Abandoned Railroad Bridge Littered with Seagulls

This railroad bridge crosses the Fox River south of the Mason Street bridge and north of DePere's Claude Allouez bridge. Large ships still use the narrow channel between this permanent bridge and one of those old spinning railroad bridge which is now affixed in the open position.

On Vacation Today - Okefenokee Swamp Water Lily

I was on vacation today and am barely getting this in under the wire. This isn't a Green Bay photo because I wasn't in Green Bay today. Instead, I went for a photo I took almost three months ago to the day while I was in Georgia.

Hinterland Brewery

The other great brewery in town (apologies if there are others that I don't know of). Hinterland Brewery has the more upscale of the two restaurants and their beer had been available in bottles in the local stores. Don't come in for lunch though ... they are only open for dinner.

Nicky's Lionhead Tavern, De Pere South Face

This is the South Face of Nicky's Lionhead Tavern. I like the plaque above the door, which you can see better if you click on the photo.

Inside the bar they have a quote in a frame with three parrots on it, at one of the tables that at some point I'll get a photo of. It's in a tough spot to take a photo due to the lighting by that table. For the moment I'll just repeat it for you:

"No chord of music has yet been found

To even equal that sweet sound

Which to my mind all else surpasses,

The clink of ice in crystal glasses."

Nicky's Lionhead Tavern, De Pere North Face

When I first moved to Green Bay, I wasn't thrilled with the town ... I'm more citified ... or so I've been told ... and it's true. One thing I didn't expect to find was the best sandwich ... ever.

Nicky's Chicken Muffaletta Sandwich. Eat the fries warm and save half the sandwich for dinner.

And Here's the Pitch

TimberRattlers Baseball ... the localish (Grand Chute) Single A Affliate of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Flower Week: Purple ... or Indigo?

This was really my favorite of the flowers ... it was the closest to blue.
