I’m finally getting around to processing my landscape images from Door County. Here’s some of the nicer ones.

The first two images were shot right outside of the restaurant we ate at on our wedding night, (The Sunset Bar and Grill. Awesome Prime Rib!!) They’re looking out on Green Bay from a point of land known as Rileys Point. We were hoping for a nice, colorful sunset, but the clouds didn’t behave for us. Still was able to get these nice shots though.

The rest of the images were shot at Cave Point County Park. Cave Point is located inside of Whitefish Dunes State Park.  The shoreline is made of limestone bluffs and the waves of Lake Michigan have carved caves into the bluffs. On the day we were there the wave action was minimal. I’d love to see this place on a big wave day. I’d also like to check it out in the winter. Bet there are some cool ice formations then.

We are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in Kenosha County and much of Southern and Central Wisconsin until 10 tonight.

From the National Weather Service:

Severe Thunderstorm Watch 527 is effect until 10 PM this evening south of a line generally from Wisconsin Dells to Port Washington. Look for strong to severe thunderstorms to develop mainly across portions of southwest into south-central Wisconsin late this afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to be scattered at first…but then transition into a line moving to the east during the early evening. Any severe thunderstorms will be capable of producing damaging straight line winds and large hail.

It’s been a beautiful, sunny day today with temps around 75 here at the house. But now at 3:45pm the clouds have started moving in and it’s totally overcast. The main line of storms is still well to our west near Madison. A secondary line of storms is just moving into Wisconsin from Minnesota. It looks like this second line has stronger storms than the first. Going to get interesting this evening.

I’ll keep ya posted.

Ahhh……
It’s currently 72 outside with a wonderful north-east breeze coming off of the lake. The windows are wide open and fresh Lake Michigan air is streaming through the house.

I guess this is only a one day thing though. Supposed to warm back up tomorrow and Sunday. But they’re talking about a good cool down first of the week.  Like back into the 60’s along the lake.

It sure feels good to not be sweating!!

It’s 9:40 Thursday night, June 25. I just got back from taking Scout out and guess what I saw? Two fireflies!!
I guess I’m the winner

I walked out to the yard and looked in the area they normally are, and didn’t see any. Then as we were walking back to the front door I thought I saw a flash up in the tree across the street,  but wasn’t sure. Then there was another flash right in from of me. It continued to flash into the front yard and then another one went off over my truck.

I’ve been watching from the window and I see flashes every now and then. They aren’t out in a lot of numbers yet, but they’re out. I knew it had to be soon with all the warm temps we’ve had.

Speaking of the temps. The last two nights have been miserable. I don’t think we’ve dropped below 70, the humidity has been so bad and there hasn’t been a breath of air stirring outside. Not good sleeping weather that’s for sure.  In fact, Milwaukee had a record high low temp last night. They’re low was 77. That’s higher than the average high temp for this time of year.  Now I know for places like Phoenix, that’s nothing. But for back here it’s down right yucky. Doesn’t look like tonight will be much better.

There is a break in the heat coming, but not till Monday. I guess we may see a little break on Sunday along the lake. The wind is forecast to shift and come off of the lake. That will be nice.

You know, for me the heat hasn’t been that bad the last couple days. After Living in Bishop and dealing with 90’s and 100’s for so long mid 80’s isn’t that bad. It’s been the humidity that’s got to me. It’s just so stuffy outside. And at least in Bishop it cools down at night. Not here at the moment. I don’t like warm,  muggy nights. I don’t know how the folks in the south deal with the humidity all the time.
