From the parking lot, we could see well maintained trails were of the utmost importance.
Water lilies abounded, blue and beautiful.
The grass was tall, and sadly the Sandpiper Cranes were not to be found.
Eventually it got to deep. Fortunately, Kat was to be found.
Hey little guy!
Good to see the dragonflies out and about. Still no butterflies, but I’ll take what I can get.

My god. Why hadn’t anyone told me. Anyway, here are 25 awesome flowers, one weird sculpture, and a little mystery; who’s taller, Kat or ferns?

His eyes could swallow you whole. Look at them. No, don’t. You’ll be sucked in. Maybe glance. Yeah, glance at them.

22 miles and four pictures. Well, there were more, but these are the keepers.
At the halfway point we walked the seven bridges in Grant Park.
The flox was in bloom. A very nice little weed.
My god, would you people stop feeding the geese. To be honest, I’ve sort of backed off of this stance. I mean, if they were in the wilderness, then maybe leave them alone. But, at this point they are half domestic garbage eaters anyway. Perhaps we could compromise and have you try and feed the birds something healthy. I don’t suppose Wonderbread like foods are very good for them.
KILL ALL HUMANS!!!

I think they should change every sign to read the same. Who knew you could be so insanely happy picking up dog shit.
Bird’s are happy on their perches.
We are all happy this concrete facade hasn’t fallen off onto Lincoln Memorial Drive.
And I’m happy that they have left some of the classic brick wall ads on Milwaukee’s buildings.

Bikes. How wonderfully simple.
Condos built by Chicago Developers. How painfully complicated. Seriously, who was going to buy all these half a million dollar condos?
When I lock my bike up, I assume the lock will hold it up. This fellow decided that a little redundancy would be necessary.

Rather fantastic little guys.
I tried to get many angles of these showy ones. Just want to share a couple.
Aren’t they fun.
Nature walks at the Cedarburg Bog are well advised. Don’t forget to schedule ahead, it isn’t open to the public.
The walk leader’s favorite flower. Blasted flower is about the size of a pencil eraser. I don’t remember what the name is, but I remember why she had it as a favorite. Her comment was, how bizarre and amazing this plant develops such a uniquely structured flower likely intended to be pollinated by a single type of bug. How strange and wonderful.
