Peninsula State Park, Door County, WI

Door County likens itself to the New England of Lake Michigan:  quaint towns, art galleries, rugged cliffs, lighthouses, fishing, and picturesque farmlands.  All that and more.

We decided to stay awhile here -- plenty of biking, hiking, and birding -- so we signed up for a week in an RV park.  Not our usual fare, but the State Parks are booked every weekend (not so during the week) and we wanted the ease of amenities an RV park offers.  So here we are at the door step of Peninsula State Park -- one of five state parks in the county.  It is a popular destination:  golf course, 800 campsites, boat and kayak rentals, and trails.  We rode through looking at the sites.

Amazing shape!

Spring after a long brutal winter.
Imagine 60 days straight below 0.  Who could do it?

Late spring has meant many blooming flowers at one time.  Fine by me.

Rocky shore.  And yes, that sky means rain is coming.  

One of several historic lighthouses in Door County.  Purple and white lilacs in bloom.

Can't pass a purple flower by....
