The structure of oak trees makes them just as beautiful bare, as they are with leaves.

Back to cold temperatures and snow. Our winter weather roller coaster continues.
Springtime in January
I hiked through Lewis Nine Springs E-Way and above average temperatures today. With the warmth and the sunshine it felt like springtime in January. It sure has been a strange winter so far.
Psychedelic snow
Went for a walk on the water today (Lake Wingra). I got a kick out of the wild patterns of snow that the wind sculpted.
Bald eagle commute
A photograph I did not take, of a bald eagle flying 20 feet above the Yahara River in Tenney Park.
I spotted the eagle while I was inching along in the middle of heavy traffic on my morning commute. With the lakes frozen, I assumed the eagle was looking for a meal in the still-flowing river. I was so tempted to turn off, park the car, and spend some time wildlife watching. But you’ve got to pay the bills, so I continued on to work. I wonder if anyone else stuck in traffic noticed the majestic raptor in the middle of the city?
Waiting for smooth ice
Ice boat “parked” on Lake Wingra.
