This humid, nasty weather makes me so thirsty. Why can't I just absorb water through my skin?

More lilies. I know. But they just beg to be photographed, some days. Maybe the orange flames of the lily will keep my soul warm in winter.

I think my mother-in-law (cheers, Wendy!) will smile to see this little guy from her backyard included in my 365.

Day 173

I'm trying to catch up my backlog, maybe a few photos a day for a week would do it. We're soon to leave town again, with new photo ops and I'll do my best to keep up. I blame summer, quite honestly - something about humidity sucks my will to live.

Beginnings

Here begins the Mississippi River, at Lake Itasca. To the left of the rocks pictured is Lake Itasca - to the right is the mighty Mississippi. You can walk across it here. My nieces went across several times.

Day 162

... I caught up, just in time to get behind again. Summer malaise set in, but I'm determined to get caught up before I leave town again in a week (and to stay caught up while I'm gone).
Day 162 of 365 - Boats on Lake Wingra, Madison, WI. We stopped over with the in-laws on the way to Northern Minnesota. It was a lovely evening. We even watched a woman practicing log rolling.
