Smoke from massive wildfires in Alberta is starting to show up in Wisconsin (making our sunsets more colorful). This was last night’s from Olbrich Park.
Redbud blossoms
The blossoms of the redbud tree come and go so quickly. Admire them when you get the chance.
Trees can’t be fooled
It’s been feeling a bit like winter this week — twenty degrees below normal! But the trees aren’t fooled, it’s growing time.
Tulip star
The patterns (and colors) of the natural world never cease to amaze me.
Down among the hyacinths
Hyacinth blossoms at Olbrich Botanical Gardens.
Watching the last light
A few days ago I got my bicycle out of hibernation and rode over to Tenney Park to watch the sunset. First ride of 2016.
Basking in the warmth
Looks like these local perennials appreciate the warm sunny weather just as much as I do.
Migrating loons
Spotted a few common loons on Lake Monona the other day. A good pit stop for them on their annual migration to the lakes of the north.
Icicle sunset
Off with their heads!
Someone was not very happy with the tops of these trees.
Seen at Cherokee Marsh.
