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.

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.

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...

Abandoned House

Abandoned House Not an original title, I know. Feel free to send some better name suggestions in the comment below. Anyways, I was driving to my dad's house one day and saw this beauty somewhere close to the Wisconsin/Illinois border. I had to stop and just take a picture. There are "no trespassing" signs hung up so I didn't go onto the property, just took these from the side of the road, but I would love to know the history of this house. Who lived there? Why is it abandoned? What is the history there? How old is it?  If you like this photograph, I do have some prints in my Zazzle Shop collection, "Black and White Photography." You can visit the collection here.
