Waiting for food to swim by -- in the cold . .

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 38 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in Wisconsin.

Ice fishing is VERY popular here in Wisconsin. We live about .5 miles from the St. Croix River, which creates a boundary between WI and MN, and every year hundreds of folks drive, snow mobile, walk out onto the river to Ice Fish. Here are some shots that I took last weekend. 

The last two pictures are just a bonus!  As I was leaving the nearby lake, there was a hot baloon sinking into the horizon and then trumpeter swans flew over.  What an amazing day! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Week 1

Well, my new project is just 3 months late in starting, but I am starting.   To say that the last 3 months have been a bit busy would be an understatement!  Moving and starting a new job have taken a lot of my time. 

Spring is just around the corner here in Wisconsin, and I am looking forward to seeing Spring in the US for a change.  Hudson, Wisconsin is a charming town with lots of fun things to do and see.  It is located right on the St. Croix River and is home to lots of neat shops.  Today, we walked down by the river and around town.

Here are a few shots that I took today.
