THE BIRDS







The picture with the cabin on the edge of the water -- if you click on it -- you can see that its covered with birds. They were flying all around and obviously had nests on the grounds. This cabin is on an island so the people can't really get away from these birds and must have learned to just live with them.
I caught my first fish -- a good size rock bass -- it was 15". I've never seen one this big. Usually these are the "little" fish you catch by docks. I caught it by Little Strawberry Island -- where the cabin with the birds was. The island is just a few miles from the shore of Peninsula State Park. We were disappointed that we didn't catch a small mouth bass or a walleye but at least its a fish.
The picture that was taken from on high -- was taken from a tower at Potawatami State Park. It overlooks Sturgeon Bay and on the far shore you can see the cliffs of the old quarry that is now a county park with a boat launch. The finger of land sticking out into the bay has private homes on it -- you can imagine what that real estate is worth. Real estate in Door County is still expensive. I assume prices have come down with the poor economy but you could have fooled me.
