Autumnal blossom
There’s something special about flowers that bloom in autumn (like this chicory). Perhaps because they appear at a time when everything else seems to be turning brown and dying off.
Autumn colors in the fog
After I hit the farmers market today, I spent some time downtown, where the autumn colors were doing their best to brighten a foggy morning.
Almost sky high
Hiking through the prairie at Lake Farm County Park, I was amazed by how tall the prairie grass gets. This patch had to be at least eight feet tall.
Quiet forest
Turkey vulture squadron
I think the last bird needs a little more “flying in formation” practice.
Mimicking clouds
It seemed to me the clouds here were doing their best impression of the fallen tree’s root structure.
Elroy-Sparta State Trail
This week I continued my summer tour of Wisconsin recreational trails. I’ve been meaning to ride the Elroy-Sparta State Trail for a long time. Opened in 1967, it’s considered this country’s first trail to be built on an abandoned railbed.

My favorite view in all of Wisconsin
I’ve visited the Black Lagoon along the Star Lake Nature Trail (in northern Wisconsin) many times before. Yet whenever I am in the area, I am always drawn back there to see it again.
When I take the boardwalk path over the bog, and the scene reveals itself, I’m almost overwhelmed by the serene beauty. That feeling hits me every time I visit, even though I know what to expect.
I can’t wait to see it again.
