It's springtime and birds are coming back to Wisconsin!
Two years ago while working I discovered a birds nest with four baby robins in it!
From May 9th to May 19th of 2014 I photographed them and their mother every day. I missed seeing them hatching by just a few days I believe.
Momma robin was not pleased with me and let me know it! I tried not to disturb them at all but the mother would come back, see me and go crazy! The slightest noise and the little guys would open their mouths looking for food.
I shot 409 images and trimmed it down to these 33 pictures.
It is very interesting to see the rapid development of these guys in just ten days! After the ten days, the nest was empty and they were gone. Never saw them again.
I wonder if they are still alive and flying. It's a tough world we live in.
Enjoy a look at these ten days.
Thanks,

Today, no rock'n roll or racing, just some beautiful images of our world.
We were working in the backyard a few weeks back and saw these mushrooms under our pine trees.
It's just a beautiful and rather large creation of nature.
Enjoy something a little different this week and appreciate this world we live in.
Thanks,

Wow, it's been a crazy couple of weeks around here!
We took our annual October vacation, and went to beautiful Fish Creek in Door County, Wisconsin. We take our bicycles, and go riding around the Sunset Trail in Peninsula State Park. Rain, snow or whatever it may be, we usually go out on the trail! We got a little wet at the end of our first ride. OK, we got soaked!! Still it was lots of fun and we dried off pretty quickly.
We had some delicious meals and didn't have to cook or do dishes for a while and that's always nice!
I finally went smallmouth bass fishing, on the legendary waters of Lake Michigan with Paul, who runs Jack Island Charters. You need a day when the wind isn't going nuts and we had a great day for once. It was a nice, sunny, fairly warm, and a low wind day! We had a blast catching lots of smallmouth bass! Nothing big, buts lots of them and I caught a gobie with my minnow at one point of the day! That is weird!
Needed to mow the grass when we got home and spun a roller wheel off our rider lawnmower. No problem, got the parts and mowed and then got off the thing and blew my back out for a few days, again!
Apple had a new update that I did before we left and it still has email all screwed up. I see that they have another update coming in about a week. I thought it was our computer and got our computer wizard over and he couldn't figure it out. I even tried my website wizard and he couldn't fix it either. Also, called Apple and they got it working for a few hours! Thank you Jeffry and Charles for the help. Since my computer guy was here and there is a hard drive recall on our computer, off went out computer to get a new hard drive and restoration. That was why there was no blog last week. First time that I have missed my weekly blog EVER! My first blog was on February 26, 2012 and I have had one every Monday until last week!
So, enjoy a few photos of our fun vacation and check out a company in Sheboygan we went by that has my last name, Zimmermann!! Love their sign and their visitor parking sign!
Have a great week.
Thanks,

Every year my wife and I take a vacation to Door County for a few days. We take our bicycles and ride around Peninsula State Park for a little break in life.
This year the colors were almost perfect and we had a great time.
Enjoy some photos of our trip and if you look hard in one of the pictures taken at the marina in Fish Creek you can see a school of fish. They are huge!! A fisherman at the dock said that they were salmon. Tried to catch one but they were not interested in me at all!
Have a great week.
Thanks,
