I spent the morning volunteering at the Canoe Museum. Only one set of visitors, but they were so friendly and we had a nice visit after then looked at all the canoes.
It's some pretty light duty as the rest of the time I sat in my lawn chair out in the sun!
There is a nice rain garden filled with native plants right in front of the museum,
and I took a few photos of bees in the Beebalm.

| I messed with this photo and added some special effects to the zoom. |

| The bees were really working on these petals. I kept trying to catch one of these guys in flight, but I didn't do too well at that idea. |
It's funny sometimes what you DO NOT see through the camera viewfinder when you are focused.
So, in trying to catch one of these bees as they lifted off, I was missing something big.
It wasn't until I looked at my photos later that I saw the big hopper.
I am thankful that he did not HOP at me while I was looking through the viewfinder,
that could have caused heart failure!
After lunch at my favorite Pillers (Poor Boy Sandwich & a beer-YUM) Bar & Grill,
I took a new route back to Rice Lake.
Heading East and then South, I took a country road.
Around one corner, I found this little one standing all alone.
A man and his granddaughter came along on a 4 wheeler and he indicated to me that he had seen this single fawn before. I hope that Mom was close by. I shooed it back into the woods.
Not much farther, I came upon a cranberry bog that I drive by periodically, always hoping to catch something happening there! Other than lots of cranberries growing on bushes, nothing was going on there.
But a little down the road, there was lots of action in this field.
 |
| Like soldiers waiting for inspection, these guys are lined up. |
 |
| Sometimes I think they look like little aliens standing in the field awaiting their orders. |
 |
| Sunflowers are hard to cruise past without snapping a few photos. |
All in all, a very good day in Wisconsin.
