to me!!!
