Magical winter morning

Last night, Madison got the prettiest snowfall of the season.

After I drove to work, I took a walk behind the college, along the Edgewood pleasure drive.

It was amazingly beautiful.

After about an hour or so, that perfect coating of snow on all of the branches was just a memory. I was so glad I had the chance to take it all in before it was gone.

Cold walk in the woods

Even during the cold of winter, a walk in the woods does wonders for my soul.

The faces of fun

Yesterday I headed over to the local sledding hill.

The expressions on the faces of the sledders as they were sliding down were priceless.

This is what fun looks like during winter in Wisconsin.

Like ducks to (cold) water

It seems the phrase “like a duck to water” is appropriate during the bitter cold too.

Just as long as they can still find some open water.

Dock drifts

At last, winter has asserted itself in Madison.

Thursday’s storm created some nice snow drifts along the dock at Tenney Park. They looked like crashing waves to me, frozen in time.

I can finally tell the sun is setting just a little later every day. For me, the darkness of winter is worse than the cold. I’m glad the light is moving in the right direction again.

And so it begins…

A cool place to sit

The warmest heatwave of the summer so far has just begun. Rather than get all sweaty by shooting some pictures outside, I decided to keep cool by staying in and looking though some winter photos. Wouldn’t a seat on this bench feel good right now?
