Just beautiful. . . #minkriver #minkriverestuary #rowleysbay #kayak #pungokayak #wildernesssystems #doorcounty #doorcountywi #doorcountykayak #silentsports

Loved the Bee Hotel, “Post-Modern Patterns art exhibit, test gardens, Wolfgang the corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) who will be blooming any day and a new bird sighting! A Red shouldered hawk, who made himself quite available while eating worms and showing off all his color patterns. . . . #jcraulstonarboretum #postmodernpattern #beehotel #solitarybees #corpseflower #redshoulderedhawk #newbirdonmylist #birdlifelist
