They Say It's Yer Birthday Top 'o' The Week Bonus

I usually head west for my birthday, stop for popcorn in Montfort and keep going. May 3rd was the first nice day in a week of cold and rain.
I got to see the place where the Mighty Mississipp meets the I Guess It's Okay Wisconsin and of course got lost looking for a bike trail I never found.
The day has been started with me dancing around like a maniac to the Beatles Yer Birthday for years, here's a taste.


On the wrong road, I thought I saw a sign that said "No Stray." I was disappointed to see it said, "No Spray" when I went through the photos

Don't mind if I do

This pier has looked like this for...ever


My Aunt Ginny and Uncle Danny called me when I roaming around here

There's a train that I first thought was quaint but then more trains kept coming, so many trains, many treetops and one of my fav things and the reason I started coming here on my birthday, rattlesnakes


Fitting this was one of my last photos when I turned 60

    1. I was fascinated by them for a while and never got a photo. They're a pretty cool animal and there are only two kinds around here, and one of them is extremely rare. I am forever hoping to get a good photo of one.

    1. There was another one that was a true crap shack that housed an equally shitty car. I should put it up.

  7. Happy b-lated !! Yeah, somehow it doesn't surprise me that you'd think it's fun to find rattlesnakes ;>) Glad you had a good day-- started out with a great song and dance and went up hill from there.

    1. Ha, it kind of did, but the older I get, the less I want anyone to see that song and dance, lol. Rattlesnakes are sweet creatures, just don't step on them and watch out for your pooch. At least WI rattlers are cool.

  8. I was captivated by the reflections that day, Jim.
