A BREAK FROM THE CITY -

On the way out to Lake Geneva, WI, for the weekend, my friends and I were gobsmacked by one of the most incredible sunsets. So moving in fact, that us and multiple other cars pulled off to photograph. No volcanoes were erupting, but it looked as though Zeus himself conjured up a mighty hellstorm on the midwest landscape.

Our adventure lay in Devil’s Lake, around a 2 hour commute from our lodging. There, we hiked along the many lakeside trails, dodging anything that we believed to be poison ivy and floating caterpillars (on silk strings, there were tons! I guess it’s the season). We walked, we laughed, we got lost, we were drained.

Days like these spent with friends are the reason I stay sane in this world.

PS No tick friends were brought back from this outdoor adventure :)

Happy day ~
