Doctor's Park in the spring

Doctor's Park is one of the most beautiful spots in Milwaukee. I don't know how I've only featured it on the blog once before. One of Jake's fellow residents bought his first DSLR this winter. He's moving to Montana in a couple months for a job, and Jake and I have been taking him to some of my favorite places to take pictures in Milwaukee before he moves. We visited Doctor's Park a couple weeks ago.

How is spring going your way? Is anyone else excited to see lots of green?

a short trip to Racine

Of course it wouldn't be a trip to Racine without a stop for kringle. I went to O&H for this kringle. You can read more about kringle and its history in Racine over here.

Kenosha's Southport Park

A couple weekends ago I was down in Kenosha, truthfully primary to go shopping at the Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets, home of my favorite LOFT Outlet in the world. While I was down that way, I checked out the new to me Southport Park. It's further south than I usually venture, even when I'm as far south as Kenosha. While it's nothing special, it's always neat to check out a new corner of the world.

a favorite early sign of spring

We don't need to talk about the fact that it snowed in the Midwest this week (and no, it didn't stick around for very long at least). Instead we'll talk about the fact that plants are starting to bloom! Even though it won't be really green for another month or so, it's so exciting to start seeing little shoots everywhere. Our front bushes start blooming in mid-March, and it always makes me happy to see those buds.

What are some of your favorite signs of early spring?

early March in Milwaukee

This past week brought above freezing temperatures. It may look like winter in this pictures, but it feels much more like spring. Over the weekend I took Jake and a friend to one of my favorite places in Milwaukee to enjoy this refreshing change in the weather and of course take some pictures.
