A Week in the Life of Dreamshark, Volume 7

I slipped in a couple of extra shots for the final day of the photo blog. Richard and I had a great bike trip in Wisconsin, and there were just too many good pictures. Well, okay, I admit it: I just have this thing for bridge pictures.

The weather was fantastic and the trail was surprisingly varied and attractive for such an easy ride. We saw lots of wildlife: not only the Sandhill cranes (pictured), but dozens of adorably confused baby bunnies and at least as many lounging, half-naked college students performing various rituals with giant inner tubes. We were disappointed to discover that it IS in fact possible to find a town in Wisconsin so small that it doesn't have a tavern! However, that doesn't mean you can't buy alcohol. With hindsight, I wish I'd taken a picture of the astonishing wall of hard liquor behind the counter of the tiny local grocery/convenience store. Fortunately, Richard had packed us a nice little lunch, which we washed down with cold beer and hard lemonade from the local "grocery."

I explain the photo project here.

Waah! I miss the pictures already! Shows you that I need more of a life,
when I get such vicarious enjoyment out of someone else's everyday pictures.
What do I know - my whole world looks like the inside of a computer lab, most of the time....

Well, hey, I might start including more pictures now that I know how to do it. I mean with encouragement like that.... :-)
