Hmmm . . .
Life is so much easier if you're not too picky about the details.

A canoeist in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The canoe is visible at the bottom of the photo, but only the top half. The man is holding his oar and is a silhouette against the waters of the bay, though it does appear his hair is white. There are some items in the front of the canoe that appear to be camping gear. The rest of the bottom half of the photo is the waters of Sturgeon Bay. The top half of the photo consists of clouds and what may be an island across the bay.

One of my favorites, the little Jacquelyn Yvonne, built right here in Sturgeon Bay for the army in 1943 as ST-173, she'd later be named Manistee, then Robert W. Purcell, before becoming the Jackie. She's had a number of paint schemes; I like this one.

A pair of baby raccoons on the upper branches of a tree. One appears to be almost lying down on its branch and the other is upright behind it, clinging to the tree. They are grey with black paws and a black mask across the eyes. There is a white line above the eyes and white around the nose and mouth.

A two-spiped grasshopper on the sand. It is looking up left. It is brown with some white markings on the side and two yellowish stripes.

Reflect On This ~
Finally restored/repurposed, the Brandeis & Teweles granary's story of survival is epic and expensive and involved actually moving across the channel for a couple of years. A battle of wills and egos. But it's back & it's beautiful.

It was fun at first, but 7 winters later I'm done with this shit. I'm tired of being cold 5 months of the year. We even sold our snowblower a few days ago - don't need it in W. Washington. π£

Somebody Bet on the Bay(s) ~
In a balmy 32β°, the icebreaking tug, Mobile Bay, returns to Sturgeon Bay after helping a few ships in & out of Green Bay. Got that? Notice her bubbling system at work, a big help in thick ice, unlike this.

Tugboat Twilight Time ~
Just a look at the scene around town tonight, as the Jimmy L. and the Donald Sarter go out to break a little ice in preparation for the homecoming of the ship Mark R. Barker, I imagine.

Sometimes I forget that the things I see every day may be, in the right light, fairly remarkable.

Ugh.....this sucks. After few years of this it's just not as fun anymore.
Nice Day For a Swim ~
'Tho the air temp was a crisp 15 F on my walk today, this patch of open water between ice floes must have been about a balmy 33. Just right for these 3 pair of Mallards to have a relaxed Sunday swim.

Winter Harvest ~
Just something to buoy your spirits with holiday color if you need it, as I do on this Tuesday Bluesday. I imagine there's someone from the dark interior regions asking, "What the hell are those things?"

Cropped, popped, and color sopped, but this was the view on today's walk. 22 degrees F. A west wind.

Snow day in Sturgeon Bay 's no day to be walkin' apparently; nobody else out there on my usual stroll yesterday. Just me in my long johns and layers with my not-too-trusty phone cam. (The best camera is the one you have with you.)
