December frost
Wednesday, December 7th, 2005
When I woke up this morning the temperature in Madison was -5 degrees (F), the coldest so far this season. After I noticed the sunlight beautifully illuminating the frost on my bedroom window I couldn’t resist getting out my camera.
Indian Summer or The road to Winter
Friday, November 4th, 2005Today (where I live) the sun was shining and the temperature was in the low 60′s. I was lucky enough to have the day off and I got to thinking… this could be the last gasp of Indian Summer. I did have chores to do around the house, but they could wait. I decided to take a drive out to Governor Dodge State Park, which is about 40 miles west of my house.
Looking for Autumn
Sunday, October 2nd, 2005It was such a beautiful day today, I decided to head out with my camera and find some signs of Autumn.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad
Saturday, August 13th, 2005On August 5th, my parents (Lee and Wil Bloy) celebrated their 55th Wedding Anniversary. About a week before that, we took a few pictures to commemorate the occasion. I intended to post this sooner, but with the whole broken wrist incident, I completely forgot.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
A broken camping trip
Saturday, August 6th, 2005This past week I headed up to Northern Wisconsin to camp at one of my favorite places, the Northern Highland – American Legion State Forest.
Effigy Mounds National Monument
Tuesday, June 14th, 2005My favorite part of my camping trip last week, was a visit to Effigy Mounds National Monument. Located across the Mississippi River (in Iowa) and about 15 miles north of Wyalusing, Effigy Mounds National Monument has over 195 mounds built by native peoples between 750 and 1,600 years ago. These earthen mounds probably had a strong religious significance for those who built them. Probably a means of connecting the people to the land, the spirit world, and their ancestors. In fact, some were used for burial purposes.
