Memorial Union Terrace on Lake Mendota

From 2015 08 21 Madison
Before we give a big hello to Autumn and its cool nights, let's take a moment to remember Summer and its lazy days by the lake.

Last year's standard of excellence maintained its high rating this year. If I do say so myself (and it's my blog, so I do), the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Memorial Union Terrace on Lake Mendota on a Friday afternoon in summer is the finest single place to be on any university campus anywhere. Add a brat and a beer and nowhere else comes close.

POTD: Ducks on a Bike

From 2015 03 24 Hue

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Hué, Vietnam, specifically on the Truong Tien bridge across the Huong (Perfume) River. But it's not the river or the bridge that caught my eye. It was the ducks on a bike.
