Seven Natural Wonders of Milwaukee

When we think of “natural wonders” our minds may drift immediately towards majestic mountains, cavernous canyons, towering waterfalls and the like. While those kinds of natural phenomena make up the majority of entries on the numerous lists of “wonders of the world”—which tend to come in sevens—we needn’t venture that far from home. The flutter of a butterfly’s wings or the scent of wild orchids can instill in us similar feelings of wonder and astonishment, if we but attune ourselves to them. In fact, having places where we can experience these things close to home in an urban region is a wonder in itself.
