  • Kold Kenosha

    Kold Kenosha

    Kathleen took this one, but it is excellent. We had just had a quick snowfall with very cold temperatures. Lake Michigan steamed like the Gordon Lightfoot song said. (Kenosha, Wisconsin 2013)

    We were flying to New York on an cold day. The ice on Lake Michigan was thick and the steam from the power plant was hanging in the sky below us. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin 2019)

  • 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)

  • A Little Nostalgic

    A Little Nostalgic

    I have been down to Kenosha a few times in recent weeks. The lighthouse was purchased in 2011 and is privately owned. Living on the harbor was always beautiful–days like these were especially so. People forget that the weather around here is often spectaular in September and October–warm sun and cool breezes. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2012)

  • It Almost Made Up for Those Early Mornings

    I had one of those jobs that were routinely 10-14 hours per day. I was often in early to jet a jump on things before others arrived. The job came with this fabulous view of Lake Michigan which was even better at sunrise. (Kenosha, Wisconsin, 2011)
