The bright yellow and blue tugboat floats in its dock, ready to take control of the ships. Sometimes little is mighty. Why do you think its name is Snapper?

…share some of your sun. I’ve been sharing tropical photos most of the week. Now back to reality for awhile.
This blog brings you another weather bulletin. In case you’re curious, people in Wisconsin tend to be quite preoccupied with their weather. -6˚F today, -38˚F wind chill. The weathermen refer to this as “Bitterly cold. Frostbite warning.” I won’t even predict conditions for tonight. All I know, I’m staying inside. Not even the perfect photo could get me out there.
This photo was taken during the last cold spell when it was only 0˚.

Wisconsin State Capitol Building on the Capitol Square in downtown Madison.
The building is a geographical one-of-a-kind. It’s the only Capitol Building to be built on an isthmus in the world.
Does everyone remember what an isthmus is from 5th grade geography? Hmmm.
Little Boxes on the Main Street

Main Street in Nassau, the Bahamas.
Such lovely houses with bric a brac and hidden architectural beauties. Reminds me of the song about all the houses…
“Little boxes on the ‘main street.’
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one, “brightly painted ones”
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.”
lyrics by Malvina Reynolds (1960)
