  • Later On

    We have lived a lot of places–this one fits in the middle somewhere. We had a lot of snow that year. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that much snow at home. (Whitefish Bay, 1999)

  • From There to Here

    In case you were wondering where we went after yesterday’s post. Baker hall is one of those interesting buildings that is almost impossible to get a shot of the whole building because of the landscape and surrounding buildings. This is about the best I could do. (Columbus, Ohio, 2019)

  • It’s More Romantic than it Looks

    It’s not rousing architecture, it’s not a lot of things. It is however my first married home. We also moved from this residence hall at Marquette to one at Ohio State. I’ve lived in nicer places, but this has fond memories. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 1999)

  • Drive, Don’t Walk

    I was on my “dam tour” during my Arizona sabbatical and made a stop at the Parker Dam. You were allowed to drive over this dam, but not walk. Ironically I also visited the Davis Dam that day. I was allowed to walk across the Davis Dam (just a little north) but not drive across it. (Parker Dam, California, 2005)

  • The Subject was Dogs

    When you are young you do wonderful, yet silly things. Why we thought owning two hound dogs was a good idea, I will not know–and yet we did. Betty the Beagle, and Rob the Hound Dog, were quite the pair. (Whitefish Bay, 2002)

  • It’s All Fun and Games Until. . .

    Until somebody winds up in the conehead. I can’t remember which ailment Bella was in confinement about. (Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, 2010)

  • Not Exactly Where You Think it Is

    The flags probably give this away. The architecture is dutch but the locale is tropical. I took this when I was using fast food to teach about economic geography and supply logistics. I took a lot of fast food location shots–and a few in exotic locations. (Willemstad, Curaçao, 2003)

  • Polite Notice

    There is no need to be rude here. The message is direct. I love interesting signs and postings. (Lochinver, Scotland, 2018)

  • And the Trees Were Nice Too

    Out with Kathleen and Bella the Greyhound on a fabulous day on Lake Michigan. Seems like yesterday, but it was 45 years ago today that Kathleen and I went out for the first time.. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2013)

  • Autumn Day with an Old Dog

    Bella the Greyhound was very tolerant of this old dog. We had taken her for a long walk in the woods. This was always one of my favorite shot of the two of us. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2012)
