Laughing iris
When I see irises close up, sometimes they look as if they’re laughing hysterically with their tongues hanging out. Maybe this one’s just happy spring came early this year?

Snowdrops
Two weeks ago, a snow storm brought five inches of snow to Madison.
With the summer-like, record temperatures we’re now experiencing, snowdrops were the only snow I could find on the ground today.
Powered by the wind
Red barn
There’s something that draws me to old barns. Perhaps there’s a bit of farmer blood in my veins, leftover from my ancestors.

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 Park and Pleasure Drive.
One long year
It was a year ago today that I first joined the protests at the Capitol.
Since that time I’ve been truly saddened by what the state government has been doing to my beloved Wisconsin. The recent stories about secret emails regarding the redistricting process perfectly illustrate the blatant power grabs by politicians who don’t listen to the constituents they represent, and the urgent need to remove them from office.
The fact that over a million signatures were collected to recall Governor Scott Walker in just a short two months has given me tremendous hope however. Hang in there Wisconsin.
