I love taking photographs of my cat Poppy. She is funny and has a
great personality! :-) This picture didn't come out the clearest,
but it still makes me laugh because she is so cute and funny! :)

"By the rude bridge that arched the flood," (Emerson)
. . . Where once Sir Henry Welcome stood -- (YT)

The bridge across the Watonwan River in Garden City

Certainly Sir Henry Welcome once stood here -- the founder of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical empires, one of The Remarkable Men from Garden City. (Win Grundmeier) This is also the spot where a beer truck once rolled over, providing free beer and conversation for an entire community.

Reflections:
The quiet waters of the Watonwan River reflect the white towers
supporting the Hwy. 20 bridge by our county park and canoe landing
a few miles south of Lake Crystal. Hidden also are the pilings for
the old grist mill a few yards downstream at the town of Watonwan,
a busy little village, now faded into the history of our beautiful
county.

Portraits - Jack Madsen


George and Tom are still with us! Right outside the north entry to Scheels.

Racoons - Ruth Olsen


These wayward racoons scampered up a tree in the yard when they spotted our Miniature Schnauzer.
