This week was the last super moon for a while. Known as the Strawberry Moon for it’s fortunate timing with the annual strawberry harvest. There is little to compare with the absolute sweetness of strawberries picked fresh out of a field.

Walk The Art River
Many large cities have walkways that follow their respective waterways. Chicago, Indianapolis and Minneapolis are just a few that I have seen. Milwaukee is following suit and has so far built about 3 miles of cement filled trail. In some areas you currently need to walk across a bridge and switch to the opposite sideContinue reading “Walk The Art River”
Moulin Kames: Elevation 1350
The view from the top of the tower on Powder Hill gives one the sense of what it feels to fly over the tree tops. The human eye can see great distances when there are no obstructions and from the Powder Hill tower you can see neighboring Holy Hill as well as land and distantContinue reading “Moulin Kames: Elevation 1350”

Lion’s den Gorge county park holds 1.5 miles of gravel and boarded hiking trails running throughout the park. Parts of the trails are handicapContinue reading “Into The Lion’s Den”

It slowly brings back the colors we miss so greatly over the winter months. The average human eye can register about 1 million colors, none more than huesContinue reading “Spring Right of Way”
At Lynden
For years I’d driven past the property at 2145 Brown Deer Road thinking it was the home of an artist. There were no signs, only an eight to 10 foot wooden fence with colorful sculptures peeking out over the top. In the past few years I’ve learned of The Lynden Sculpture Garden but it wasn’tContinue reading “At Lynden”
One Walk
On days when I don’t have time to find a long wood to hike, I just step out of my door and see what I can find. I almost always come across one or many things worth the telling of a story. When I moved into this neighborhood the woman living next door took meContinue reading “One Walk”
The Root of Irish Eyes
One Hundred and thirty four years ago two 14 or 15 year old girls got on a ship in Ireland and sailed to America. They found their way to Racine, Wisconsin where they may, or may not have, had relatives waiting for their arrival. They were brave souls. At the time of the girls immigration,Continue reading “The Root of Irish Eyes”
