Wisconsin’s Lakes December 7, 2009

I recently learned that Wisconsin has more than 15,000 glacial lakes in a variety of sizes, but only few are large enough to be named. The average size of all unnamed lakes (60 percent of the total) is four acres. The state contains 11,188 square miles (28,980 km2) of water, more than all but three other states (Alaska, Michigan and Florida).

As I passed by one of those small lakes and rivers in a recent trip to Wisconsin, I captured this scene. I love the reflection of the trees on the water. Hope you like it as I do.

Here is one of the most meaningful and beautiful pictures I have ever taken of my daughters. They bond like two young women celebrating a sisterhood that, I am sure,  transcends this world.  Love you, girls!

Well they say there is a first time for everything in life … here is one of mine!

In this video, I share pictures that I recently took while traveling four days in a row on the back seat of a Harley Davidson (Electra HLAD Classic 100 Anniversary edition) within Wisconsin state.

It was a beautiful, long weekend.  I was introduced to the world of bikers (mainly Harley’s tribe) and learned about  their culture and lifestyle. Also I met lots of interesting people and saw beautiful places, including small cities such as Tomahawk.

Nope, I did not get tattoos, bandannas or heavy boots. But I enjoyed the experience! Have fun! :)

It’s Labor Day weekend! Though Chicago has plenty of tourists, the weekend started very quite in downtown. No traffic at all and I’m enjoying it.  Chicagoans definitely have left the city to spend this long weekend somewhere else.

For those outside U.S., Labor Day is a national holiday that is over 100 years old. In Brazil, we celebrated it on May 1st.

Above e is my favorite picture today. Took it at Onshore drive this morning.
