Old Stone Building

This rustic fieldstone building graces a county road in rural Ozaukee County, Wisconsin. The flag, flowers, and milk can added nice touches to the rugged textures of the barnwood and rough stone masonry. To see larger images, visit the Old Stone Building gallery.

Chopper Jimmy Memorial

Chopper Jimmy survived a hitch in the Marine Corps, but lost his life on a county road in Wisconsin. Apparently Jim enjoyed hitting the bars, from the looks of this monument. Maybe he had one too many before heading out on the twisty road where his friends placed this monument. These photos appear in the Roadside Memorials gallery.

While visiting a rural church cemetery today, the last thing I expected to see was a whimsical collection of metal frog sculptures residing in a small memory garden! View gallery of larger images.

Pioneer Village Bluegrass Festival 2015

Ozaukee County Pioneer Village Bluegrass Festival - 2015

Ozaukee County Pioneer Village Bluegrass Festival – 2015

On August 9, 2015 the Ozaukee County Historical Society presented its annual Bluegrass at the Village Festival, and yours truly was there. This year’s festival featured five local Bluegrass bands, and plenty of comfort food and drink to keep the ample crowd well-fed and happy. A nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Wisconsin’s short summer!

A few photos were added to the Bluegrass Festival gallery.
