I went to the Capitol yesterday for the rally hosted by We Are Wisconsin. It was a cold and dreary day, but the rally was energizing. As I walked by the tulip bed on the State Street corner, it seemed as if even the tulips were rising up in solidarity.
Three bridges
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.
Tree stumps
Spring robin
First spring flowers
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.
This is what creativity looks like
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.
