Spring must be on the way

With the warm weather the ice is breaking up on the Milwaukee River downtown, as you can see in my photo from last night. Soon enough the lakes will thaw out and it will be time for kayaking again, provided you have a dry suit.

Oh my, I giggled so much when I saw the second pic - Joyce looks so funny (forgive me Joyce but it's true)

The shot of the river is truly beautiful.

<u<And</u> I think <i>kayaking</i> is a funny word ;)

Besides being water-tight, the suit is air-tight, so as she submerged, the top inflated.... It looks somewhat less silly otherwise. Though it's interesting watching her get her head through the neck gasket (http://www.flickr.com/photos/beigephotos/1865875067/).

The river is pretty. The icon in this comment is the same river a bit upstream and on a rather warmer day. Another (http://www.flickr.com/photos/beigephotos/294913630/in/set-72157594371235435/).

Kayak is a mighty odd word :)

Very nice picture of the river! I bet if you sent it in to whichever station has people's photos as part of the weather report they would put it on TV

*ggg* It surely looks silly. Gorgeous photos you took here ;P

The other pic of the river looks beautiful, too. I love waterscapes =)

And yes, "mighty odd" might be the right label to it....

Thanks. The river area is being made prettier. People finally noticed that rivers can be pretty.

Now, of course, as a German, you're an expert on odd-sounding hard-to-say and, of course, really long words, right?

*ducks*

*ggg* You say it - we Germans are the masters of silly language *lol*
But seriously, I cannot even imagine how weird some german words must sound to foreigners =)
