Yesterday I had another new home owner’s experience. I bought a roof rake and cleared the snow from the bottom portion of my roof.

Rust on the rails
Along the boardwalk
Last Sunday I went for a hike at Cherokee Marsh. When I got to the section of trail that has a boardwalk, I couldn’t help but focus on the old, weathered boards.
Sun dog
I first noticed this because of the interesting cloud formation — it went on like that for miles. Then when I looked a bit closer, there was the sun dog.
Wooded sunset
Oak tree at dusk
A few days ago I was out hiking late in the afternoon. Heading back to my car as the sun was going down, I passed this bare oak tree. When I looked up, I was struck by the silhouette of its crooked branches against the darkening sky.
Funny how a casual glance up on the way home, can turn into the best sight of the afternoon.
Last farmers’ market of the season
Yesterday was the last (outdoor) farmers’ market of the season. It was such a nice day, I couldn’t pass up the chance to pick up some good food.
When I saw these jam jars beautifully backlit by the morning sun, I was immediately glad I had my camera with me.
Carpet of leaves
Almost all of the leaves are down from the trees in my yard. That’s always kind of a depressing moment for me. With the leaves down, that means the hours of daylight are getting less and less everyday.
While I do love autumn, and enjoy the experience of the four seasons here in Wisconsin, the ever encroaching “season of darkness” is my least favorite time of the year.
