Wet weather...

I think the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary should be renamed Green Bay Wildart Sanctuary... walk around for a couple hours and you're bound to make a picture to fill some space. Well... getting "wildart" for the paper isn't so much of an issue in these days of shrinking newsholes.

Today's assignment was to go out and get some pictures that illustrate the fact that the first eight days of June have already provided the Green Bay area with more than half of the allotment of rain it typically receives in the whole month.

I was pretty happy with this first image, and then got the obligatory hydroplaning photo...
