Art Marathon - Day 18

Before we packed up our campsite at Sanders County Park in Racine, I took another tour around the State of Wisconsin Scientific Area and Natural Area. It's an amazing microcosm of pre-settlement trees that have stood for hundreds of years in some cases.

Though small, the park and its natural area are well worth a visit.

Art Marathon - Day 17


Berries!!

It was much cooler among the trees of the Petrifying Springs Park hiking trails, smack dab next to UW-Parkside. The park and the university sit just south of the border - of Racine and Kenosha counties.

This was our first visit to the trails, which were diverse, and sometimes, challenging. Happily, a bounty of berries sat alongside the walkway.

Art Marathon - Day 14

Along today's walk, I made a number of photographs, many of which were to my liking. Let's say it was a particularly good day, that way. On the other hand, I didn't feel like I had as much energy as some days.

Summer boasts its compelling intensity today - warm, sunny, and full of possibility. The World's Largest Music Festival starts, and it's my friends' third wedding anniversary. Tomorrow brings my sis-in-law's birthday festivities at a campground.

Excursion: Veterans Park.
