Paradise in South-eastern Wisconsin

 “Nature always wears the color of the spirit.” How wonderfully true. And how wonderful that one unseasonably warm, early November day last year, I was able to visit a magical place with my kids and one of our friends. Oh, and number one Grandpuppy as well.

Paradise Springs, near Eagle, Wisconsin, is aptly named. I would have liked to rewrite its story here, but decided you could just as easily read about it by clicking this link. If you do so, you can follow along as we visit some of the places mentioned in the brochure you'll find there.

The trout pond,

My first view of the Fieldstone Spring House.

The trout weren't quite as photogenic. 

Who's that peaking out the window? 

Grandpuppy Wesley of course!

Where the water-driven turbine once was. 

The trout pond from the other end. 

The wading pool. Umm, no, not wading there today. 

Where the horse race track once was, if you can believe it!

What a fun adventure for all. 

It was late in the day when we were there, and even though every article I’ve found on it says that hardly anyone ever visits, the area was crowded that day, which cut down on some of my picture taking. I only snapped 134 of them!
