O'Leary's Fishing Spot in Hazel Green, WI

 O'Leary's Fishing Spot

Thanks to my son in law, I have found my favorite new photography place. This little nook by the dam of the Mississippi River on the Iowa/Wisconsin border is a truly hidden gem.

There are so many views to see here. The little inlet where all the fisherman are,  the outlet of the river full of lily pads and turtles or the dam where all the pelicans are floating with the Cormorants are all fun peaceful places to just sit and watch nature, the water and the rippling tides. 

Here are some of the pictures I've taken over the years. It is definitely my "go to" place when I feel well enough to drive.
















Notice the huge dragonflies in the background here. I had to message the DNR and they wrote back that they are Green Darners, a large species of dragonflies that migrate through Wisconsin each year.

About Me

  Hi All! This blog is just a fun way for me to show off the things I accomplish in my life, the things I find beautiful and it gives me something to do. I have a chronic illness, and I spend most of my time in bed. Each time I go out and "do" something, it is an accomplishment   I love nature, animals, scenic views and people watching. (Not in a creepy way.) I am NOT a professional photographer, obviously, but I love to take pictures!  Many times with my art and photography I will add them into my online Zazzle Shops, so check them out!

Louie, My Amazon Parrot

Louie, My Amazon Parrot  Louie has been in our family for about forty years now. We don't know how old he is. My mom got him from her friend and we know he lived in a bar for a long time. Thus his love of swearing and saying inappropriate things. But he is the sweetest boy. When my mom had him I was a little scared to get too close. I'd feed him a peanut here and there and talk to him but that was about it. He loves to yell, "help", which has resulted in neighbors calling the police at least once for my mom. When my mom passed, I inherited Louie. It was a learning curve trying to figure out what I needed for Louie. One thing I learned, was Louie was nice! Mostly. I say mostly because kids can make him nervous. We learned quickly he doesn't like too much action and screaming going on around him. But when it's just him, me, my other two dogs and cat, he is just fine. He will open his mouth to warn the dogs and cat not to get too close, but in general they will a...
