A day at the zoo! But, there are no pictures of animals…
Well, I may have lied just a little bit in the title. There is a picture of an animal. And he’s right there. A lion, ROOOOOAAAAR! Ok, so I lied when I said it was a lion. It’s actually a stone lion’s face, but it’s a cement lion that was made to look like a real stone lion’s face. So it’s not even really a stone lion’s face… Unless you consider cement a stone… Well, it is some sort of lionish thing, so look at it’s eyeball and be super afraid!
A pretty rope fence. Don’t get stuck in it, you might poke your eye out! At least that’s the impression I got from the crazy groundhogs that were frolicking about.
Isn’t this a lovely bridge? This is the one at Vilas, and my goodness, what a gorgeous day for taking pictures! Luckily, this was one of those moments when I wasn’t being run over by a bike, or rollerblader or some such speedy athletic person, phew!
I thought this picture was pretty cool, but then I noticed annoying red guy in the background. But really I was too lazy to retake the picture without annoying red guy. I was also too lazy to remove annoying red guy via Photoshop. Perhaps someday an annoying red guy in a picture will annoy me enough so that I will learn to achieve some mad awesome skills with Photoshop. Someday…
Is there some kind of tree that has red leaves in the spring? I was confused when i saw about five trees with these strikingly beautiful (red!!) leaves. Trees, why must you confuse me so!
Here you’ll notice the pavillion (in white) behind these lovely yellow blossoms. I wish spring didn’t make my allergies so cranky, because I LOVE all of the springtime flowers! There’s just something that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when I see and smell the springtime flowers!
Aww, such a pretty flower. You see, here I was trying to take pictures of birds, but they were far away, so of course I immediately became distracted by this super pretty yellow flower.
In conclusion, I went to take pictures of animals. They weren’t doing much fun stuff by my eye, so I moved on to bright flowers and other equally shiny and wonderful things.
Happy Springtime! Enjoy!
Dear Holten Hilton, I love you.
Cottage, cottage, cottage!!! I loooove the cottage, also known as the Holten Hilton (I know, aren’t we fancy?). I started spring break this week, and the weather was nice enough that I was able to head up and open the cottage up for the season. And one of the best things… is now I get a spring break!!! I don’t even know what to do with myself. Well, maybe that’s a lie, but I’m super happy regardless!
Another exciting thing is that I got to play with my friend Sajika’s fancy schmancy lenses this weekend. Wow. They were awesome, and led to some sweet pictures.
Tasty tasty spotted cow. I would like to draw your attention to the fact these bottles are totally empty. Yes, be proud, we did our work, and we did it very very well.
This is Sajika’s dog Shadow – a very excitable and handsome fellow. He swam over and over again. The thing was, it just wasn’t that warm out. And by not that warm, what I really mean is just plain old cold. But he liked smelling like muck and old fish so darned much that he was in a constant state of cold, wet dog.
There’s a large amount of marsh and hunting grounds up around Lake Puckaway. Many of these signs are everywhere. I guess they don’t want anyone sneaking onto their land and stealing their deer.
Do you think this wheel ever held anything up? It probably did. I don’t know what, but I want it to have actually been a real wheel and not just a decoration wheel! Where would you even buy one of these….?
I was in the neighbor’s yard when I took this. They hate us – it has become reasonably obvious over the years. I mean, really, who yells at a little boy for fishing off of their side of the bay? Seriously? I think it’s just cause us Holten’s are just way too fun loving. It must be jealousy. I would be jealous of us too.
Scotty was quite patient with me this weekend. He was the subject of many, many, many photos. I probably should have called this Scott’s photoshoot weekend, that’s how many pictures of him I know have. So, Scott, need a new facebook profile picture daily? Cause I got enough for that! No doubt!
And with this vicious attack by the tic-tac-toe reed, I will end today’s post. Just put yourself in my place. You would’ve been scared to. Luckily, I was able to make it out alive.
