Southeastern Wisconsin Pics

 How about if I just share some pictures today from the area around Fort Atkinson, taken in June, when Hubby, Dino and I were there for an overnight visit.

 I'd love to visit every historical marker in the state, all 575 of them. I should probably start now, huh?

 A flock of turkeys. Are they called a flock?

 Boys doing what they do - showing off.

What's that up ahead, Dino? 

 This red covered bridge is part of the Glacial River Trail, a 39-mile on- and off-road bike trail between Watertown and Janesville (it connects with the Glacial Drumlin State Trail north of Jefferson).

South of Fort Atkinson, the off-road paved trail follows an old railroad bed along Highway 26. The bridge is a nod to that past and was designed to look like a train caboose, complete with a cupola on top; some of the hardware used to build it came from the old railroad. It was built in 2000, and the wood came from a local barn that was built in 1906.

Find it: The bridge is south of Fort Atkinson on the west side of Highway 26, north of County Line Road. Find parking for the trail at County Line Road and Old Highway 26. From there, it’s a half-mile walk or ride north to the bridge. (From https://www.jsonline.com/story/travel/wisconsin/day-out/2018/11/08/covered-bridges-wisconsin/1893951002/)

 Maybe visiting the covered bridges of Wisconsin would be a more achievable goal. 

 Always fascinating.

 A stream hardly worthy of this structure.

 Covered bridges will always remain romantic.

What's in the flowers, Dino?

And more flowers.

I took seven pictures of this fella, and this one is most in focus. Stupid camera, that's another story.
