O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter.
Du grünst nicht nur, zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter.
Christmas in the Capitol rotunda, 2017.

Lake Monona freeze-up
It finally feels like winter in Madison.
The last row
Final row of the harvest.
Forest on fire
Yesterday’s fiery sunset provided a nice illusion as I hiked along these trees.
Cooking with Barbra
Dad and I spent Thanksgiving at my sister Barbra’s place, where she topped off the meal with a delicious apricot souffl?.
November piles
Muted colors
The autumn colors seemed very muted in southern Wisconsin this year. Is that because of all the above normal temperatures in October? Compare this shot with a photo of maple leaves from the same trees in 2009.
The reds of November

Autumnal table setting
Smartphone hike
A photograph I did not take, of a woman and two children hiking in the woods on a gorgeous autumn day.
The woman was walking with her head down, staring at her phone. The youngest child, maybe 6 years old, was desperately (and unsuccessfully) trying to get the woman’s attention. The oldest child, about 10 years old, walked quietly and seemed resolved to the fact that at this moment, the phone was the woman’s top priority.
