Spring color
The other day I was at Olbrich Gardens looking for some color. My favorite of the day were these blue striped squill blossoms.

Hawk at Olbrich
I went to Olbrich Gardens yesterday to find some proof that spring was actually happening (more on that later). First thing I saw was this hawk, hanging around one of the ponds.
There were quite a few people around, watching. I was amazed how close she was letting us get — hawks usually aren’t this tame.
Solidarity string
The last time I was on the square, I noticed this interactive art. The bucket, filled with pieces of string, has the instruction “Add a Loop.”
Just another Saturday in Madison
Another Saturday, another protest rally. This time we marched along with Veterans for Peace in opposition of Governor Walker’s budget proposals.

The clever signs and costumes people come up with during the recent protests in Madison have been great. Here are a few from last Saturday.
Farmers and tractors and crowds, oh my!
Today at the Capitol, farmers from around the state brought their tractors in to protest the Governor’s proposed budget. I heard news reports of some coming from as far as 200 miles away.
