9 Couple Pics

And a couple singles.

 

Just Can’t Help Myself

Flowers, they are all around us.  I’m saying this not so you stop and smell the roses, but as a warning.  They are all around us.  Waiting.

 

Praire Smoke spotted along the Hank Aaron trail.

Nodding Trillium at the Harrington Beach State Park.

 

Harrington beach is where I took the Matt ‘n Erin photos.  Oh, and these buttercups.

Little Birdies

Going off trail in the Horicon Marsh to get closer to the pelicans we were delighted by the many sparrows just chilling out.

Spring Flowers, ya know

A pollen dusted jack in the pulpit. 

 

The May Flower flower.  You may remember it as the pope from earlier.  Maybe. 

The Trillium was especially bright and beautiful this spring. 

 

Large Flowered Bellworts aren’t the showiest of little guys.  But, a native Wisconsin delight they are, so here it is.

Back to Wisconsin

And some delightful Wisconsin wildflowers, such as the round lobed hepatica. 

 

Or, some moss.

Gently lit leaves.

 

Which once had the pedals of a bloodroot.

 

Jack in the Pulpit says hi.

 

Unfortunately, this guy went unidentified.

 

Appropriately named, spring beauty.

Pennsylvania Avenue

The one and only Pennsylvania Avenue. 

 

Do you suppose they named it after the state they robbed the U.S. capital from?  Never thought about that before.  Or it could just be many D.C. streets are named after states.

 

 

The dominant buildings around the white house, banks.  I’m sure that is because of the nearness to the Treasury, but I’m not ruling out more sinister reasons.

 

Still, some fantastic facades.

 

Eagles were a pretty dominant theme.

 

See, national banks.

And banks with Starbucks.  Evil I tell you.  That block is evil.  Government, banks, and Starbucks.  What’s next, a BP office?

The Watergate

What a great part of American history.
