Blackhawk Lake Recreation Camping Spot

Blackhawk Lake Recreation

Here is a great place to camp with your family. Just if you have kids or pets make sure you don't get the cliff peak camping spot! Cool for adults and rock climbers but not so family friendly.

The campsites are all different sizes,.. The one we had was pretty big, enough for three families and tents. There are tent and RV camp sites. The lake has a little beach and you can bring your kayaks and canoes to boat.

The Dickeyville Grotto in Wisconsin

The Dickeyville Grotto Dickeyville, Wisconsin 305 West Main Street Dickeyville, WI 53808 (608) 568-3119 The Dickeyville Grotto and Shrines were built by Father Mathias Wernerus between 1924-1930 out of materials and found objects from all over the world. When he would travel he would find shells, china and pieces of glass and stones to add to his grotto. People from all over the world would send him pieces to add too.

Platteville City Park - Pride Picnic - Music in the Park & Chalk Art

Platteville City Park This park has a lot going on, almost all the time! So if you are in the area stop on by and see what event it happening today! Even on peaceful days, you can look at the Veteran Memorial statues, each depicting a different war and just enjoy the shady lawn. There is a beautiful pavilion, a water fountain and park benches and picnic tables. Music in the Park When the weather turns nice in Platteville, they start "Music in the Park." Every Thursday different local bands play, food trucks line the streets and they serve ice cream and Platteville Root beer on occasion. Kids dance, adults dance, and the park is full of people who brought their own lawn chairs and blanekts to lounge on. Just remember to bring your bug spray. Biting gnats and mosquitoes are a problem during the early summer months! Chalk Art in the Park Another annual tradition in Platteville is to do an art contest using chalk. There are professional artists and enough sidewalk squares for t...

Pink Sun at Dawn

Pink Sun at Dawn I took this picture in August of 2021. The bright pink sun setting behind the trees in front of my house was just gorgeous. The camera could not picture the brilliancy of the pink. I just sat and watched the sun go down behind the trees until I couldn't see it anymore. The sad part of this picture, is that the sun is so pretty and pink because of the wildfires out West in California and up North in Canada. The smoke is blowing over and down and causing the sun and moon to have some pretty unusual although beautiful colors. So as I watch the sun go down every night, I pray for all the people being affected by these fires. I pray for the energy of the trees, plants, that the animals are safe there. It's so odd that there is always beauty in ugliness. ~ Lisa If you like my photographs then stop by and visit my gift shop. Thanks for looking and supporting my art and photography!
