A couple more shots from the Olbrich Conservatory. Don’t these have wonderful texture?
Bird of paradise
A few moments in the tropics
One of my favorite things to do in the middle of winter, is spend some time in the conservatory at Olbrich Gardens.
Winter “waves” crash the shore
It’s funny how water, whether in a frozen or liquid state, seems to behave the exact same way (albeit at drastically different speeds).
A leaf revealed
Unseasonably warm temperatures are forcing the recent snowfall to show us its secrets.

Making fresh tracks
Last winter there wasn’t enough snow in Madison for me to use my snowshoes. It’s good to be out there making fresh tracks again.
Snowy sunburst
A boardwalk transformed
I spent my lunch break yesterday marveling at how Thursday’s blizzard transformed the boardwalk behind Edgewood College.
Beauty from the blizzard
So far, about 12 inches of snow has fallen at my house during today’s blizzard (and it’s still coming down). All the disruptions that occur during a major winter storm can be a real pain (and sometimes dangerous). I must admit, I complain about having to shovel heavy, wet snow. But it really does make things look beautiful. This was the scene as I walked out of my side door this afternoon.
I wish we could have the beauty without all of the aching backs and other nasty things.
